medical net

Ever been caught in the medical net?  I am not talking about a safety net. I am talking about the net that leaves you in a tangle without resolution.  It happens in "complex cases". Primary care refers to Oncology, which refers to Cardiology,  who refers to Primary Care, who refers to Oncology,  who refers to Pulmonary, and so on. They all tell you that it doesn't appear to be related to any specific specialty. The symptoms don't align but the symptoms are measurable. Latest thought-Maybe a blood clot? So hurry and wait for imaging referral approval.  Hurry and wait for test. Hurry and wait for results.   Thankfully, I am on oxygen therapy in the meanwhile so I can breathe, move, and think better than the previous 21 days. Meanwhile, I want to garden, to ride my bike, to go and do...but I wait for my body to recover and medical network to uncover. It takes a lot of patience to be a "complex case".
