I like that.
I'm not saying that other hospitals don't have doctors present during the weekend but there's a pervasive attitude that says "if it weren't for you sick people, I'd be at the beach/golf course/skiing. So take this time to rest because our techs aren't even on cell or pager" .
Not here. They come get john for his MRI. We walk through the mini city that is this place and once inside the MRI suite on the yellow line, we meet up with his PA and the anesthesiologist. They are fully staffed. As if it were a Tuesday. Jeanie and I stay until they kick us out. They tell us about 45 minutes.
We took a walk hoping to find a Reed Duane for some supplies. We did find one and I got what I needed and we walked back.
We sat in the lobby and read, drank coffee, played solitaire, read, drank coffee. An hour clicked by, we looked at each other and said " we must be waiting on transport "
At the 90 minute mark, Jeanie walked upstairs to see I'd our nurse could call in.
As soon as she rounded the corner, his techs came to get me saying he was just waking from the anesthesia. I can't wait for Jeanie and I can't call her. So I figured we will meet up en route.
I walk in and she walks in behind me.... He is overjoyed to see us BUT starts to cry because Roberta isn't here. He's missing her. He wants to call her. So I tell him that we will call her as soon as we are settled back in our room. John does love his ladies. We have a really diverse and competent trio. He picked Jeanie and Roberta specifically. He loves and trusts both implicitly and with good reason!
Transport arrives and we all head back upstairs. My husband is just beside himself. He needs rest. This was scary. But we were all a little bit relieved that it was done and over. This could have been done at the first hospital if his Oncologist wasn't so lackadaisical.
I still maintain high hopes that this will come back showing us nothing else.
