I wish I could find you a doctor that cared. My husband has had two different wound care specialists and both have been great. The first one retired and the second one was the previous one's assistant until she finished school. We had trouble with doctors and just this year we found a doctor that really listens to my husband. His previous doctor had been treating him for a few years with no explanation for why his legs swelled and why he kept passing kidney stones. She didn't seem too concerned. She would have him come in every three months for blood tests ( he has diabetes, and copd). A few months ago, he went to his appointment but the doctor was called out on a family emergency. Her nurse listened to my husband and then turned around and made an appointment with a specialist on the urinary tract. The doctor wasn't happy with this. To make a long story short, the nurse ended up quitting. My husband swapped doctors with his wound care specialist help. We found out that my husband has been suffering from urinary poisoning all these years, hence the swelling in the legs and the kidney stones. My husband is still scratching and picking his sores, but the wound care specialist gave us medicine to put on them to nip things in the bud. At least she is treating him no matter how bad he is.
Hey, if you lived near Louisiana, maybe I could help you find a good doctor. Just a thought.
