So I received a phone call from my local ortho dr yesterday. My dr had been out of town for a few days. She was calling to let me know he was back and he was going to dictate my file and send it off. Once they received the dictation notes they'd fax it to St. Louis so the specialist up there could review my case and decide whether or not he'd take my case.
I asked how long this would take and she told me it usually takes a week and a half to get the dictation notes back!!!
A WEEK AND A HALF???????!!!!! TO DICTATE???!??!?!?!
I cannot believe that in today's world--all the technology available--that we cannot do things faster than that!!!!
So now instead of waiting a few days (like I thought I was going to have to do). I now have to wait at least 2 more weeks!!! That is only to find out if this doctor in St. Louis will see me.
That is so frustrating to me!!!!

On a positive note, I am still receiving phone calls, texts, emails, etc from you all!!! You are so sweet and generous!! I don't even know how to thank you!!
I am so blessed to have friends and family like you!!!
May God bless you for your generosity!!!!
