I just found out my Rheumatology Dr. left the practice- without notifying me, or passing me off to another Dr. (Apparently the one who was her boss and was also my Dr. isn't my Dr. anymore either). When I called to make an appointment- completely oblivious to the fact I had no Dr.- I nearly sent the receptionist into conniptions. She kept saying "Are you sure you aren't a new patient?" and "Well, I don't know what to do with you" and in the background i hear another receptionist saying: "Oh Just give her to Dr. __ I guess." It's like, Gee, thanks.
I'm like how do I start off from scratch with a new person who has no background with my case. Anyone have any experience with things like this? How do I bring up new symptoms when he doesn't even know my old ones?
