Good Old Technology
Here's how things have progressed since my last meeting with the oncologist.
Oncologist calls on Tuesday morning
"so were you able to pick up the CD-ROM with the scan images and bring it down?"
FM - "er, no, was I supposed to? No one ever told me anything about this, I guess I can go now"
Oncologist: "OK - great, I need them by midmorning tomorrow so we can discuss them at tumor board"
Tuesday 11:30AM: FM calls regular OB office to ask who has a copy of these images and leave a message indicating that I need to pick up a CD
Tuesday 11:50: OB office calls saying that they called the University Hospital library and that they will mail me a copy ASAP. FM explaining that this copy needs to be at Stanford tomorrow morning so that this won't work.
Tuesday 11:55: FM leaving a message at the University Hospital library
Tuesday 12:10: University Hospital library calling, saying that they haven't mailed it and that they will call me when I can go pick it up, their CD burner is acting up and they can't get anything through
Tuesday 3:20: University Hospital library calls and says that CD is ready
Tuesday 3:45: FM picks up the CD
Tuesday 8:00: Colleague picks up CD at FM's place
Wednesday sometime in the morning. Colleague delivers CD at Oncologist #2's office...
