Primary care physician and I just fired each other
June 15, 2011
Honestly, the last few visits haven’t gone well. I started out with a lovely old Jewish man whose office was about a mile from my house. He went out of practice (retired), and I got moved to a really nice doctor, just out of school whose wife was still in school, still close to my house. When she got out of medical school, they moved back to Oklahoma.
I haven’t care for this guy, and one reason is that he has gained weight at a more rapid rate than I have, but he still gets on me for my weight.
Plus they moved, and it takes a good thirty minutes to get to his office.
My first problem is that he keeps duplicating what I do and the other doctors do, and then I have to pay for whatever he wanted out of pocket. The final straw was a figure prick blood glucose test that his assistant did that I got charged $20.00 for. Excuse me? That would pay for a bottle of test strips!
Also, I’m quite sure that my vet’s tech is much more educated than she is.
So now I’m looking and I’m thinking about a office that opened recently near me, back to a few blocks away, and I just stopped in and looked over the staff and office.
