I honestly think it's based on the pdoc. The one I have now makes critical mistake after critical mistake. He gives me a lot of room to start/stop/change my meds however, but part of me thinks that is just his laziness. I'm only seeing him still because I have medicaid. After my husband is at his job for 90 days we will have normal insurance and after that I am definetly changing pdocs.
The pdoc I had before him was entirely different. She was amicable, thorough, loving, diligent, and flexible. I could go on and on. She would see me every week on the occasions that I was very unwell. She saw me on average every two weeks. She clued my family when it was necessary. She took phone calls I made her seriously and ALWAYS got back to me within a few hours. Unfortunately she practices 1 1/2 hours away now.
