Monday's update: it turns out that the attending doc's office DID call, but I spoke to many, many different people from many different offices and didn't know who was who. Got a curt call this morning from one of the attending's nurses, saying that we indeed DID speak last week, and she had said she was getting appointment times for me to finish the antibiotic. She gave me these times (Finally!!!) this morning and then proceeded to be extremely defensive- "I did MY part" and evasive- "It takes more than five minutes to set this up." She then proceeded to HANG UP on me when I asked her name. I know I can be a bit hard to deal with when I'm upset but all I wanted was to express my concerns regarding my health and question the (to me) INORDINATE amount of time it has taken. Why the hell would it take 4 business days (6days in all) to set up an infusion appt? Anyway, I called her back, offered to be her friend for life as long as we never spoke to each other again, and life goes on! Still fuming, but keeping it all in perspective. They never said life with cancer would be boring now, did they?!! ;-)
(and I DO realize that being a nurse these days can be extremely stressful...but so is being a PATIENT!)
