1 /5 Erin Powers: I am so upset! My mother, who is elderly and has health problems, was in the hospital last month. She has been trying to follow up with her doctor - which is usually procedure - to no avail. They will not see her until SEPTEMBER. I will have quite a lawsuit should something happen to her! They offered a "virtual" visit as the Doctor is sick. I know there are other health professionals in the office, why can she not see one of them? I would think being in the hospital would warrant an in house visit to check vitals, review labs, etc. It used to be, when one went into the hospital, the doctor would immediately follow up with the patient. My daughters pediatrician still does. Small blessings. This really is unheard of and something needs to change. Our quality of life is being affected and it is utterly disgusting.
