Well, THAT was a Disaster!

My friend Nancy and Eric made great time getting to Gordon Medical. BUT, it was the Nth time we've had communication issues with them. *sigh*

When he got there, he was told - as they were about to draw his blood for the Lyme test - that the lab isn't open until Monday, so his blood would be refrigerated over the weekend. WHAT?! Basically, this would NOT be a good sample for an accurate test!

Next, they had told him that they wanted to do an IV of minerals, that it was standard when they do the IV for the heavy metals provocation. HOWEVER, they did NOT share this with us during our conversation - which was very thorough because we were wanting to know EXACTLY what to expect at this appointment and the cost of each thing.

Anyway, all that driving for just the heavy metals test, and now no Lyme test (though they did send the kit home with Eric).

We are clear - no matter HOW much expertise they may have in "unravelling the mystery of chronic illness" - the people at Gordon Medical lack clear communication, and seem to be quite disorganized (if you knew that the lab was closed until Monday, why have a blood draw even scheduled for a Thursday?). Thus, we will collect our results from them, and move on. We are sincerely hoping for more professionalism from Dr. Osborne next Wednesday and Thursday. I will say that her assistant was very thorough when we scheduled the sessions yesterday. *fingers crossed*

As it took a MONTH to even get in for our initial appointment at GMA, we are highly discouraged we lost so much time!!! Eric is slipping fast!
