This morning was my initial consultation and Dr. visit. It was supposed to be a 3 hour ordeal...it ended up being almost 4! It was ridiculous! The bottle neck was that there were like 12 of us for the hour long presentation and requisite Dr. one on one afterward and, when we got there, instead of asking everyone as they came in for their Insurance Card and handed them a clipboard, they had people sign in, wait to be called up, asked for their Insurance Card, made a copy of it, and then handed them the clipboard for more paperwork to fill out.

Then, after that, we had to wait until they called us back individially to get our height/weight/BP and sent us back to the waiting room. I got there at 8am...it was 9:40 when they finally started the presentation. It was over at 11:30, I was finally seen by the Dr. at 12:30...now, I don't know about anyone else but, that was pretty bad!

Nonetheless, I finally got to talk to Dr. Caccuci and she said that she thought I was a good candidate and I should have no problems getting approved. *I've heard that before* So, my next steps are to get my PCP to fax over my medical records to Dr. C and schedule my psych eval...which, I'm told, is another 3 hour ordeal.

Actually, my next step is to talk to my boss today and let him know what is going on with all these Dr. appts I'm going to start having...this should be fun.
