I have been fighting with UCLA Healthcare this time over an MRI. I had seen my Primary care doctor who is a rheumatolgist because of knee problem,. She did an xray and said my knee was not tracking properly and it was causing pain. We tried PT and when that didn't work she suggested an MRI. That referral was expedited yesterday because when I went to stand at lunch I screamed in pain and couldn't get up. Got home and then I couldn't use bathroom because I couldn't get up from there. I ended up in the ER and they said get MRI ASAP. I can't get referral according to UCLA Healthcare until I go to the doctor. Yesterday they wanted me to go to Primary now they are insisting I go to ortho guy. Wouldn't it better for ortho guy to know what he's looking at instead of wasting my time to have to go there, get MRI and go back. That's three things, rather than 2. Not only are they wasting my time, I am taking up time that another patient could have. I have decided that I am done. I will let this knee go and then when they have to fix it, they will spend more money to do it. I don't care anymore. I just heard another person is having similar problems over her wrist with UCLA.
