Anyone experience multiple CMV resurgences post kidney transplant?

Regarding the appointment in 2 weeks - like you, my initial thought was why would you need a video appointment to start Sirolimus? You make a good point so I'm going to ask the nurse to see if it's really necessary to have the video appointment when they're already reviewing weekly labs.
Question: when you have an appointment with your transplant team, are you sometimes assigned to a PA, not getting an MD depending on availability?

@caretakermom 😊
Yes, it's difficult to get an appointment with a doctor through scheduling. I also was assigned a PA instead of MD for my check up due to availability.
My local nephrologist and my other local specialists use a PA too to cover the high volume of patients, but the good news is the medical doctor comes in at the very end of every appointment to make sure that something important is not being missed. I love that system!
