Thank you ladies (((HUGS)))

Donna, you are right.

He should have known that I have a neurologist because I have MS, but if he was unsure, he could have easily found out that I do, who he is, and given him a call/sent him a note.

Instead, he thought he knew better, and made a WHOPPER of a mistake...

In short: The radiologist compared my recent MRI with the one I had back in February of this year and found no significant changes (which is good, and why I take Tysabri). But he mentioned that there were no significant changes to the two huge lesions I've had since 2008 (which is where my PCP got confused).

He came to the utterly ridiculous conclusion that there were no significant changes AT ALL since my diagnosis in 2008, so he was questioning my diagnosis and wanted me to be re-evaluated in Boston...
So the arrogant SOB must think that all the doctors I've seen over the last 10yrs (including 2 at prominent MS centers in Boston) must be incompetent, and I must be bat s- crazy
So, I sent another message through the patient portal saying that *I think* he read the radiology report incorrectly, explained what it actually said, and suggested he contact my neurologist if he has any questions/concerns.
I can't wait to see what kind of reply I get... if I even get one, but I think I am owed an apology.

Since he couldn't take the time to properly read the radiology report, somehow I doubt he will read my nephrologist's notes carefully enough to catch that my BP was 102/33 in his office.


As far as the rest of it, the practice is too busy. They have taken on more patients than they can properly care for...
I think the main problem is that I've never even been properly examined, and nobody has taken the time to sit down and actually listen to everything that's been going on, and ask me relevant questions.
I've seen the NP two or three times, but my PCP is booked until November, so I've been relying on messaging him/his RN, and obviously that's not working out very well for me.
I would like to make a change, but I need continuity of care because of all the referrals I need for specialists. I will see how the appointment with the surgeon goes, and will decide where to go from there.

In the past, my pdoc has been very helpful with advice in handling some of these types of situations, so I look forward to seeing her on Wednesday...
