I think this is an important enough topic to be its own discussion. There are many patients who could benefit greatly from your stories. I will start it as it's own discussion.

I agree, this is an important topic in healthcare, I have battled this a few times locally. Mayo and the collaborative way they care for patients and work outside their own network was truly an eye opener. I now consider it one of the most important qualifications of a new specialist.
Here's the link to the related new discussion that @jolinda started. I look forward to reading your comments there.

@jolinda, @auntieoakley, @gingerw. That might be a great idea....it will be good to know what folks expectations are for interfacing with the medical staff. Then maybe we can help clarify what that model might look like.. I am/was a client-centered therapist....also called a Rogerian. My understanding is that Mayo is advocating the need for a patient-centered practitioner experience that is transferrable to any medical institution. May you be content and have an easy breezy day.
