Funny liver specialist phone call...

Well I did it. I actually phoned the hepatology unit at HSC so that I could get my "official" liver biopsy results. I already knew the jist of the results because the lady from the liver study I'm in, phoned me and gave me the results (as previously stated in the post from yesterday) but still, I thought it appropriate to phone and get the results from the doctor that ordered the test. They did tell me to phone 2-3 weeks after the test anyways, so I gave them a month, quite generous of me.

It was quiet today at work, so I decided to take and chance and phone there at 10:30am. Here's where the story gets mildy humorous.

Apparently, my specialist doesn't have my results. Go figure. Here's a close copy to my conversation with the nurse

BabyC: Hi, my name is C, and I was told to phone this number to get my liver biopsy results.
Nurse: When did you have the biopsy?
C: On may 25.
N: Oh. And your name again is?
so I repeat my name...
N: Yeah, we don't have those results yet. They haven't come back yet.
[C (thinking in her head): uuhhh ok? Weird. Ok I'll just go with the flow, no need to rock the boat]
C: Oh. Okay then.
N: So your name is .... Okay I'll get your number and I'll get your doctor to phone you as soon as they come in...
---end of conversation----

Ok is that not just funny? The people performing the liver study have my results, but not my actual doctor.

Mind you it is a big hospital and they could very well have the results sitting on the desk just not put in my chart yet or something like that. So many channels to pass throught. Plus hepatology has tons of patients, so it wouldn't surprise me. But still they told me 2-3 weeks and I gave them 4 weeks. Seesh, thank god for the study or else I'd be sitting here pulling out my hair.

The worst part about the conversation was that fact that she told me my doctor (well by name) would phone me. I never told her my doctor's name (although I'm pretty sure I was talking with his nurse, but she did answer the phone 'Liver Unit'), or at least I don't recall naming names.

A little later in the morning the thought of her getting the doctor to phone me with the results got me thinking. I was all worried that maybe they had my results and that they just wanted the dr. to give me the results himself because there was more to it than the liver study nurse told me. I could have sworn on my last visit (before the biopsy) that the nurse told me that one of his nurses would give me the results over the phone. thinking of that totally made me overreact.

I'm sure I'm just a little paranoid. But still. I'd rather think that the nurse i talked to on the phone is his nurse and that is why she named names. But the fact that she didn't really have to go and check my file to know if the results where there. Mind you they are changing to more of a computer based system, so it could have been possible that she just typed my name in the computer or something. I don't know. It's all strange.

I just thought the fact that the liver unit and my specialist didn't have my results to be mildy amusing. Ah well, c'est la vie. Plus for some reason, my info form on NASH has gone missing. I fear my father has chucked it, for some stupid lameass reason. I hope not because I rather enjoyed that sheet and I never had the chance to fully read it. If he did, he's going down...

So apparently no beach tomorrow. Boo to Carla! Silly family having the nerve to have planned something on our beach day. Hehe, just kidding. I still wuv you Carla. Instead I get to see Bewitched. It's nothing compared to the beach but it will still be a blast. Plus we plan to move the beach day to canada day, so it's all good. It's exxxxcellent. mwhahaha.

Any hoos, I should probably resume cleaning me room. I mean this is a two week process, it's only fair I clean up another sock just to keep the tradition up. Hehe.

Later dayz!!!
