Yesterday afternoon the realities of humanism, mortality, and fear attempted to take me out for about the one millionth time in my life. A phone call came from a loved one casually explaining that the doctor had potentially discovered a problem that needed further examination. When the office called for an appointment to have the scan done, they were told that it would be approximately a week before there was an opening in the schedule.
As an insider, I knew that a certain number of slots were held each day for emergency or unscheduled procedures. Not unlike the hotel that holds back a room or two from the 1-800 reservation list, just in case a preferred guest or luminary comes through the doors, flexibility is something that hospitals have to embrace at some level.
Once again, as an insider, a call to the department resulted in an immediate invitation to come in for the test the very next day.
My route to health care management was a particularly unique and circuitous route, and it left me asking the question, “why does it have to be this way?” I’ve personally done everything that I can to make it humane, patient centered, and sensitive.
If you or your loved one wants to know the inside story on how hospitals work, take a look at my new book, “Taking the Hell out of Healthcare.” It really can help. It is a simple “how to” book aimed at the everyday person who is having to deal with this complex and sometimes difficult world of health care.
My passion and personal commitment has always been to patient advocacy, transparency, and human kindness. Find out how to make the system work for you.
