Doctors Talk, But They Don't Often Communicate

I’ve been praying for your mom and for you as you deal with everything needed. This is a HUGE issue for so many! My mom and I were talking the other day about how important communication skills are, how society as a whole has declined in their communication skills and how it affects every area of our every day lives. I’d love to take this message to folks on a grand scale. It needs to be addressed for the health of so many people rely on it.

Sounds like the Army, hurry up and wait! You know I’ve been dealing with my mom in the hospital, rehab, hospital, etc. It is sooooooooooooo frustrating! We pay for insurance and I have to do most of the “legwork” myself. I have to do the research, which kind of upsets me. But what upsets me worse is that I get a different answer from everybody concerned. The medical people tell me one thing (sometimes the same thing, but not often). Then the administration folks tell me something else and tell me the docs should not have spoken ‘cuz they don’t know insurance law. Then the docs start about how no accountant is telling them how to practice medicine (wanna bet?) In the meantime, my head is spinning, my mother is still laying in that bed and I have no idea which end is up. And then, when you do what they tell you to do, you can’t get them back on the phone for days! This is only the tip of the iceberg. They need more than your book, JoJo. They need you in their pocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
