Update on Ken

Hi everyone,
Ken's results from the biopsy of the Temporal Artery that was done on Wednesday were supposed to be in yesterday but as usual, this crappy medical system int his country strikes again. His primary care doctor wasn't "around" yesterday so therefore no one could get the results of the biospy. We called the vascular surgeon & his office said that the results only go to the primary. We called the primary's office back & asked if they coulkd reach the primary to call & find out the results & then call Ken with the results but they said the doctor "can't be reached"! What the heck. He is at risk for blindness or death from a brain hemmorhage, yet was told he has to wait now until Monday for the results of the biospy. In the meantime he is in terrible pain from the headaches.
His first visit to the doctor to address these headaches was Tuesday & I think it is unconscionable to let someone with a life threatening illness wait almost a week for results & also pain relief since they said it was an emergency. I think his primary doctor could have picked up a phone Friday & gotten the results for Ken. I wanted Ken to go to the emergency room & demand treatment last night, but he wouldn't. He will be changing doctors though as soon as this crisis is resolved.
Thank you all for your support, positive energy & prayers. Love & peace to all, Linda
