Thank you all for your kind words and advise. I wish I could just up and go find another doctor. My insurance won't cover a CCC. My sister and I have tried to call a patient advocate at the hospital. We both have left several messages but for some reason, they haven't called us back, and this has been going on for at least 2 weeks. This is so frustrating and I am losing the energy to fight. Thank God for my sister, she is trying her best to fight for me. This hospital is always on the list for "Best Hospitals" in the country but I sure don't see it.
Ok, I will quit whining and feeling sorry for myself. (I am talking myself into feeling strong). Thanks for letting me vent. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon.
Yes, I am feeling better already.
Thank You
