rant: I am so frustrated with the Healthcare system. I was supposed to have my surgery on the 6th and then on the 11th. Both times canceled by the doctor bc he was ill. He promised to do it this week, but it has been pulling teeth to talk to the scheduler. I called repeatedly last week and left a message. I had to call the office itself to get them to make the scheduler call me. She told me that they were waiting because I chose a hospital with less slots. I've told them repeatedly I don't care where it is. I have school in a week and now I have to miss class and work. They promised to call me Friday with a new date and never did. So now I'm sitting here without any phone calls or updates still. I understand I'm not the most serious patient they have, but I am so unbelievably stressed about missing grad school when I scheduled this to avoid missing school. All I want is for someone to call me and talk to me. Not ignore me and leave me in the dark. I would show up to the office if it wasn't an hour away. I already emailed my professors and they are waiting on more info from me as well. It's just a mess and I don't understand what's going on.

      @cloudnine That's messed up. A kidney stone isn't an inconvenience. They risked causing permanent kidney damage. Did they even offer meds to change urine pH to helps dissolve it even a little? I mean... that's like the least they could do.

      i feel this, one time i was stuck with a huge kidney stone that was too big to pass on my own for over a MONTH cuz they had no time on the surgery schedule to take it out for me. not even morphine would take away that pain… couldn’t walk.. so miserable.

      I hear you. Some people seem to have forgotten that there are people behind the file numbers they work with.
