Yes, very frustrating. I am medical advocate for my ex who has diabetes, ischemic cardiomyopathy, emphysema from smoking. Phoenix is building a medical school and Mayo here is expanding, but it is going to take at least 5 years to have decent medical facilities here. Meanwhile it's little old me with only my degree in library science to rely on. We have a good gp but we cant be over there every day. My ex has a Medicare PPO plan which is excellent, but the doctors here keep moving around. Very hard to get in with any pulmonologist and many practices dont even answer the phone (leave a message). We retire here from LA, made a lot on our house, but lucky to be alive with the sub par medical care. They had better start giving better incentives for going to medical and nursing school. Hang in there!
