My pulmonologist fired me

No, I haven’t contacted UofC yet as it just happened yesterday. To be honest I am mentally exhausted at the moment and need a break from all of it before tackling getting re-established. The difficult part is that new patients are always made to wait 3 months for an appointment. I have never understood that because existing patients usually can get right in. Tomorrow I will call Northwestern Medical Records and request copies of everything including CDs of scans. But I know them by now and how difficult they will make it. I have to psych myself up to do battle once again. They (Northwestern) are mentally and physically draining. I am going to need an Interventional Pulmonologist, a treatment pulmonologist, an infectious disease doctor and a cardiologist. That equals a lot of waiting and a lot of appointments. So be it. I have no choice. I sometimes wish there was a place to document my story about NW and all the awful things that have happened. They truly are dreadful.

What is an Interventional Pulmo vs a treatment Pulmo? I just have a pulmonologist and never heard of that distinction. Thanks

Doberdoo If you like your Infectious Disease doctor and Cardiologist then maybe the Interventional Pulmonologist works well with another pulmonologist in the system and would be glad to suggest another after his determination with you that the Pulmicort should be O.K. in consideration of your concerns. I wonder if that might be something to consider if you haven't already.
