My husband and I have learned a lot about the mental health community around here in the last two days. Because my parents took my kids for two nights and because I had reached a point of breaking down, we decided to spend our free time getting me in somewhere. We literally spent two whole days making phone calls, getting advice, making more phone calls...we have talked to multiple doctors' offices, 3 hospitals, my PCP, my pdoc's secretary...trying to figure out how I can get an appointment before next week, with anyone, ANYWHERE. My PCP is actually away on vacation (HA! With my Pdoc? And my therapist?) but I spoke with his nurse practitioner who was finally the one awesome person I encountered and was on the phone with me multiple times and calling around, trying to help me. I figured out that if I took my medical records from my pdoc and gave them to a new pdoc, the process moves faster and I can then be considered for 'emergency care' under my new pdoc. So I got an appointment for saturday. My old (as of a few hours ago) pdoc still hasn't called me...2 1/2 days now. It would be funny if it weren't so damn annoying. Thanks for asking Dinah. Thanks for reading my long saga. Autumn
