Been trying to schedule surgery for over a year now…
I can honestly say that i have never had to deal with a medical facility of any sort that is so disorganized, inept and also completely unconcerned with the patients experience. I can’t believe that this facility would still be in business were it not for the life-sustaining mainline of taxpayer funding funneled into USC/MUSC through a state legislature that is itself, rife with cronyism, nepotism and graft.
The lack of data management, case management, professional courtesy and common sense should thoroughly alarm any patient who may be considering allowing the exposure of their body to the care of this ill-functioning, careless and self-important institution.
South Carolina needs to awaken to the realization that the mediocrity in medical services that we are subject to is of our own creation and will only be relieved when we stop paying homage to the university system that drains this state of funding and returns the bare minimum in services while filling the pockets of directors, administrators, board members and affiliate CEOs.
Stop holding the hand that holds you down South Carolina.

Be carful at the present time [2019] if two departments or two doctors have to coordinate your treatment. My wife has had a terrible time due to the fact they don’t communicate with one another or with the patient. Thank goodness for the wonderful Staff which tries to chase the doctors. What was it? 1] Failure to follow up when one group was to get the other to call for an appointment. Finally, after several weeks of no word, my wife had to go in and demand an appointment. Various excuses. 2] After this appointment, an operation was scheduled. We showed up. No operation. Didn’t you get our call? No one called. The second doctor had not done his work. 3] When will his work be done? Shrugs. Silence for days. Again, with the help of staff, the operating doctor said come for an exam. What? Thousands have already been paid for tests, x-rays. When will the second doctor be ready? Silence. We have been advised that a private group never has this sort of “administrative disability” nor fails to communicate with the patient in an open manner. Will the actual medical work be good? We assume so. If it ever happens.

Let me start off by expressing I understand that’s a SCHOOL. I’m completely aware that none of the students are supposed to advice, recommend, or “Get the ball rolling” on any procedures before speaking to an instructor.
That’s didn’t happen with me. By the time the instructor finally showed up in the room the student had me scheduled for emergency surgery.
According to him I had to have half of my jaw removed from the left side because of a mass that looked cancerous. I’m not kidding.
It needed to be done immediately that it looked really really bad according to the STUDENT.
The instructor came in, requested a new set of pics be taken. He asked me to remove my earrings.
The photo came back clean. The dangerous cancerous mass was my earring.
WOW
