I made the mistake of not bringing 20 years of medical records with me lol. I can't prove that a pre-existing condition is in fact long term pre-existing without them so have to see a specialist to get clearance to have surgery.
At least I am prepared when it does happen.
Bummer!
ReplyDeleteSort of. It will still happen this month probably.
DeleteDisappointing to be all mentally ready and then have to return at another date. One might think the computers would have those records.
ReplyDeleteComputers do have those records but different state, different health systems. I did ask if they wanted me to request the relevant ones but they said no, they want a current assessment. It takes about 2 weeks to get old medical records from Emory Health System.
DeleteIf it's not one thing it's another. Goodness! Though you did mention in a previous post seemed things were not just right.
ReplyDeleteI am glad they are being careful and this is definitely something that can happen later so all is good.
DeleteWhen the time is right, you'll have the surgery. They're definitely being thorough and hopefully that means they will give you excellent care.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great perspective!
DeleteWell, maybe it's for the best right now with everything going on. Hopefully it can get rescheduled soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Feeling less stressed by it and glad pre-op will be careful.
