Ed - I love it! I’ll tell you this: As I was moving away from my NC Cardiologist (loved him!!), he told me to get used to PA’s and Nurse Practitioners. He said that’s the way the medical business was moving, part of “cost reduction”. He said we’ll see lower paid but highly skilled practitioners while there will be fewer “MD’s”, and they’ll be reserved for higher level needs as they segregate the medical activities. So my move to SC was like that, my Cardiologist MD has introduced his team of Nurse Practitioners. New doctors (med university) have their preferred medicines/regimen, so my NP is managing the change and I’ll only see him annually or if needed. I can’t believe how well it’s working, and will take your advice and proactively seek them out in other specialties. Thanks Ed, and I hope you’re recovering well from your fall. I had my office chair (with wheels) slip out from under me last week. It smarted, twisted my knee a little in the process of falling. Though I felt stupid for letting my guard down, I am glad to report that what I’ve learned from PT got me up off my floor by myself!
