Erin go Bragh - Steve go Urologist (Bladder Cancer) - March 17, 2008

Due to yet another need to travel for work, I needed to leave Monday evening for Tucson again, and would need to miss the Urology appointment. I called the office on Friday and asked about moving the appointment. They asked which doctor I was with. I was told by the other (incompetent) staff at the first doctor's office that it was Dr. Scott Hopkins. "Impossible. He's in Surgery every Wednesday. Let's see...oh, you're with Dr. Gange." Fine. Can we move to Monday? "Not with Dr. Gange." I don't care which doctor, this is a first time referral. "We don't have any slots available, I can schedule you with a PA?" I don't need a Physician's Assistant, I need to see a Urologist. I have already seen a doctor for this. "Well, we can schedule you with Elizabeth Darling." Hmm. A female urologist. In Utah. That could be a tough gig - for her. I asked if she was any good. "Oh yes, we all like her." Fine. Do it. Jeez. So we are on for 2PM on Monday, March 17, St. Patrick's Day. Good thing I'm Irish.

On Sunday night my urine looked like cranapple juice ...
