Well how about a short term issue?
We have a member who had a Turbt 5 weeks ago, her 1st one. She was told the doc would contact her in a few weeks with the path results. No call, not from the doc or his office.
So she called his office. The reason she was told that the doc did not call, was that her tumor was small and low grade, so he will see her at her next cysto in Dec. Now she has been worried sick like we all are waiting for the results. Now I just called Debbie and timed the length of time it would take to give such good news. Total time including dialing, 22 seconds. The doctor or his assistant could not find 22 seconds to contact a patient with good news, a first time diagnosed patient. How did the patient know it was good news, you all know we all think of the worst when waiting for lab results.
Hmm 22 seconds,
Jack
