Yep. I make two. I'm on my third pdoc in three years, but he's a good one (amazingly enough). I needed to see someone asap and had an appointment for a week later, but when I called to see if there was ANY way they could see me sooner, the nurse said "We're pretty full, but ... can you be here at 8 tomorrow morning? We'll work you in." Amazing. And they did. And they did bloodwork and called for my labs from my internist and everything...he is an actual MD, which still amazes me - since my other two pdocs had were "MDs" but just sat there and said "mm hmm" a hundred times and then raised the dose of whatever I was on and sent me out the door for three more months. This guy actually wears a stethoscope around his neck...I don't think my other two had seen one since med school! And his knowledge of medicine is very important to me, since he's prescribing them!!!
