Should I be asking things? I just want to find someone who will take me! (I am limiting it to people covered by my insurance, obviously, but beyond that, it seems like I'd have to see a doctor and know what was needed to actually ask any questions...)
I got the impression that you were being very selective and therefore asking a lot of questions already for screening providers. I think I might have misunderstood what you said. Now to clarify what I meant by this... I tend to get overstimulated and accidentally omit things when I've been on the phone a long time. You said the process has been challenging for you too... I thought that IF you were asking many questions, write them down so you don't forget. If the process is already stressful, it doesn't help that after you hang up you think, "oh, I forgot to ask them this!" That's all I meant.

Also, before you go to the doc, have a list of things you want to ask and symptoms you want to report. Some may be related, some not. But if you forget, you'll never get your answer.

I believe all news and research that supports my opinion, and dismiss the rest as conspiracy and lies.

I have a medical costs question too...

You might want to call your insurer and talk to them about who to see.

I don't agree with your characterization of commonly proposed healthcare solutions.

I don't think he's mischaracterizing anything so much as responding to Jens' point directly.

As a response to Jens' point, it works, but he used very general language.

Have you never looked at the boatloads of information that your insurer has surely sent to you? *NM*

Yes, and just in general, it's good to have a GP. But they are elusive creatures. Like unicorns. *NM*
