Chrissie:
I am not sure why I am having problems getting the records. They faxed me a
form, I filled it out and mailed it back in. They said it would be 3-7 weeks
before I got them. That's ludicrous!!! I could walk there and back before
they got here. I've persistently called and get obnoxious remarks like "You
aren't the only patient here" or "You aren't being patient, it takes time to
get everything together" etc.
I need my medical records for alot of reasons, but one of the main reasons is
because I am going to a pain management clinic recommended by ASAP and the dr
needs my medical records ofcourse. I would also like them because during one
visit I managed to glance at some radiology reports that mentioned the
adhesions in the intestine and bowel but most notably there was a reference
to the presence of surgical clips. I've tried to find out why these were in
there and I can't get a straight answer and am now wondering if these too are
causing my problems.
After the latest circus at the surgical clinic there was some mention of the
adhesions possibly being on my spine and that is why I have tingling in my
arms and legs.
I don't know, I am very confused, very angry, very frustrated, and very very
scared. I am thankful for this group and the support I am receiving so far.
Thank you.
