Any ideas on how to tell a cardiologist, especially a very young one who apparently has waaaaaaaayyyy to many patients to spend any time with me or any of them, that you don;t like him and are going to change doctors even if it means going to a different Medical group at another local competing hospital that is affiliated with the Cleveland Clinic?
That's about where I am. I lie the Nurse practitioner better than him.. At least she will talk to ya and answer questions.
I really liked my surgeon. He was great.
Here's a scenario to ponder:
The brain trust at cardiology wants me to do a stress test with the nuclear infusion so I can light up a Christmas tree with a black light.
Here is what I cannot seem to get thru these nitwits.
I CANNOT RUN or possibly get my heart rate up high for the very fact that I can barely walk as it is.
So under what circumstance am I ever gonna need to have my heart tested for something I cannot physically do even if I wanted and at my age and condition, am never going to do? My heart is never gonna be stressed like that in real life...
So why should I do this uncomfortable thing?
It's exactly what I am going to ask the NP when I see her in December. Maybe she is unaware I can't physically run and will never get my heart rate up beyond walking on a limited basis..
I'll wait to see what she has to say about that but I am not that interested in being seen with a black light at midnight lighting up in some weird radioactive color..
