DR Ron Pulliam, was this your first MRI? I'm sorry you were so stressed out.

I had one, apparently minor, MRI previously.  I don't recall what it was for, but it lasted only about 10 minutes, so I had no idea what to expect for this one.   The worst part is that no one told me what they would be doing before they did it.  They just started putting stuff on me...and it was a bit unsettling.

DR Jeanne:   Just a thought about your ordeal scheduling your YAG.   I am wondering if the problem is with uncertainty of the ophthalmologist's availability in the near future.  Is it possible he (or she) is facing some life-changing events that may make definite scheduling for now a challenge?

Of course, it would be nice for that office to be able to refer you to a backup doctor, but sometimes that isn't practical.

Thanks to all for the vibes/concerns expressed over my MRI yesteday.

It seems like ancient history now.  Not only did I have a three-hour nap yesterday afternoon, but I slept 8 1/2 hours last night without waking up one time.

I feel very refreshed.

I have no idea when I will learn the results of the test.  I have a follow-up appointment with the ENT doctor who ordered the test on December 4th.  I presume I'll learn of the results then unless something turns up that requires more immediate attention.

DR Ron I am very sorry your MRI was so horrible, also surprised the dye didn't work.

My first MRI too was a nightmare that lasted an hour, and I had taken something to relax me.  It was the physical pain that was the worst part, and having no conception of how much time I had left in there.

I am very surprised being clauserphopic your doctor didn't prescribe something for you to take.  Nothing or completely out without an inbetween option.

My MRI times are shorter now due to better equipment, and I no longer need anything to calm me.  I can't even count how many times I have done them.

DR Jeanne:   Just a thought about your ordeal scheduling your YAG.   I am wondering if the problem is with uncertainty of the ophthalmologist's availability in the near future.  Is it possible he (or she) is facing some life-changing events that may make definite scheduling for now a challenge?

Of course, it would be nice for that office to be able to refer you to a backup doctor, but sometimes that isn't practical.

 That is quite possible. They were giving me zero information, just BS replies. Real stonewalling. I resorted to the Senior Card, as I sometimes do, explaining that I’m a senior and have multiple medical conditions and many, many medical appointments. I also explained that the doctor told me that if I had certain symptoms I should call him immediately, as he’d want to see me right away. Is he back to normal hours? Could he accommodate me? Do I need to look for another ophthalmologist? I asked because I feel that these are reasonable patient concerns and kept telling her, “We need to know” and that they were leaving us in limbo.
Title: Re: THE SHAPE OF THINGS, SHOW-WISE
Post by: Jeanne on November 03, 2023, 04:15:53 PM
The admin people who do the scheduling in medical offices are usually young women, who often don’t have much in the way of job skills or experience. You can usually tell when you get a somewhat older person, as they just handle things better. The twenty-somethings have little insight into what life is like for a senior going through the medical maze. I always feel compelled to try to educate them. A family emergency could be any number of things. We understand that the doctor needs time off, but our medical issues don’t suddenly cease because the doctor isn’t available. I feel patients deserve straight answers, which I wasn’t getting.
Title: Re: THE SHAPE OF THINGS, SHOW-WISE
Post by: Jeanne on November 03, 2023, 04:20:32 PM
When I see the doctor for the YAG I’ll bring up the concern I have over my vision, which I’d planned to discuss with him during my now-cancelled annual exam. I suspect more will become clear at that time.

Vixmom, where shall we meet at 11 am Nov. 11?

I'd suggest meeting at the corner of 11th St. and 11th Ave. at 11:11 on 11/11.

I mean, not that it's any of my business...

There’s a missing man in my town. Wandered over the border from Canada while on a walk. He’s 82 and has some dementia. Was seen on camera walking over but nobody’s been able to find him. Been searching and have realized how much difficult terrain there is in this 4 square miles. It’s been almost 3 days now so hopes are not high. Unless he wandered into someone’s beach cabin and is resting comfortably. The other fear is he wandered out to sea.
