Every place I called either hung-up on me or told me NO, they did NOT want a sick person as their patient (what is the point of medicine dare I ask?).
Then I heard of this doctor that is quite a long drive for me to go to but I received a call back within 2 hrs. and an offer if an appointment later that same week!
So, even though it is a bit of a drive (about 90 miles R/T), at least I no longer have to live under the auspices of the other doctor I had been going to and no, I don't have to go back in one month or two or three, just when I have a need to go which makes sense to me.
I found out my husband's doctor is retiring soon and he'll be needing a new doctor too and I'll likely take him to this same doctor as he'd mentioned that he knew my husband's doctor is going to retire within the next couple of months so I've got this new doctor lined up for him too!
I'm so glad I found the new doctor. There is a severe shortage where I live. They now drug test people that go into an open door clinic no matter why if you can believe that! The lady from the M.S. support group was telling that they drug tested her husband when he went for treatment of a bladder infection if you can believe that! Yikes indeed and you really do NOT want this on your record!
