“This was a post ED visit appoint...”
This was a post ED visit appointment. I was struggling to understand what was happening to my body and the next steps in treatment. I began asking questions and was told to discuss it with the cardiologist at my future appointment. At the time my appointment was 7 weeks away and no one had discussed my medical case with me yet. I have no idea what is going on or what to expect with my case. Only through my own advocacy and persistence was I able to get in and see a general cardio list sooner. I received no advocacy, support or understanding from Dr Ruggle. I left the appointment feeling more lost than when I had arrived.
