Right now, I'm almost in tears.
First of all, I'm building a legal case with a facility for deleting something out of my medical file in their system without my permission. The item was one of my WPATH letters.
I'm also dealing with a serious lack of confidence in the Surgeon that was going to perform my SRS. This is what is weighing on my mind the most at the moment.
I had my initial consult back at the beginning of February early this year.
At my initial consult, I expressed my desire to do this at the end of this Month; and this was back in February. I was assured that this wouldn't be a problem.
Ever since, I have had phone tag issues with his office. His office won't call you back like they tell you.
Back in August, I FINALLY get through to his office to be told he hasn't even written up the surgical orders. I was given a date three weeks later, which was this past Monday, to call back. At this time, I expressed a willingness to work with the date of November 6th.
I did express a flexable willingness to be open to other dates and I was politely informed that he doesn't have the staffing to even perform this procedure and they don't know even when they would even have the staffing for a GRS.
I'm calling the LGBT Care center that refered me to Dr. Whitehead early tomorrow and ask them for two or three more referrals other than Dr. Whitehead.
