I wasn't taking it as a criticism because I know not every doc is as good as my team. I am watched "like a hawk", especially by my primary of over 20 years. She must have a "flag" on my electronic chart, every time I see a different doc, she either messages or calls to see how it went, whether I feel I'm getting good care, etc.
Everyone should be as fortunate.

You are so very fortunate for the care you receive with your medical needs! This is not always the case for, I’m guessing, a number of us that live in places outside of major metropolitan areas. Our access to quality healthcare is limited; often mediocre (or less); and we travel very long distances and need to be self-determined; who are self-advocating, attempting to find resources, try not to give up, and really manage our own care. Each specialist works independently and our PCP is minimally involved. It is a challenging position to be in but it’s important to persevere for the best outcomes we can have.
