21 days before surgery
Today I discovered how to get things moving on my surgery:
- Get mild, persistent chest pain
- Go to GP for an ECG
- Panic GP by mentioning 'chest', 'pain' and 'breathlessness' in the same sentence
- Get a free ride to heart-specialty hospital in ambulance (no sirens)
- Allow hospital to discover that they've lost your records
- Stay overnight because they don't know if your ECG is normal, because they don't have your records
- See your cardiologist, mention the surgeon who's supposed to be doing your surgery
- Allow hospital to discover that you were listed under the wrong surgeon, for the wrong surgery
- Assure apologetic surgeon that next week or the week after will be fine for the surgery
