Reading a great book called "You: the smart patient", and found my PCP (call him Dr G) to be quite inept. While his physicians assistant is normally the one I see, my PCP will be torn away from whatever he does to avoid patients if and when I go into the hospital.
I have decided he is the last person on the face of the Earth for me. No matter what my medical condition when I see him, it is always the same answer. He hands me a 5th generation photocopy of a one page low-fat diet and sends me out. My stepdad (in his 80s) can hardly walk to the street and is constantly on oxygen. He bought an old wheelchair from a neighbor, but barely has strength to push himself. Whe he asked for the doctor’s help in getting an electric wheelchair, the doctor said, oh, medicare won’t pay for one of those for you! You can still walk. He treated this great WWII ex-Marine like dirt. I deicded that was it. I do not want him or anyone he would suggest. Anyone (esp. from the medical field) have suggestions??
