leonita Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi Robi! haven't been to my appt. yet. (that's why I was up most of the night, only slept about 3 hours) and the worst thing is, I can't stand coffee so it's hard to get going this morning. Why is it so hard to get an MRI, are they not available where you are, Wendi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it so hard to get an MRI, are they not available where you are, Wendi? What time is your appointment? Its obviously bothering you a lot. Hope it goes ok Its hard to get an MRI because the waiting lists are so long. I got one after my car crash, but only because I had a permanent head-ache, and was vomiting for two weeks!!

I got one after my car crash, but only because I had a permanent head-ache, and was vomiting for two weeks!! it's not until 11:45 am, first I have Math class from 9 to 11 am. it's just 7 am here now! that is awful you had to wait so long. I've been extremely lucky in that my former husband works for the Veteran's hospital, and has great health coverage. Sometimes you have to bitch and complain a lot, jump thru hoops with the HMO paperwork, but if you're loud enough, they can push it through!

Wendi Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Despite that fact that I talk a lot here - I am not very assertive in RL - so find trying to push my point quite difficult!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you have to bitch and complain a lot, jump thru hoops with the HMO paperwork, but if you're loud enough, they can push it through! Leona is right! I know it can be hard to be lous about it, but it's your body and nobody is going to speak up for you. So you'll hav e to do it. I've been inm and out the hospital for over 6 years, and I'm shy, but when it comes to my health, i've learned to be loud. So speak up Wendi, ....................or else the mfc has to come and do an intervention:wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonita Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I find that if it's something I've paid for (or in this case, my ex has paid for!) I can be QUITE loud! You have to be assertive. Practice saying this: " and who is YOUR supervisor?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shari Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I just read back a little bit andit really does infuriate me that you can't get an MRI Wendi! When I read Leona's reply and anyone else who is in another country, who expresses an opinion, they cannot believe we have SO much trouble with the NHS/PCT here (national health service/primary care trust) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
