A little O/T - call from doctor

Postby raym » Sun Jun 23, 2013 12:12 pm

I went to see my urologist this past friday. I really don't seem him regularly; he did the uretor stents for my first colon resection and also a bladder scope after I had blood in my urine (due to coumadin). But his office called me a few weeks ago just for a follow up/routine visit. At the appoint friday he said things were fine and he would only call me if there were any issues with PSA. So today (sunday!) my cell phone is ringing and its my urologist..I'm thinking oh sh*t!. But he was quick to say the PSA was fine. He was finishing up my visit summary and did not have the paper trail that said why I came to see him. Whew!!!

I didn't recognize the phone number, or else I would have probably dropped the phone!
