a few years ago for the adrenal tumors. I mean, I didn't find it any more of a redtapey/jump through hoops nightmare than anywhere else, I guess? I also went up to University of Chicago this past spring and it wasn't too bad (other than the line for the valet parking..whoa)

Without a computer, it is much tougher to do medical things anymore..they all use the "portal"..but if you refuse they do still call the old school way. My friend and some older people I know refuse the "portal" interaction and while it may take a litle longer, they still get the calls.

My new Pain Clinic Doc who does my spinal injections refuses to use the computer for communication (has no "portal"), and it was wild to hear that! I figured the hospital he is connected with (physically in the building) would make him use it.
