Unfortunately not. I spoke up. I told my PCP I needed him to manage my over all health conditions. That is his job. That's why we have Primary Care Providers. Manage referrals to specialists, review my med list to make sure no drug interactions happen between providers prescribing. Manage acute pain and mental health. He kept turfing me to the allergist and dismissing my symptoms. I was nice about it. I was crying for help. I have the same issue as others in this thread. His response.. he fired me as a patient as he had the lab result in his hand that showed I was in kidney failure because he was failing to do his job. He just quit. It put me in a huge bind. It takes 2-3 months to get a "New Patient" appointment with a decent PCP.
The worst of it is it was my PCP that was killing me. He prescribed the statin that nearly destroyed my Kidneys. And he quit because I hurt his ego. Speaking up doesnt help when dealing with egotistical jerks. You have to plan carefully to navigate our medical system
