I was such a nervous wreck the day I stumbled into that Nuclear Medicine area, just desperate to know the answer to ONE question. - DO YOU USE LIDOCAINE FOR THIS INJECTION PROCEDURE? That's ALL I wanted to know. "Springing the question" on poor Barry, (who I kind of "ambushed" in the hallway), was not likely the best or fairest way to do it, in retrospect, but I couldn't think of ANY other way to find out! Thankfully, he was kind, considerate and took time to "give it to me straight!" I think the receptionist was just very busy and had more important things to do, than listen to me whine, but I'm really sorry to hear of these other stories. I don't think people who work there all the time, understand how scary it is to walk INTO that place. All the best to those who have responded to me here!<br />ElaineElaine Loringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436630681548630390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396703737778738342.post-15067470532591779392011-05-03T18:00:51.564-04:002011-05-03T18:00:51.564-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Elaine Loringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436630681548630390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396703737778738342.post-74750501099917413102011-05-01T22:19:45.204-04:002011-05-01T22:19:45.204-04:00I agree about that nasty receptionist @ Mt.

She had me in tears one day because I stood at the counter, waiting to check in while she was on a personal phone call about what was for dinner that evening. She actually said I was inconsiderate for not taking a seat until she finished her phone call about a personal matter. Could not believe what was happening but was so scared about my procedure, I just cried like a baby and apologised to her. I'm stronger now and look forward to writing her boss a letter detailing how she treated me.This woman should not be working in a hospital environment where sick people need all the compassion they can get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396703737778738342.post-26034127096710051312011-05-01T06:57:07.884-04:002011-05-01T06:57:07.884-04:00Really?

In speaking with other patients, that's the way she is everyday to patients. Many of us have complained, but amazingly she's still there. She sure knows how to turn on the charm for her bosses and the Doctors. I'm going to secretly film her on my phone and show it to H.R. Hopefully then she will get a pink slip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
