Hiya,
I am hoping to fire my GP as soon as possible for many reasonz, but mostly because ever since she had a visit from my insurance company where they were bullying her to reduce my medical costs (hi multiple complex chronic diseases good luck with that!) and have me call them to get an insurance-company-assigned case manager (who will be totally unbiased and not impact my care, yes?), whenever I go in for something acute I get a long talk about how all the treatments would interfere with my meds from other doctors and she can't really do anything, she'll do a simple test, but I should go talk to them.
...
Which is totally not connected in any way, right?
So I was hoping it would get better but it really hasn't, so as I said searching for a new GP somewhere in NoVA (so as not to drive forever and ever) who is not an asshole about things like Fibromyalgia being a thing not "in your head".
If anyone is comfortable sharing a rec via PM or suchlike, would be so much appreciated. Just spent another useless hour there yesterday and actually the nurse practitioner at minute clinic last month was more helpful. Which is sad.
Thanks,
