I was told the proposed course of treatment, but then asked to call the nurse to get the details. when I called the nurse, I was treated very poorly AND the treatment was different than we discussed. i feel it should be the doctor's responsibility to communicate treatment plans to the nurse and then contact me. I don't think I should have to do the run around to know how to move forward and they should all be on the same page. Clearly, the doctor never notated or communicated to his nurse what we had discussed.
