Dear kazoo,
I feel for you. Most hospitals and medical centers in the US have patient representatives or liasion type officers to help get these types of complex problems addressed. Their goal is patient satisfaction. I suggest you contact this person at UCONN and ask for their assistance. If they can't help you at least they should know who can. I agree with others here that say you need a primary care doc that is willing to be your advocate and be in communication with the other team members - coordinate your care with specialists and make sure you get appropriate care. Everyone needs a personal physician - especially when sick. Now I'll get off my soapbox.
Praying for you (seriously).Chris A.
