The Road ever goes on and on
New stories of stupidly run health care in LA!
The operation was successful, but it did not stop my medical group from continuing to screw up right till the last minute! If it was not happening to me, it would be funny. You would not believe this stuff if was in a movie script.
Finally, some good news for once.
This is the third installment of how a medical group in LA screwed up my broken arm repair. We finally get good news and great service from two doctors and their staffs. I passed my EKG which allows me to proceed with my operation, and I got an operation date. The surgery is pretty major and has a possibility of not working, but it is the only chance to get full range of motion back in my arm.
The true story of how it took 37 days for my doctors to fix my broken arm, and I HAVE insurance.
I broke my arm on August 17, and 37 days later, my medical provider and insurance company allowed me to have the operation that my arm required to begin healing.
This particular series is not about travel at all. It is about the incredibly terrible care that my medical group, Altamed provided to me during this time. This is frustrating, upsetting, and ultimately baffling as to how this mediocre level of care is even possible in a large city like Los Angeles that has 1000’s of doctors competing for business and patients.
I am aware that not everyone wants to see someone rant about bad healthcare. But this my blog and just like all my travel stories are about my trips, this series is about my health.
Thank you if you read this far.
