As much as I love New York, I hate the medical system here. Friday I went to my back doctor, Dr. Bakshi. He thought I was bringing a report from my neurologist, Dr. Belok. I thought they had faxed it. I called and they told me that they couldn't send it because I hadn't signed a release. When I asked why they hadn't called me, they lady said that they were waiting for me to call. Why would I call? I asked them to fax it the day I was there over a month ago.
"Why would I call? Okay send it now."
"Not without a signed consent, but we did send it to the referring doctor, Dr. Greenberg."
I called the referring doctor. "Can you send the report to Dr. Baksi?"
"Sure if we had it, which we don't."
Call again to Dr. Belok. "Dr. Greenberg doesn't have it."
"Oh, well we will fax it over tomorrow."
"But I'm at the doctor today."
"Well you should have called sooner."
Sooner than what? I called four weeks ago!
Slacker?
