I can empathize with you on your first doctor. Don't feel bad about stating how she treats you. I too am stuck with someone whom I've been told is competent, but has not exhibited medical knowledge regarding MAC and it's treatment as competent, as well as treating me with scorn and disdain. I'm glad you found someone to "back you up" and hope for better times for you.

Hi @cwak,

Thanks for the empathy. It is rare to receive it in this world. I am switching doctors and going to Dr. Miriam Merchant. She is in the same office with Dr. Wilgus at UCLA Westlake, CA. I know a man for many years who recommended her and she is on the list I posted recently with MAC experts. She is in the advanced category and did her residency in pulmonary at Cedar Sinai in Los Angeles so she may know Dr Wolf.

I am on the waitlist to see her otherwise not until Feb 2, 2024.

Thanks again for empathy. Only people on this thread understand what confusion this is.
