Surgery cancelled?
Anyone have a doctor repeatedly cancel and reschedule your bilateral salpingectomy?
Between office visits and pre-op my doctor and her office have delayed, rescheduled, and canceled my surgery 3 times on me. This has taken over 6 months. First they lost my paperwork, so I had to go back in and resign consent forms. Then they changed my surgery time, so it was delayed. Then they pushed back my surgery time, another delay. Then they outright canceled it, so I rescheduled 3 times. Every time they do this last minute and it gets pushed back.
I'm trying to be understanding, but I'm also starting to worry someone on their team has a religious objection and isn't just telling me, so I can go to another doctor. It's wasting my time and money.
I understand emergencies and cancelations happen, but it's starting to feel personal. I keep having to redo paperwork, get more hibiclens, ask for PTO, coordinate a driver to and from the hospital, buy medical supplies and food for recovery and re-visit their office over and over at MY EXPENSE.
Has anyone else dealt with rescheduling, cancelations and clerical issues from their doctor? Just trying to understand if last minute cancelations are the norm, or if this could be something worse.
Thank you for reading, and I really hope no one is having a rough time like me. I just want the security of having my sterilization over and done with.
