The ER Dr. had told me he'd call my urologist so he'd take me in to de-cath me Thurs. or Fri. He never did. I called and they said they couldn't fit me in. I then called my Dr. and he said he'd take care of it.
Later his Asst. called and asked if there was any time on Thurs. or Fri. that I could not make an appointment. I said no. Anytime or place.
She called back later and told me Dr. wanted me to take an additional .4mg dose of insulin.
WHAT!?
She repeated, take insulin.
I don't use insulin.
You don't
Never!
Are you sure?
Silence. I am not a diabetic.
Do you use the preloaded lancets?
NO! I am not diabetic and have never used insulin!
What's your date of birth?
12/1/44
Aren't you Mr. XXX
No, I'm the guy looking for an appointment for a urologist
Oh, I'll have to talk to the Dr. and call you back.
Wait, remember it has to be Thurs. or Fri.
OK.
*************
I'm glad no one took my BP at that point. She called back later to tell me she had an appointment for me but I had to go to a different office. She gave me the info and said my appointment was for Monday the 21st...
NO! It has to be Thurs. or Fri.
There is nothing.
Tell the Dr. I'll go to the ER - forget it!
