I had my follow-up appointment at the gastroenterology department yesterday. I initially thought the cardiologist covering for them would be in the office, but I underestimated the hospital's ability to adapt. It turns out that because the previous two Fridays were holidays, only one consultation room was open for each session this week. However, the doctor for the gastroenterology room was on leave, so they combined gastroenterology with cardiology. What's impressive is that the check-in system could handle one room seeing patients for two departments. The programmers are truly amazing. After my consultation, I told the doctor, "Although I know I'm here for gastroenterology today, I still want to report to the head physician that my blood pressure has been so low lately that I feel dizzy." The doctor immediately reviewed all my medications and identified which ones were affecting my blood pressure. They suggested that at my next appointment, I should ask my regular doctor to stop those medications and have them prescribe any necessary ones instead. Finally, my cardiologist agreed to prescribe the gallstone medication I need from the gastroenterology department in the future. This means I won't have to visit the gastroenterology department every three months anymore. I'm so happy today.
