Worried about keeping an upcoming CKD lab and nephrologist appointment

@fiesty78 Vent away! We're listening. Hope you find a great neph like mine. At 1st I almost asked pcp for new neph referral bc 1st 3 appointments I wasn't sure neph was as good as everyone said. Neph very reserved and gave quite simple answers to my questions, for one thing. But then she realized I was well-versed medically and got used to my twisted sense of humor. And I began to realize she not only knew her onions, she knew how to grow them. Now I'm crazy about her.

@kamama94, Laughing at your sense of humor! and hoping maybe my third neph visit will be the charm that she too not only "knows her onions, (but also knows how to grow them). We can always hope!

@kamama94 @fiesty76 Good-for-you-and-your-situation doctors are gems in a desert of the medical field. It's not one-size-fits-all, and shouldn't be. Finding the right combination can be frustrating. I like my nephrologist now, but a couple in the past weren't worth salt. Ya gotta advocate for yourself!
Also, I just got my lab results from Quest, that were done on 7/16, in an email. Haven't heard from Dr, yet.
