I've even had cortisone injections in my back. In fact, I need to call my doctor on Monday and schedule another one. But they only work for about a month. And my doctor doesn't want me to get those injections more than once every 4 months. So, I end up going for three months without the benefit of the shots.
I just had an MRI a couple of weeks ago too. But my doctor hasn't received the results from the hospital yet. He told me to call him on Monday. Something got screwed up. He should have seen the results by now. They can be slower than the seven year itch over at that hospital. I don't like Community Hospital very much, but that's the hospital I go because I work for them. The hospital is just too big. They have 3 hospitals in Indianapolis, plus another one in Anderson. They also have many out patient offices, mental health centers (Gallahue, where I work) cardiac centers and several oncology buildings scattered around town. I prefer St. Vincent's, but I haven't walked back in that hospital since Mom died there in 2003. Besides I get huge discounts and fringe benefits if I am treated at CHI.
