I am SO MAD!

The nurse just called from my Dr's office and said the Hospital says I did not have an EKG done! They went so far to say that sometimes patients think they have tests but they don't!

I now have to take time out of my schedule because THEY LOST my EKG! I know I had an EKG, I sat in a little room, had quite a few leads hooked up to me, they printed out a piece of paper about a foot long with squiggly lines all over it and she said, Your EKG looks really good! SO YES I had an EKG you IDIOTS!

I paid for these services already & they better not even think about charging me again for them!

WOW am I livid! Someone will probably get their ass chewed out today!

OK thanks for listening, I had to vent! What really made me mad was them making it sound like I didn't know what I was talking about, that I didn't know what an EKG was and that I had no had one! That is what pisses me off!

I know... I hope both of ours get straightened out...

* positive thoughts *

I did give them the date. They say it wasn't done. I have a receipt bc I'm a cash pay patient, so I've PAID for this test! I will not pay again. Their screw up not mine!

Make sure you always get a receipt. Whenever I pay in cash they pull out the book and hand write one.

Keep yelling because they should still have a record of you being there at that time and why. Medical professionals have to account for every patient they see and detail what was done. They must have something there. You just need to keep pushing them to find it.

I ended up having to get another one. They know I was there, and had it done. I dealt with a completely different group of people this time with the EKG and they were very competent and she had them my EKG the same day! It was very refreshing knowing nothing else would go wrong!

I kept my receipts where I paid, believe me! Lol

How does a hospital just "lose" an EKG? . Incompentence at it's highest level!!! LOL. I would be pretty upset as well. Especially if it pushed my possible surgery date back. I hope all is well now man. Good luck to you.

Hey Jonathan ..do you have your EOB from your insurance provider showing they paid for the service? If so, I would let them know they could find the test results from the date of service the insurance was billed for it or they could redo it for free!

Agh never mind..saw where you are private pay..always get a receipt with written details of services you received that day when you pay with cash! You never know who is honest and who isn't!

That totally $ux! I would be Soooo Fuming myself if that happened to me, I'm so sorry to hear that especially when you had to pay for them I know these test cost a bundle. If you have a receipt than the doctor you had the EKG with should have a copy? My doctor keep a copy for my file as well as sent one to my bariatric doctor/anestesiologist. I hope this works out for you!

Best Wishes

Grrrrr. Glad to hear that the second tester got it right and sent your EKG over. I would've been fuming too. We take a lot of time to get all of these tests done and to have to back track and take them again would piss me off. Then to be talked down to like I don't know what I'm talking about would've sent me over the edge.

That's exactly what made me angry! Don't try to tell me idk what medical tests I've had! I know! I was there for crying out loud!

It's taken care of so that's all that matters now!

ROTFLMAO!!!!! OMG This is hilarious!!!! Not the scenario. But you being so upset. I especially loved when you said... and I quote... "somebody is going to get their ass chewed out today"!!!! Bwahahahahaha. I'm sure it'll work itself out. I was upset the other day because I was 7 days away from surgery and the hospital called me talking about they want to do an EKG and they want a letter from my PCP doctor saying she gave me a pre-op physical... SAY WHAT!!!? I was never told either one of those were a requirement for me beforehand and now 1 week before surgery you want to call me with that BS and think I'm supposed to schedule appointments at the last minute!!? NOT HAPPENING!!! Luckily, I already had an EKG done in January so I faxed a copy to them and I told them I would not be going to my PCP. So they said they will use the last visit with my surgeon as a pre-op physical. Fine with me!!! Moving right along. So yes, sometimes these people are incompetent. But stuff happens. I also ask for a copy of my records the day of. Next time just make them print out your EKG's and you take a copy with you. I'm sure it'll work itself out. Don't make your blood pressure rise. But, trust, I know how you feel!!
