I wonder what is going on in my doctor’s office.
First, I was misdiagnosed with my gallbladder that caused me to undergo emergency surgery and five days in the hospital earlier this year.
Yesterday, a different doctor from the same practice writes a script for an x-ray for me but specifies the wrong side of my body! I never noticed it until the technician says, "Ok, the left side..." I said, "Wait a minute, you mean the right side." She replied, "Sorry, we can't take the x-ray until you get the right script from your doctor." I was not a happy camper. Plus I found out that the doctor entered the wrong information in my chart.
If my regular GP makes a mistake the next time I see him…I am running to another practice.
My blog's focus started out as an exercise to help me learn to live with the deep grief I was experiencing after my daughter's unexpected death. Looking back on the blog I truly hope some of the posts have touched other people's hearts who are living with the heartbreak of losing someone they love. Many years later the focus shifted to include things that I find interesting or compelled to share but I have never lost the main focus of the blog--GRIEF. (updated Jan 2025)
