I called the office the ENT is at today and asked if she had received the report yet. Whomever I spoke with said “yes, I put it on her desk”... “what’s your phone number, the NP will call you.” Now I’m sitting here thinking all kinds of thoughts.

“Why isn’t the ENT calling me? Is it because she said nothing is wrong and now there is?”

“Is it because the NP is better at delivering news?”

And why isn’t my phone ringing yet... it’s been 20 minutes. Is the doctor briefing the NP on my report? I’m losing it. I’m at work so there’s not much I can do to settle my worries while I’m sitting here.

At what point can I call back and ask to speak to the NP as soon as possible? I’m not good with waiting.
