I'm so sorry for what you're going through! Cancer is difficult in the best of times, and I can't imagine fighting it during this mess. It sounds so frustrating and exhausting, with COVID just making it harder.
I live near Seattle and have been to Harborview a couple of times before. I would agree that the doctors and nurses there are decent (though I'm always wary of allopathic medicine tbh), but the other staff has always been shitty. The front desk workers and receptionists in particular. They were on a power trip before the pandemic so I can't imagine what they're like now. Case in point, I was forced to reschedule an appointment once I was already there because my driver's license was ONE DAY expired so it wasn't considered a "valid ID." Because it was a last minute cancellation, I also had to pay a cancelled appointment fee. I didn't pay that fee for like two or three years but collections finally wore me down but that was the last time I went to Harborview. All because of the horrible staff and not because of the doctors and nurses.
I wish you a speedy recovery and I pray you will get healthy again. Keep fighting my friend and don't let the b.s. system get you down!
