Thank you for the prompt response and useful information. You have sensitively noted my frustrations with my hematologist; I have not gotten a satisfactory response from him in several weeks, despite several requests. He's so busy, I haven't seen him in approximately 4 years, just his nurses. I am actively seeking a second opinion in this area. Hopefully this won't take too long. If that doesn't work, I may come to Mayo in Jacksonville.

Oh my gosh, if you haven’t seen your doctor in 4 years and feel like there’s a lot of backpedaling, I can see your desire to get a second opinion elsewhere. We have to trust and have a good rapport with people on our health care teams.

If you’re interested in Mayo-Jacksonville, here is a link to get the ball rolling. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
From that page you can follow the prompts to request an appointment.
I’m glad your leg is healing quickly. But don’t delay in getting another appointment. It’s important to keep those platelets at a healthy level and that require treatment. But if you haven’t been seen in 4 years, it might be time to start fresh with another hematologist. Let me know how you’re doing with a progress report, ok?
