Sorry, sorry, sorry this has happened. Do you have an advocate? Someone who can do some of the ringing or questioning for you? It sounds to me as if you've never had quite enough information and I know that it's exhausting having to battle your own case if you're not feeling well.

I think you can complain about the last minute request for a heart test. I thought all that testing was done when the surgery was scheduled. When will you see your doctor?

Hope everything gets cleared up soon.
