6. They actually in the end turned out pretty helpful.

The Psychiatrist is going to download the lab work I am concerned about and check some of the medical databases she's subscribed to, to see if she can help me formulate some questions for the immunologist. She also said if I can get a list of Doctors accepting my type of insurance they will go over it with me and help me find a new primary care doctor.

She says she's noticed the high turn over rate at the practice I have been going to. I have had three different doctors in three years, and thinks something's not right there. It's sad. They have been treating me since I was born but all the founding doctors have either died off or resigned. Now they just seem to have no concern for anyone anymore.

I actually felt better after talking to the Psychiatrist yesterday. At least she is going to try and help get me some answers and understands I am afraid of what I may find out health wise.


Thanks for the reply.
