Yes, the PCP has actually been suggesting for a while now that I see a particular neuro that she's familiar with. I rather trust her judgment on whether I'll like him or not, since she also knows well my old pain management doc (we both ADORE, him), she knew one of my old PCPs, the one that ran away from home on me and though she never worked with him really, she knew him from various functions and got a lot of his patients when he left.

So not only is she extremely accommodating, but she's also aware of what I'm looking for in my care providers. Not just a doctor with a brain but one who realizes I have one too. But also by switching neuros it'll put everyone in the same health group, that's also connected to the local university. So there should be fresh ideas bouncing about for sure, since many of the specialists also work as adjunct professors. And also with everyone in the same group they can directly view each other's notes, not just see lab results and dxs.

That will certainly make things so much easier on me. I mean I have my own medical files, labs, films and what nots that I've been toting around every time I see a new doctor. I have the info given to me by various doctors, but I'm lacking in what the doctor's impressions are, why they sent me for this lab or that one or why didn't they do, and the various other silly questions that I honestly can't answer sometimes. (A few of them I can answer with the younger doctors though, they didn't do that test, or that treatment, because the technology wasn't available at the time, I'm only 35 but some of these young doctors make me feel soooo old )
