The fellow and attending acted as if today was the first time they saw my kidney bloodwork,and asked me if I was eating the wrong things. They did not tell me what to expect from the kidney biopsy scheduled Monday, and acted irritated that some other doctor had ordered it. The attending said since the myeloma doctor ordered it, they would talk with me about it.
