We couldn't get all of the tests done on Friday because a clerk balked at processing Pace's radiology requests. She is not a Quebec resident, period. It didn't matter that we had the inter-provincial health claim form from the hospitals accounts payable department.
It took nurses from the ambulatory clinic to came over to her and say it was authorized. The clerk had never heard of it before and there was no way she was going to let someone have a free ride on her watch. As a result we missed the window to get the lung x-ray completed.
So back we went to the hospital today. Another half day lost for 20 minutes of tests.
They've now scheduled an EEG for Wed. morning at 8:00. It's early but people have been moving mountains to help Pace get treated.
Later Wednesday morning (Dec. 15th)we meet with the oncology surgeon. After that meeting we should know where we really stand and what Pace's options. I'm glad we're getting to that stage but the area around her tumor is starting to hurt...
