I went to the doctor to have him write me a letter stating the reasons I would be a good candidate for WLS. I thought it would look better if I included this along with the other information I would be faxing over to the insurance company. For the first time my doctor made me feel comfortable. He asked questions to make sure everything I wanted in the letter was placed in it. But, I guess it was more difficult that I imagined.

Anyway this is the letter.

She is a patient in our office for many years. She has been treated For depression, elevated blood pressure and morbid obesity. Her BMI 52 she tried Different diet for at least 10yrs unsussefully. She has a family history of D.M. and HTN. I believe she is a good candidate for periatric surgery. Any questions pleace Contact my Office. Thank you.

This is EXACTLY word from WORD how it was typed. Even down to the placement of capital letters.

Not only does this letter make no sense. But, it lists Periatric surgery. Periatric surgery does NOT exist. Did anyone proof read the letter before giving it to me? I don't think so!

Now I have to wait until Friday to pick a new letter up.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Sorry but I had to laugh! As I was reading this, I was thinking crazyinlove was typing too fast. Then when you said word for word what they wrote I had to LOL!

Spell checker anyone?

I really wish I could of said that it was MY error. I really do! It's just awful that someone didn't even bother to proof read it. Especially since it's obviously from a doctors office.

All I can say is...that letter is a hot mess!

WOW!!! That's really sad. Here's to good luck on your new letter hopefully this one has been proof-read:laugh:
