I was given the name of a Pain Specialist yesterday by the Cardiologist. I called today, no one answered, and no one has called me back. I suppose I'll call again tomorrow.
This has become typical of every aspect of my medical treatment. No one is ever available. Humans no longer operate the phones. People don't even count pills anymore--apparently they can't be trusted. I'm disappointed in the medical profession as a whole. Probably worst of all, I no longer get a sucker at the end of my visits.
I really hate how "customer no-service" and hiding behind technology to avoid customer contact have become the standard, especially in a field that is so personal, and about caring for people is healthcare is supposed to be.
