Love the neurologist, hate the 2 week response time to phone calls. Would you change doctors?
The first interaction two months ago was regarding the picc line left in from the hospital. Received IV steroids for a week after but no one ever called us to tell us whether to leave it in or let the nurses at the infusion clinic to pull it out.
this last time was about the doctor visit we had on a Wednesday where he ordered another round of IV steroids b/c or some extreme swelling around a plaque that wouldn't settle. No one ever made things happen to help my hubby out. we had to call for more than a week and still we had no one to ever return our call.
finally, the head ceo of my office (I work for an md office) called there to complain, after hearing my woes, inadvertently. I received a call within 4 minutes.
should it really take these types of measures to get medical help?
the md seems to have a good raport with my husband. my husband loves this doctor. my husband - the ms patient- left a call this past Monday on the nurses voicemail, still no return call. this call is about him trying to hit his very first MS dmd - rebif- started. the dr ordered this at the same time as the iv steroids back last month on the tenth.
it really feels like we're being ignored. what would you do in this situation?
