The Dr who diagnosed me moved away in August. We had a wonderful rapport. He actually called me as he was leaving town and told me that if I ever needed anything to give him a call at his new practice across State.
My new Urologist has been recommended to me by many people in the Medical profession, including my gynocologist of 10 years. Lots of votes of confidence.
So far, I have not enjoyed the same easy, two-way relationship as with my previous Doctor. The fact that I have had to PROVE to him that my arthritis is BCG related has not stoked my confidence in him. (This reaction IS rare, less than 1%). The fact that I have trouble getting a phone call to him doesn't help at all.
Also, when I took the E Mail from Dr. Lamm to my new Doctor, the doctor said,
"I think I worked with him. Was he ever in Virginia?"
I said, "I don't know. He is in Phoenix now. His name is Don Lamm".
He said, "Yes, I worked with him for a year in Virginia".
It kind of amazes me that my Doctor obviously is not keeping up with the Lamm research.
This kind of boggles my mind. :o
But, I have made a CONSCIOUS decision that I am NOT going to alienate this Doctor with any complaints. He has been too highly recommended, and I may really need him someday.
It helps to talk about this...
