Re: Doctors

Kate, my cardiologist was an internist before he became a cardiologist, but
he won't prescribe for anything except the heart now. One reason is that he
is on call for any serious emergency heart surgery in two hospitals in town.
Guess that's what you get for being about the best in town. However, he is
the one who found my lung problem and sent me to a pulmonary specialist.

I am really hoping that my cardiologist will have someone in mind when I
see
him Monday. He suggested my present lung doctor, and I could not be more
pleased with him.

((((((((gwen)))))))i find the task of locating a new doctor, for myself,
tedious and discouraging. but, i've been thinking about this dilemma you
find yourself in, with respect to finding a new gp. maybe asking your
current doctors which one of them also has a specialty in internal
medicine
might be the way to go. (most gp's/pcp's i've had were also internists.)
maybe you can double up with just one doctor handling two aspects of your
care? just a thought.

Ann, a gerentologist has an office not too far from me, but he isn't
taking new patients. At my age, I thought that would have been good for
me.

Gwen, I hope you find a great doctor. It's very hard around here to get
a PCP since a few years ago when the two major HMO's here said it was
mandatory to choose a doctor. Folks who hadn't been to a doctor in
years were forced to find one and the patient lists swelled so much that
many offices were, and still are, refusing to accept new patients.
