Changing doctors …

Is it possible to discuss the issue with your current doctor? I think docs like to be able to prescribe. When we cannot tolerate meds, for instance, and they feel they have nothing to offer us, there can be that detached look in their eyes, yes. But medical care should be about so much more. Not only more holistic approaches but emotional support.

Hi, windyshores (I like that name!)

The doctor I'm moving away from (I'm not abandoning him entirely) is very easy to talk to. The problem is chiefly that he's risen up through the ranks of medical academic circles and is now more out of town than in. I respect him for that, but it does make having fluid conversations a bit more difficult.
