@S4PM 1) A patient with multiple comorbidities has been in & out of the hospital w/what now has been diagnosed as advanced congestive heart failure. At about 5 pm yesterday (Fri), patient & family were told to seek a 2nd opinion asap. Told patient being discharged today. #UnblockHealth
@S4PM 2) The urgent 2nd opinion is to see if the patient is a candidate for a particular procedure. If not, #hospice. Appt can’t be scheduled until ALL records & images on CD are received & reviewed by the 2nd opinion dr’s office (at another hospital, in another state.) #UnblockHealth
