We went to San Francisco. I checked my home phone messages as soon as we arrived in SF. It seems that the doctor (specialist) who had given me a stomach scope in January, wanted to see me for a consultation, the phone message said. When I reached his secretary, after a couple of days trying, I asked her why the doctor wanted to see me, as he had told me after the scope, that I was fine. She said that he may want to discuss the results of the biopsy that he took. (OK - What would YOU think? I live in a family full of cancer.) The secretary immediately made an appointment for me to see the doctor on the day after arriving home. (So soon, I thought). Today, we braved a snow storm to drive the hour to the hospital to see this specialist.... who again said that I was fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ergggggggggggg!!! I'm thrilled that I am fine, of course, but thought that A: I was taking up valuable Doctor time for people that really need to be seen; and B: What was I doing there???
Moral of the story: NEVER check your telephone messages while on vacation.
