So apparently my doctor thinks it's not necessary to see me again until after I have the nerve testing done. And considering that the B&J center says they can't get it done any earlier than August 8th, which is 7 weeks to the day following my break, I would therefore expect to be lucky if I saw him again before the 8 week mark. :P
I tried to call in and arrange a followup apppointment earlier than that but the guy I spoke with was decidedly not helpful, and I got handed off YET AGAIN to his assistant's voice mail, the assistant who as has been previously determined does not apparently ANSWER his voice mail.
I am mad enough about this that if I weren't already exhausted, not to mention at work, I would scream. Given that I was told that I should be able to have the goddamned brace off at the 6 week mark, and given that I have begun to have the tiniest of indications that the nerve is just stretched or bruised rather than broken, my damn arm will possibly be healed by the time they get off the asses and agree to see me. And I really don't want this brace on one minute longer than is medically necessary.
Does anyone know of any facilities in the Seattle area where I can get some care that doesn't suck, or at the very least timely and useful information? It is not helping me in the slightest to be told that this or this might be wrong with my arm and then have to wait FOUR FUCKING WEEKS to find out for sure.
Especially since the nimrods in the X-ray room at the U-dub Medical Center were the ones who fucked up my nerve in the first place. :
