Every time I go for a Oncology visit of any kind, I have to fill out this stupid form to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 how I’m feeling. . ..pain, discomfort, anxiousness, depression, etc. It is the stupidest thing. Then the nurse who does the initial intake, takes all this data and enters it. There is never any feedback.
On every form I put my depression at between a 7 and a 9. Never a word about it. What good is the form if it doesn’t trigger a response. I am actually thinking about refusing to fill it in next time and see what they say.
