@gingerw. I’m glad you are here too and I am going to try to be more assertive in the future. My husband actually thinks I already am too assertive when it comes to doctors and says he would hate to be one of my doctors! For that reason we don’t go to the same PCP. I may switch to his though.

My most recent disappointment with my PCP, who is considered to be very good by other doctors, is that after I fractured my femur I contacted his office to see if I was due for a bone density scan. It turns out I have not had one in six years and the last one showed osteopenia. I’ve been told by a couple of people that if you have osteopenia you should be having a scan every two years. I myself should have been on top of this I guess, but no one ever told me that those results showed that I should do that. In my opinion he dropped the ball.
