@tcd518 sorry, I just reread your message. My main doc here is the ID doc. Michelle Haas. She is superb. I meet with her every other day and she will coordinate with m ID doc in Boston. I have met with the pulmonologist once and she is not on my sechedule for the next few days so I think that is one and done. She also will be in communication with my pulmonologist in Boston. It’s a wonderful feeling to know you are being watched over by the very best! All good wishes to you!

@kris2468
Who are your doctors in Boston?
(Pulmonologist and ID)? I live in that area. Have bronchiectasis and Mac. Looking for good doctors in that area.
Thank you.

@kris2468 So nice to hear you were scheduled to meet with your ID doctor, Dr. Hass every other day.
When I was there in 2023 I only had a visit with the lead doctor on my first day and last day. That was not helpful. I was fortunate enough to have him call me as I insisted and pressed to have him do. One of the things I indicated to him was the need to see him more often during the week of testing to allow for immediate feedback after the tests....for the results and what they mean.
With my having that type of discussion all at once, on the last date was overwhelming and you don't have the time you need to reflect on it all to think of all the questions you eventually have afterwards.
Glad to hear how it worked and is working for you.
