@contentandwell My PCP is in this city, my two critical specialists are 100 miles away in the city I just moved from. I gave my new PCP over 100 pages of lab results from the lat two years. He is happy to have a complete background for me. And my two specialts review each other's lab results, too (they are not in the same practice).

@gingerw sounds similar to me, at this point all of my specialists are in Boston, about 55 miles away, and my PCP is here in NH. Everyone sees everything. I really like that they are all familiar with my history, it gives me more confidence that they will not recommend something that would be wrong for me.
I still think my PCP is a bit nosy though. I bring my IPad to visits and if I am looking at something he tries to see what it is before I close it up! I bring my IPad because I will NOT read magazines in doctor's offices, who knows what germs may lurk on them. My PCP agrees that it's a good idea to not be handling them.
Speaking of which, do you know that one of the germiest things is menus in restaurants? Think of how many people have handled them. It's a good idea to have some hand sanitizer with you to use after ordering.
