← Return to Need Help With Asking PCP Again for a Referral to a Specialist

I am on this website to share what works for me in reversing diabetes and to seek ideas that improve our health. I hate bringing up policy matters, because it is the job of the medical industry to serve our needs in the best way possible. But sometimes we notice that methods of delivering good health care could be improved. So I am at home, not feeling well, and waiting for the phone call to diagnose my issues after six months of dealing with health problems, plus the pandemic. Help is a bit slow in coming these days. It is easy to get referrals in my area, but sometimes I think the elderly are tossed around between medical practices. Dorisena

@dorisena, Like you and me, so many others I hear from often feel as though we seniors (although you may not be a sr) are treated less pro-actively than younger patients. It may be because we have more health issues and their time is limited or it may just be because they figure we are old and not as treat worthy as younger patients. Here is hoping you get a phone call soon with help for your health issues. All types of medical care and treatment seem to be moving more slowly now than before the pandemic. Hope you are feeling much better soon!
