The Call...and Unexpected Outcome

Well, I was just thrown for a loop. I finally spoke with my doctor's office. Completely didn't see this scenario happening. Instead of being told they were working on the appt with the neurologist, I was told they could not refer me because my insuranance is a PPO (yes I'm in the medical field but still have no idea what that means) and they aren't a primary physician and I'm not pregnant. So, she recommended I call one of the neurologists to see if they required a referral to see if I would need to find a primary doctor. So, I texted my dad to see what the heck I do. How do you look at a list of neurologists who are in your network and decide, "Oh, hey, I think this one has a cool name". I mean, really. My dad's neurologist is not in my network, otherwise I'd ask my dad if he would mind me seeing him as well. I totally did not see this bombshell coming. And, it only means it will be that much more of a waiting game until all this is figured out. That's what I truly hate more than anything right now!!!
