A vent...and a rescue!

Yesterday MD Anderson sent me a list of all that I would need to send them...it included pathology slides, PET scan CD Rom, all the paperwork the ENT had, etc etc. I called the ENT's office and told them I was running up there to give them a release form and copies of my Insurance card and Driver's license. When I got there the girl's face got all screwed up like "I don't think I can do this", especially when it came to the CD Rom. I did not leave feeling confident at all that any of this would be done...or done correctly.

Later, Staceya called and happened to mention just calling the Cancer Info Center, and see if they could do anything for me. OMG...they are little firecrackers! Within two hours the RN from there had walked over to the ENT's office and picked up all the papers I'd left there, plus a copy of their file....already had the CD Rom in her hand....and was on her way to get the pathology slides sent off to another area of MD Anderson.

Next time I'm at the ENT's office I'm taking a stack of the Cancer Info Center's web page to them, and tell them..."you need to give one of these to each and every cancer patient as they walk out of your office." It would save the girls in the ENT's office from appearing like such duds....all cleavage and no brains (and that's no joke).
