madisgram I'm sorry to hear that you are having such a terrible ordeal. I feel that once doctor's receive their coats and diplomas their compassion is replaced for the greed of money.

I would say that if you are feeling that you need help (ie,. hospital), go to a regular hospital. They have to treat you. If they contact your Pdoc and he is unresponsive at least you will have the doctors at the hospital to look out for your best interests.

On another note, if your Pdoc is not willing to get involved while you are going through such a terrible time, I wouldn't wait till November to change doctors. If you go to the hospital maybe they can give you a referral to someone else in order to get you in quicker? Just a thought.
