Paperwork Please!

In this day and age while getting medical care at an institution that promotes and prides itself on a computerized record keeping system, I had to shrug when my husband called the place to get radiation. The vendor said they are waiting for the paperwork from his doctor. I just about fell out of my chair when I heard this. Seriously. We have known since Clark started chemo that he would need radiation and the paperwork was just filled out by his doctor on Tuesday! I am not really sure why this was not taken care of beforehand.

The ambiguity in which Clark is treated by his doctor is nuts.

The vendor told Clark on Tuesday to call back in a week if they do not call him in the meantime. While it has been almost week, my husband is afraid to rock the boat and get back on the phone to find out where the paperwork is. So we wait, wonder and ask where is the paperwork please!

I am sure it is a bitter pill to swallow for Clark when I had to see a specialist within our medical group on Monday. I was referred to another area and that other area called yesterday. It really helps I think when a doctor partners with you and helps you be an advocate for good health. Enough said.

On to other things. We had such a busy week and time just passed by too quickly. Yesterday after school, we went with David, Delilah and Kris to San Francisco to watch the Blue Angels practice. Emma LOVED it and so did Delilah.

After coming home, I went and watched my best friend Terilynn play keyboards with the band Hazerfan at the Little Fox in Redwood City. I have seen them play before but there is something to be said when there is a fiddler in the band.
