Patient
I am currently waiting in the cardiac cath lab for my stress echo to be done. I had my 3 echos and my heart monitors are on along w/the blood pressure cuff on. The only thing is that I'm now waiting for a physician. I checked in at 1:15 pm, all my preliminaries were completed and now I discover that the physician who was to oversee my stress test is now in the middle of an ablation procedure.. I'm wondering whether this was the only physician available today to oversee my echo stress test. Where are the other available PAs and physicians that could oversee this test? There was no ETA given when the physician would complete the procedure, and be available to oversee my test. I'm concerned about the lack of coordination and time mgmt by this department. I should have stayed with my primary care doctor at Wake Internal Medicine who has everything in-house.
