The way things were left, it seems I have to grin and bear it.

I know they're busy and short staffed in hospitals (here, anyway) but you would think they could stick to the format they are supposed to follow. You certainly had something to grouse over. I am finding it difficult to accept that a doctor can act the way mine has but I guess I will get over it.

I'm sorry you don't have a satisfying explanation for your test results and I think you're right not to trust the office staff. On the good side, if they had found anything glaring I'm sure the doctor would have called you personally if for no other reason than they are covering their legal butts.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.com
