Tipping the scale

 This week has started to be something I did not want or expect. Of course. I had gotten the message from the clinic manager that my lab results had not been sent to either my PCP or my Oncologist. So! What I did was to bring in a copy of the labs and had them faxed to the Oncologist. I, in return, emailed the clinic manager and let him know what was done and that the providers should have several copies of the labs. Since I had called the lab company and asked regarding forwarding the results to my provider. So, from what I understand, both my PCP and my Oncologist will both be "looking into it" from their end, I will be seeing results ... when? this is an uncertainty that I really do not like. I realize that labs and results often take time to get to providers. Too, for them to research what has happened may take some time. With COVID, this may take extra time because there are less people doing the same job of previous people. So, these matters with why my labs were the way they were is going to remain a mystery until someone decides they will are willing to get in researched and looked into. 


I have been so undecided about what to do. Do I make a same day appointment with the PCP? Do I contact Oncology about what to do when I have no respect for the clinic? Do I contact the Naturopath when I was told to "hold my emails"? This is just perverse. I hate not knowing exactly what to do and guessing. I realize that it is just what I will need to do and to just wait. My health is important to me and I have been working hard to keep myself healthy and pushing on to my dreams for so long. I want my dreams and I want a clinic that will be there to help me in my pursuit of dreams. I debate within myself. I think that I will win and just quietly walk away from some of these people. 


I am afraid of one thing: more conditions that might pop up and need to be managed without quality care. My greatest fear is being treated like I am medical detritus.
