Health- quasi-living
Today I tried again (forever the optimist) to call VCU and see if I could find out what was going on when it comes to the two tests that were supposed to be scheduled... the first call ended after I was on hold for about 20 minutes and it hung up on me and the second call ended with me giving my name and number for a 'call back'. They have never called back before and I doubt seriously that they will call back now.
On Monday I will be calling in one last time, and if I do not get any answers I will tell them to cancel my follow-up appointment because it would be useless to go for a follow-up on tests that are never done!
The care and concern for human life (other than their own) is shocking in it's lack.
I also have not gotten a call or e-mail response to my plea to the Doctor at UVA... and this leaves me in the un-enviable position of having no possibility for care at all.
Yes... in America if you do not have Insurance then you become sub-human and as such you do not deserve medical care.
The SPCA will arrest you if you neglect an animal and do not get them the medical care you need yet there is no Govt entity that makes sure that human beings who need care are not neglected and left to suffer.
(Yes, a rant... I am in pain and grumpy)
On the bright side I had the mold for my new ankle brace made today (thank goodness this is a Workman's Compensation issue) and hopefully with the new brace (which I get in about 2 weeks) my ankle will stay in joint for a change. I decided to go against getting a solid black one and picked a pattern with small boats and nautical items on a blue background. It many not go with everything I wear, but I needed a bit of whimsy after today.
