Several months ago, I wanted a 3rd opinion at Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC, number two Cancet hospital in the country, and a CCC, with the Radiation Oncologist, due to surgical pathology showing postive margins, and need for reiiridation. I had to send every single document, dating back three years for every test, CD copy of 11 scans, pathology slides, radiation plan, color copies of RT plan, etc, which was over 400 pages, to them before an appointment was even made! They kept delaying after they received 98 percent, saying a slide or two was not sent by a treatment hospital, etc., so finally after 4 weeks of calling, and knowing they had everything, I calledvagain, and was told thetecwas no reason for me to have a consultation, and to seek treatent elsewhere.. I was dumbfounded. I could have been told that from the start instead of wasting my time, and thought it was unprofessional. I was asked if I wanted my documents backs, and of course did. To this date I have not received it. luckily, during my wait, I went elsewhere for a consultation, and was happy with the Dr, and treatment plan.
