Your PCP should be your #1 point of contact for everything. If he can't get you what you need, it's his job to refer you to the proper person who can.

I call mine for minor **** like sinus infections or UTIs and he calls in scripts for me. Some doctors do insist on an examination for everything, but my doctor doesn't want me to have to go in for everything. I have to go in today tho.

It makes sense for you to call him since you are "home bound," cannot drive, have a hard time getting around, and are having these falls now. It would be hard for you to get to the office...

I would call the office and ask to speak directly to a nurse and explain the situation and see if your doctor can at least get the process started.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time, Bobby
And I'm sorry you had that public fall, too. It is VERY embarrassing
