Transplant Team or Local Provider: Who Do I Call for Medical Advice? May 20, 2020 | By Kristin Eggebraaten (@keggebraaten)Comment receiving replies
@danab and @contentandwell - you both hit the nail on the head. The mutual respect that transplant teams have with local doctors is so important. Your local providers tend to know you best because they've been with you for the long term, and our transplant providers rely on that knowledge to do what's best for you from a transplant perspective. Also, this post is not meant to limit the reasons why you should contact your transplant team. If you think you should call, then call (or message through the online services). Our team is here for you 24/7. This post was just meant to help guide you in those decisions when you might be stressed or ill and not really know what to do. I hope it helps!

It was for me that I'm also trying to limit exposure as much as possible. I was already getting blood work actually today and now Ill have to probably have to go to another lab once I see my pcp in a couple of weeks to test for this. Also it was also a question on the pre-appointment questionier so I'm wondering why they asked it in the first place. I'll be asking that today when I see the doctor.
