No one I spoke with knows why she suddenly left, except that my T had a idea (possible conflict with the higher-ups). 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.

Oh Beth I am so sorry that your Pdoc has left.. I recently lost mine but it was due to his health. I hope you get a letter from your Pdoc wishing you well or something.
DO's are medical Doctors, basically like a GP they kind of treat a patient overall. They "usually" are also up to date with more holistic ways to help a patient, which that I think can be very good for "some" health problems. There is a huge shortage of GP's in the country as many MD's know they can make better money as a specialist.. I hope that your next provider is a good fit
I watched the news earlier and saw the aftermath of the fire just wiping a town off the map
I just cant even imagine
