Why are stupid people in charge?

I can't take this any more. I am near tears.

The ongoing saga of my foot will not end.

So, they need to do a ct scan to confirm that I have a bone infection and also to know how to cut it out. I'm sure it's not every bone and probably not the whole bone so they have to be careful. The specialists have been pretty nice and on top of things so I hate that part of my frustration gets taken out on them.

They don't do PICC lines or CT scans at the specialists office, they outsource to the hospital. Now, in order for me to go to the hospital I need another referral. Humana will not take a referral from them, it has to go through my primary care quack (I refuse to call her a doctor from here on out).

So, the specialists call my quack and put in a request for me to go to the hospital so I can get the PICC line so I can get the much needed IV antibiotics and CT scan. Today the specialists receives a referral for me to visit their office. The referral I already had. Not the referral to the hospital for what I need. When I call the PCP they have no record of any request for a referral to the hospital. I am in agony. I am about to bite off my own foot. What do I do? Do I show up to the PCP tomorrow and demand action. That could work against me. Is there anyone I can go to for help? If the doctor would have listened to me the first time, things wouldn't have progressed this far. I am hurt, I am mad, and I am very sad. Picture a depressed onion cutting itself, that's how sad I am. Hopefully I will go to sleep and never wake up and not have to be in pain any longer.
