I'm having a pesky problem. I'm lost in trying to figure out which doctor gets which question. Sometimes more than one wants to put in their 2 cents worth of opinion. My primary care is a great family medicine doctor with a great attitude but sometimes he gets confused.Em
For example, I was having a reaction to a medication that indicated an allergy so my pulmonologist sent me to an ENT. The ENT only wants to deal with the trach itself but she didn't order the equipment and supplies or set up… read more
I forgot to say I did a major change of all my doctors. My primary for thirty years was not that upto date plus not computerized. I was in pain every nite and he could not find it. Anyhow new young female doc. Primary she is sharp. She found my problem and it had been causing me so much pain a stomach. Uh had a c-PAC for two weeks. I got cleared no more tears. She checks everything and I get results by the next day plus scripts called in. The pulmonary is great aggressive and I have held steady since 2004. My eye doc is fantastic for macular....he kept one eye going for some extra years
The young doc are great. Caring for my husband for ten years really destroyed me.
Your GP should be able to tell you about the medications you take, but better to let the one who prescribed the medicine know about your concerns. I don't understand the need for an NET specialist.
My doctors are all on the internet so they can pull all information. I also get test results some the next day and others a few days. It's a great system.
I think you did a heck of a job! The main thing I see on this site are people suffering thru poor communications w their drs! Not only do people keep suffering w poor interactions but it can hurt them, maybe permanently! The main drugs are inhallers; Lama's or Laba's either separately or in combination (Anora)or w a Lama separately(Spiriva) w a Laba/inhaled steroid (symbicort) . Then a rescue inhaler, usually abuterol in some for or another. I know some people Get relief from an nébuliser as well! That's it my little knowledge all used up!
Thank you. I have a list I carry with me as well. What bugs me is that after my visit, I check my record on the patient portal and the medication list hasn't been updated. I had one office staff tell me that he liked my neatly typed list with dates, doctors, drug replaced, dosage, time taken but since I wrote the list he didn't believe it. He wanted the actual prescriptions.!!!!!! I can do that now that I only have 5 but when I was on 13 it wasn't quite as easy.
