HydroCHLOROthiazide 12.5 mg. Started me on a low dose which suggests they must have checked w/ records prior to change in PCP. Chaos is not healthy for any one of us-especially at a medical health facility. Never has been like I experienced at recent appointments. Even was seen a different doctor because other one was w/ someone else...too weird!!!! Back on Thursday again. Currently not enthused. The standard med. A previous episode in 2014 w/ a different health group resulted in the PCP there prescribing an incorrect dosage of of a med which I took for 9 days before going to the ER as I had no idea of the doc's mistake...I was in renal failure. I asked for the hospital social worker while in the hospital and left that doctor and never looked back!!!! Different health network so no action was taken. Ankles have been swollen since then altho blood work comes back okay for kidney's. Doctor error is a far too frequent. She made several.

I understand how important it is to be our own advocate in the medical system. I'm glad to see that you are aware of that as well. Take care and keep us posted as to how you are feeling. I hope your next appointment goes better!

Yeh, me too or there may be a new exit at the facility...grin.
