Have the doctors at the two hospitals working together to help you? If not, that is an example of not using the multidisciplinary teamwork approach. I have no medical training or background but I have been lucky enough to have doctors that coordinate well between the different health areas and different specialists to diagnose and treat my different conditions.

Do you think your general surgeon or their assistant might help you consult with a vascular specialist to bring them up to speed and hopefully a better outcome from the appointment?
