Are you serious? Hospital Bureaucracy

MW had her A1C test today. The A1C is a 3 month average of blood sugar. She had to get below a 6, any guess on what she got?....that's right a 6.

Unfortunately for her she is allergic to some sulfur based medications so that means she is now forced to take 4 units of insulin at night. Not horrible and it will keep the baby safe, but this post is more about hospital bureaucracy.

MW now has to go to the endocrinologist every week as well as going to the OB every two weeks. Ok fine I understand that, but I do not understand why they cannot be scheduled on the same day and around the same time. You work for the same hospital and you are going to make an 8 month pregnant woman drive around all week to different appointments? You are the same practice and it should be your thought process to reduce the amount of travel time.

I am very disapointed with the customer service at the moment. Care is great, but come one people.
