Make Medicine Better

My physician recently ordered iron injections to assist in raising my hemoglobin levels which are critically low. He said I will feel much better after these injections. When I tried to schedule these injections, it took four days before I could talk to a scheduler. No one returned my message phone calls. As it is, I cannot get my first injection until March 23, which is 19 days away, because there is only one person in the 5th floor Siteman center who does these injections, and she only works Mon, Tues, and Wed. The person who answered the phone was reluctant to put me on the schedule and told me I had to wait until Monday to talk to the person who gives the injections. If I had waited until Monday to get on her schedule, who knows how long I would have had to wait because someone else would have taken up an appointment time in the meantime. She only does 4 people per day!! I would think that there are enough PRN nurses that could be called in, when people need these injections so we don’t have to wait 20 days before we can start feeling better. As it is, I am physically tired, I am always chilled, and I cannot conduct myself in the normal workday that I need to. There should be more than one person in your ENTIRE facility that does these injections!!
