Yes, I was impressed that he is seeking help for me elsewhere. A lot of doctors wouldn't do that. It would hurt their ego----and their pocketbook!
I do have great insurance that pays well and fast, so he could easily drag me on for years. This has gone on longer than it should have, but I admire him for saying he can't do anything else---and he thinks someone else might.
And no, he didn't say he wouldn't continue to see me. So maybe I could get a different opinion and then come back to him again.
I've done my share of doctor shopping, but when I find one I'm comfortable with, I hang on like a pit bull! I don't want to have to start completely over!
