    Dr. Borno ordered a blood transfusion then an MRI when I mentioned my overall rising fatigue and difficulty raising my legs into my auto. The transfusion occurred promptly. I feel I have more energy and breath. Awaiting MRI following instructions to avoid burden on vertebrae and monitoring symptoms that may indicate a further vertebrae deformity

    Details about who will do what by when are often vague. I have had to message the provider's team to get information in this or to get it done.
    Oct 01, 2021
    I usually send my provider a list of items that I want to discuss. This makes it easier for both of us to be on the same page during our encounter.
