State of the confusion

This is not an article on the State of the Union Address that I have on the TV now. It is more a statement on health care. I realize that hospitals need to cut costs but this is ridiculous. This morning I was woke by my doctor at 6AM and told they were going to do an MRI on me to make sure that the Gall Bladder did not leave anything behind when it came out. It is now almost 8:30 PM and I sit in the hospital. I do not understand this at all. Even the Doctor got upset. But even him raising hell with the MRI people did not get them up here to take care of me. Now, I realize I am not there and do not know what the people are going through but there is a thing called communications. The is none. I understand that this is the normal state of things at this hospital, and they bill themselves as one of the 'premier' hospitals in Tulsa. I am not sure what that means. If it sounds like I am angry, I am not. Anger will do no good in this situation and only make me feel sicker. I do need answers soon and it looks like I will not get them.
