I know hundreds of doctors because of my work and the caring dedicated ones far outnumber the closed minded variety. Do doctors still let you interview them? When I was looking for my ob/gyn and pediatrician we visited a couple different doctors just to interview them. It was no charge, just a meeting in their office to feel them out on their views.
I would call a number of those on your insurance plan and tell the office you are looking for a new physician and could you have an appointment to meet the doctor. It should be no charge. Granted it was a number of years ago that I did this, but it seemed routine to the offices.
Happy Birthday, Laura!!!!
Thanks, Tom! I'm still in my inside pants. Woo!
Happy birthday, Laura!!! I am jealous of your inside pants. I wish I were still in mine.
Happy Birthday, Laura!
The birds are lovely, thanks for linking them.
I wish I had helpful words, WS, but all I can offer is compassion for your frustration. I am blessed in my doctor (lesbian GP FTW) and know it.
Smonster, I take it you got evidence that he really did take kitty to the vet? And I am glad you sound so happy.
I was skeptical b/c it takes a lot for someone to go to an emergency vet on a Sunday, but the story rang true once he told me the details. Whitefonted for squick:
worms.
Ewwww...
I still feel like a future me programmed him and sent him back in time for my companionship and enjoyment.
smonster and everyone who has been supportive, thank you for your words of compassion.
It is good to see that you have someone who cares for his pets, and is fun for you to spend time with.
