Clicks now \referring doctor"what next?"""
My husband S takes Warfarin. The monthly INR readings and doseage adjustments are crucial, and need to be very carefully conveyed to the patient PATHCARE is obviously qualified to do this. Discovery pays for the blood tests until MSA depleted. Then I discovered ,QUITE BY CHANCE, when enquiring why latest Pathcare account declined, he has to go to one of three pharmacy chains to have the blood extracted. This is then sent to the selfsame Pathcare for testing. Pathcare has to send the results to Clicks who is then supposed to inform us. This is simi**** to the chinese telephone game whereby the ultimate person receives an amusing garbled message.<br> There is nothing FUNNY about possibly *****ing up life saving/threatening data.<br> S is elderly, has only 30 percent heart function and is being treated for a brain tumour.<br> The relevant pharm. is an unairconditioned, grubby little hole with queues coming out of the door.<br> <br> There is no doctor involved, S only visits Cardiologist annually.<br> Was informed that Clicks now becomes \referring doctor"<br> For this privilege we pay Discovery R7200.00 per month."""
