> Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. You have a pain in your back and now your T is being a pain in the butt. The former hopefully will heal soon. The later I'm not so sure about.LOL, You're so funny Poet! ; )
> I understand your T doesn't listen to his own messages, but I would think he would require whoever does listen to them to be detailed. In other words, not *Fairywings cancelled,* but *Fairywings has a serious back injury and cancelled because of it.*
The messages were separate - I left 2 messages with the front desk that I'd fractured my spine, and cancelled my appt. late on a Sat., and on his voice mail.
> Geez, what would happen in an emergency: *oh, yeah, so and so called something about Christmas, no wait, a crisis.* Sorry, Fairywings, but to paraphrase Elaine on Seinfeld, I don't think your T is out of pocket worthy.I had a crises over a month ago, and just had to deal with it with my husband, and didn't tell my T till 3 days later, by then I was fine. It was a crisis with meds, and didn't tell my pdoc till a week later. I could've called him, but there wouldn't have been anything he could've done, so I didn't.
> I would send him the letter and include that you expected compassion, not coldness. He just got a cyber slap from me. A hard cold one.
I'm going to tell him that. I wish he'd given me the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming I cancelled to throw off his bottom line. I've been going there over a year - pdoc and T - and I've never done that.
Thanks (((Poet))),
