Submitting info to Surgeon for review
Aug 14th, 2007 at 8:20am
 
Hi all, I need some pointers on gathering and organizing Katie's information for submitting to Dr. Scott for his review.

He is willing to review Katie's information and of course I have none of this from HUP and need to get it asap.  He would like to see her recent MRI's, arteriogram  and a brief clinical history.  Can someone get me pointed in the usual direction for contacting the hospital and getting this?  Do you think the doctors at HUP are willing to write up the clinical history?  Dr. Scott asked me who at HUP had been seeing Katie, would he contact them directly?  I don't see how the HUP doctors would be willing to transfer information quickly and possibly loose a patient to another doctor.   Smiley  Thanks for your support.

Hi Sally -

These are your (or Katie's) records - so, if requested, they must transfer them to you.  You won't have a problem - I picked up copies of my scans right at the hospital.  You would need to call radiology and tell them you want to pick up copies of Katie's scans.  Ask them where the film library is (and what the hours are!).  The studies come with a radiologist's report...make sure it's in there when you pick up the films.  You can probably get a copy of the report faxed to you as well.  (You can even ask if they will send copies of the films and reports to Dr. Scott directly).

As for clinical history - I believe this just means tests that were done and their reports - give them a time line.  I actually kept a diary of sorts - when I saw a doctor, what tests were completed, copies of the test results, and I noted every time I had a TIA (where I was, what was affected - right arm, left arm, etc. - how long it lasted, what I was doing, etc.)

Hope this helps...

-Shari

Yes Shari, that helps. I've gotten in touch with radiology and the cds are on their way, medical records is sending out all that paperwork and I am working on the neurologist for a clinical summary.  We are almost there!
