Still Waiting, and Not Patiently

It's Friday—how the heck did this Friday manage to show up so quickly after the last one?—and I'm hoping that our health-care providers have actually done their job.

Ed and I have been waiting for what seems like forever for a referral to a neurologist for him, so that we can get on with the process of figuring out what to do about the colloid brain cyst that a hospital radiologist found on the head computed tomograpy (CT) scans that Ed underwent way back on February 6 when he gashed his forehead at work. The last we heard was that the hospital was in the process of acting on our request to send the CT films to Ed's primary-care physician at the HMO's local group practice.

If he were dying, would the bureaucracy move any faster? I doubt it. It's not the bureaucrats' lives that are on hold.

I'll keep you posted.
