Anyway a good doctor is worth their weight in gold, find one you trust and never let go BUT also do your research and question everything they say because nobody's perfect. A really good doctor will acknowledge their own deficiencies and listen. A bad one will ignore you and write a script without worrying about what's really going on.
My Gastro helped pioneer the fiber optics for colon screens. But not really a great area for the best doctors who want big bucks. Memphis is a 2 hr round trip drive from us. Our little berg has 1 GP, 1 PED, 2 Physios 1 Ped Dentist NO adult one. Cardio comes in half a day 1 day a week for minor stuff. Hospitals suck.
Have to say the Specialist I see are great, I have more issues with the Internist Primary. Their education level is not all that great, watch watchers, don’t have the education for handling a Multi health patient. Had 1 but he was forced to retire because of his health. Next 1 was I don’t give a crap, not sure what this new last 1 is like I got a 10 min visit and lab work. Idiot called said to stop my D3 as it was .3 tenths over the high limit. My ENDO would laugh at that. Then he started on the Cholesterol DUH 5 reactions and you want me to try another? NO THANKS. With GP your Tris are always high. LDL is borderline at best. HDL is real high 75/85.
