the new doctor sounds like a good fit from what you tell us of him. as for making the break with the old? it is very thoughful that you want to express your gratitude to him for all he has seen you through. but.......mad? don't take on responsibility for his feelings in addition to your own!! from what you described it sounds like he'd be happy to see you doing whatever was needed to promote good health for you.

as for this statement from you</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
I think I would like to get rid of a patient that was that complicated too......in reality, my problems are probably way too time consuming.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> do you really think you can say that and get away with it?! human beings are complicated things!! so what if your medical issues are ones that take time? you're worth it!!

like Jan said please let us know what your decision is and how it goes.
