My pulmonologist fired me

I was fired, too. My offense: going to Mayo for 1x visit while he was on 4 mo medical leave to get a diagnosis and plan. His nurse passed message along to see doc who did bronch. I’d only had one appointment. He’d cancelled the second appointment after CT and done an unplanned phone call about results that btw, showed bronchiectasis he didn’t mention. I already had scheduled an appt at Penn for a second opinion (few months out) and Penn doc has been great for me. I just had 2.5 months without one. I think original was a good general pulmonologist, but had a too busy practice and wasn’t that up to date on bronchiectasis.
I hope changing works for you, too.

"...wasn’t that up to date on bronchiectasis." That is an important point to make. Specialists have subspecialties and are really not up to date on everything. One should check if they are experienced about a specific area.
