Talk about crappy timing.

After all the b.s. going on with the doctor's office and waiting and waiting for an appointment to have my surgery, I finally get a call from the doc himself apologizing for all the trouble. Seems that the problem was not what I thought it was, rather it was something going on at another of the doctor's local offices where an administrator was doing something illegal and now the doc has ended up in trouble as a result. I was torn between being pissed off that my surgery would again be put off and feeling sorry for the doctor having to go through such an unpleasant experience. I guess things could be worse on both sides, I could have already had the surgery and now I would not have anyone to follow up with, and the doc could have been blamed for whatever is going on there and lost his medical license. Anyway I have an appointment on Friday morning at another spine specialist and they are aware of the situation at the other doc's (as they are in the same building), so hopefully they will expedite the process. We will see.
