NJ Ed | @njed –– I, too, was always impressed with the care I received at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. I was automatically patched in with UCHSC because I was employed by UC Boulder then. When I retired in 2011, I had no choice but to get new insurance. (I could have stuck with UCHC, carrying the needed insurance on my own would have sent me to the poor house.) I'm now with AARP United Healthcare, and most of my doctors huddle at one of the region's non-university hospitals. Changing subjects: I've not heard back from "my Dave," and it's now past closing time at my neurologist's office––so I'll be phoning again tomorrow. I sent a note to my PCP asking if she could find any mention of my B6 level on a report from a recent lab test. I've got copies, but to my layman's eyes, they're nothing but a maze of abbreviations. I could make out my B12 level: 941, back in Oct. '22. I wonder if my B6 level appears anywhere or has ever been checked. My PCP is good about getting back to me. Her workday is over now, too, but I'm pretty sure I'll hear something tomorrow. ––Ray

Problem these days is getting in to see anyone, at least at the University of Colorado. They seem to be short on physicians, and many appointments take months to arrange, especially in such fields as neurology, but even primary care can not take up to a month for an appointment, even for a tele-health-visit. They can be very good, and are knowledgeable since they teach as well as practice with patients. Lordy, the health care system is in trouble, and in part we can blame insurance companies who drive physicians crazy with paper work. I think a lot of doctors with some money and closer to retirement age gave up around Covid-time. BTW, we have Medicare and AARP's United Health Care Plan G which allows us to go anywhere that takes Medicare; we still have some doctors outside the university system, but slowly they are going away.
