I think I made my doctor was upset with me because I told him it was time that I saw a nephrologist. He is not taking my function numbers dropping so I did what is best for me!

Good for you and don’t give it a second thought. Doctors want patients to be completely open and honest with them except if you question or disagree with them. Physicians who have such sensitive and delicate feelings shouldn’t be dealing with the public in the first place.
I think most doctors need to see a psychologist to develop better coping skills because many of them certainly can’t handle being questioned or criticized very well. The days of speaking only when spoken to are over.
I hope your nephrologist has sturdier emotions.
Take care,
Jake

@ms9246 You have to be your own advocate. A general physician shouldn't be expected to know everything, and should be ready to hand off a case to a specialist when the need arises. I am sorry he feels that way, but proud of you for taking a stand!
