Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I see my ENT tomorrow after he gets finished with some surgery. His nurse called and told me she will call me and give me a time. I will just get the pain pill script from him for breakthru pain. This saves me a trip because they can't phone in any narcotic meds, you need a script from the Dr. He's in the same Hospital my Oncologist is.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR It happened again, the Dr has an emergency after doing 2 so far today and now I see him Tuesday at 10:15. It's fine with me because I will live thru this and whoever needed surgery has a good Dr to perform it.
