Why?

"Why...?" is what Peter asked me tonight. "Why did it take them so long to find out what was wrong?" "Why was there no communication between my doctors?" "Why did I have to go through all of that?" How can you answer those questions? In the past fifty four days he has been referred from his GP to a Specialist Physician to a Neurosurgeon to a Cardiologist to a Cardio Surgeon and back again to his Cardiologist. Yet they don't seem to keep each other informed on their patient's progress or problems ... Why? Ronnie took Peter back to his GP today to see what could be done about his arm injury (the one that he got when he collapsed on Saturday). Peter asked his GP this very same question ... his GP also couldn't answer him! In today's day and age of instant information sharing and communication technology how hard can it be? I want to scream at someone (to put it mildly) but where to start ... that's the question?
