My former pdoc must be at least 65, so I don't know where she'll go next - if anywhere.
Fortunately, my meds are keeping me quite stable at this time. I hope the new person won't tamper with anything. By the way, does anyone know what a "D.O." is  A doctor of....??????
I'm feeling pretty let down, because my pdoc never even contacted me. We had a strong connection; maybe she'll send a letter.
In other news the smoke rolled in today from one of the wildfires north of here. Every late summer for the past few years it's the same ...horrific fires. Back in May, it was when we were driving through hours of burned-out mountains that I started feeling anxious, which ended up in almost constant panic, basically a breakdown, and a major med raise a few weeks later.

I'm sorry your pdoc has left. I dread that day.
DO is doctor of osteopathy. In my experience they tend to be more holistic and willing to work with the patient. (Others may have different experiences of course). I prefer them and see them as often as I can. Both my pdoc and family doctor are DOs and both have been my doctor for over 15 years.
