    Surgeon Etiquette

    Thats normal. A surgeon will not see the same day of sx. Unless simething went or is going wrong with you. You might not even see the surgeon the next day if he has a pa. How do i know because i am a surgical rn. Usually if thry sit at the desk they r reviewing charts placing orders or divtating their notes.

  16. Sounds like the psych md denied you because you seemed mentally unstable.
  17. Dont think its necessary to mention minorities, they did not deny you!! Your case wasnt not properly presented therefore it was denied!! I am a registered nurse and provide service to bariatric patients who are approved by medical and end up being noncompliant and are gbgb's!!
