After rescuing him from Fla. where he was getting no care and the first Dr. I took him to nearly killing him and his winding up in the hospital and being assigned a very capable and kind doctor that we immediately signed on with and who brought him back to the living - phycially & mentally, only to be thrown back into the pool because they had changed the rules. And don't even get me started on the doctors in the nursing homes. Luckily I saved him from being wrongly medicated when he was looking at the wrong "last admission" list of meds. well time for me to hit the sack, i have to see my doctor tmrrw. :( I hate hospitalists as well; my father was assigned one and I was fit to be tied when i was told that the kid that looked like my son was my now my father’s doctor.

First, the important stuff. You not only need, you HAVE to keep that Doc appointment tomorrow. If you don't like him then Just call and go to a different one, but first, you need to get your HTN medicine "tomorrow!" You will make it through this one appointment. You don't have to worry about any of the other ones, but you have to go tomorrow. I hope you know I am saying that because I care about you. This idea that you are so intimidated in front of doctor's is what gets me. You talk to them here, like it is second nature. I'am the opposit of you. I am more doctor shy online, than I am in real. If it helps you to write things down, then do it that way. Just walk in and hand him a list. I will be thinking of you tomorrow, and hoping, that you do what you know you have to do. I will look for an update...:) Take care my friend! Moof….I am totally floored by what you just said. First, the important stuff. You not only need, you HAVE to keep that Doc appointment tomorrow.

For awhile I thought you'll not look for a new doctor. And I'm glad they were able to squeeze you in earlier. Don't forsake your health. Kindly ask if the doctor has IM, Twitter, email, blog, phone number [txt msg.] so you'll easily communicate with him without talking. :) Am serious though. Have a nice day at the new clinic and hope you'll find a good doctor. And...happy birthday to your husband dearie! {{hugs}} Hey Moofie, you can do it!

I hope you get a chance to see this.... There haven't been any comments from any of your doctor friends before me. So I guess I have to be 'it.' Here goes... 1) You have to keep the appointment with your new doctor today. No excuses. 2) You need the HT medication more than you need a good doctor. 3) You don't have to like or love your doctor. He is there to provide you a service. If you are not satisfied with the said service leave him otherwise stick to the guy even if you aren't very comfortable. 4) Some of your non-doctor friends may not agree with this. "You need your HT & UTI looked after and brought under control more than the new doctor needs another troublesome patient." Sorry if that came out sounding a bit harsh. I'll watch your blog for the next couple of days to see what you did. Good Luck. Don't Chicken out. It is probably about 9 AM your time now on Monday. I hope you get a chance to see this….

In terms of finding the right doctor, it sounds like there aren't that many to chose from... MDs come in all shapes and sizes, and you should definitely "shop around" to find someone that you work well with. I'm a firm believer that faith in the patient-physician relationship is just as important as what kinds of medications/treatment you get from the person. But while you physician shop, just get a temporary one that can keep you supplied and under some form of medical care until you find the right one... Here's wishing you find a good one soon!! :) Hi Moof - Vijay is right - you need the blood pressure meds and need to treat the UTI!

I have my own issues with doctors, after a few dreadful experiences with doctors, dentists, and with the vets I brought my cats to. So I can understand, but if you have any type of kidney problems, you can't afford to stay away from a doctor. Not to mention the other problems. I hate to add to your stress level, but in case this matters to you - look at your first comment under this post. I do believe you've been "scraped", and I saved the URL in case they spot this warning and pull the link down. [http://copyright.inventionanswers.com/?p=3743] Moof, I hope it went well.
