The thing that gets me is, my PCP put me down for a full sleep study, like the in-lab with the electrodes and what have you. And this neuro who has legitimately never met me, for whom I had never even done a single intake questionnaire?
He saw my weight on my referral and CHANGED me to a sleep apnea test confirmation exam.
Had he met me, asked a single question, given me a single form, I would have explained in great detail all the reasons why while I would love for it to be sleep apnea--one of the easier to disagnose and better understood sleep disorders that, critically, is widely covered by insurance--that's almost impossible in my case!
But he did not ask!
He just!!! Decided!!!!
So now I get to wait for this confirmation exam to come back negative (which it undoubtedly will), and then I get to wait a few MORE months for him and his over-booked schedule to have a SECOND opening to see me, and THEN I will get to explain and THEN I will get the lab that my PCP put in me for in the first goddamn place.
Like, I'm honestly furious about this, or I would be if I had the energy, but mostly I'm just tired.
