            Mike, you are not too sensitive, you’ve just joined me on the intolerance train. I literally have ZERO tolerance for these ridiculous workflows any more. Patients are expected to navigate a system they have absolutely no control over nor any access to the backend 🙂 As always, totally willing to lose it with Dr office on your behalf 🙂 Outsiders are good like you said, glad you are seeing Dr. Hamid soon. Keep up the righteous anger!

                Hi Mike,
                I’m so glad that you have an appointment with Hamid. I don’t think you are too sensitive and I know how you feel about the insensitivity! Once or twice my husband has had a “talk” with my doctor or nurse because of their insensitivity when I can’t take much more. It’s very hard to fight the melanoma and the system but we all have to! You are a strong person and I love your attitude! You help us all be stronger and I hope we help add to your strength as well!

Thee Dr. Hamid!, plus, today, my wife dropped off their “20” page packet i had to fill out, they said its better for them to get it ahead of time which is understable, especially the 3 pages for them asking for me to explain my melanoma history, dates, meds, surgerys, infusions, biopsys, scans etc., they ONLY included one blank page, haha, must be for new comers cuz i made my own “additional” pages! Comon! Since 2008! Alot went on! ;)….im HAPPY! Hugs to everyone.
