Brain Fog and Them

Burke Gilman - 21 Jul 2006 18:59 GMT Did my injection and got home late from a night class yesterday as usual. Sometime after that, I got at least a few hours of sleep, but over-slept through the brain fog and missed my early appointment at Hep Clinic this morning.
So I called the patient care coordinator to notify ASAP that I am late and at least an hour away. In place of the care-coordinator I reached an answering-machine robot that said it was out of the office until next week and advised me to call somebody else or leave a message.
Thus, with my care newly coordinated, I proceeded to call somebody else. After an obligatory button-pushing dialog with another machine, I got through to yet a another robot, this one human. I notified the human that I had missed my appointment. The human promptly responded by providing me with a new appointment date -- set two months from now.
I advised the human that my care-provider might want to see me sooner than two months from now, in regard to new laboratory results and other issues. The human was surely as smart as a Barbie-Doll on Adderall, and accordingly advised. She said, "Oh, you will have to talk to *them* about that."
Right. I will have to "talk to them." Maybe just get out a couple tin cans and ten miles of string, and talk to them. Maybe call back the robot answering-machine and talk with the patient care-coordinator who isn't there.. Maybe talk to *them* like I'm not already completely busy talking to the walls.

As long as the pharmacy hands over what I need to stay dosed-out on riba and IFN for seven more weeks, the care provider is irrelevant.
