So today at 5pm we get a call stating my husband's doctor appt. for tomorrow is cancelled until May! This is a new doc as we just moved here and he needs his high blood pressure meds or else he would have an issue waiting. We explained this to the office worker and she said she would leave him a note. She asked which pharmacy we use and we just picked one that we knew had the medication (which is tough to get as it is). (I had called some local pharmacies today because I knew it might be difficult to get this medication. I even tried to call the mail order pharmacy and kept getting disconnected, on hold- never could get through to a person. Just horrible. So I said forget mail order for now and instructed my husband to tell the doctor to send the script to the local pharmacy,).
Meanwhile I tried to tell her he is a new patient and has never seen the doc or even been to the pharmacy, but she was short and hung up! I just couldn't believe it. I tried to call right back and what else? Got a voice message that the office is closed. UGH!
So I see now- people with other health issues will be ignored during this crisis. Just great.
We will see what the doctor says- I am going to call them tomorrow, of course.
Can you imagine people trying to get appointments all at the same time once this virus thing is over with- if it ever is? I hope I can see a doc next fall for my colonoscopy or I am doomed- and get a mammogram and so forth!
