You da one in the middle

I'm learing more and more about the medical system. The VA has a lot of compartmentalized specialists................ the oncologist, the radiologist, the general surgeons, the GU group. There is a common data base that they all put reports and instructions into. I have found the actual coordination between the specialists to be a little less than perfect. My role has been to follow through from one department to the next to make sure I get scheduled by department B who was requested to do something by department A. There isn't really anyone who keeps the whole ball rolling. My general practicioner in the Durango clinic has taken a strictly hands off approach to helping to keep things rolling in Albuquerque. I accept this role.....I worked in the government for 10 years, industry for 12 years and as a general contractor for 12 years. My bible has been "The Patient from Hell" by Stephen Schneider.
