I was fired by my doctor. When I first came to TV I need a primary care phycican. Dr. Rivers was recommended. I saw him, everything was fine, and he told me to return in a year. Which would be in October. The following October I was up north taking care of my dying sister as she had no one else. I did not return to TV until mid December. I got busy with Christmas and forgot about Dr Rivers. I called early in January to make an
appointment and was told I could no longer be a patient of Dr. Rivers and that my records had been deleted from their system. The reason: I failed to follow Dr. Rivers instructions by not returning in October. I tried to explain my issues with my sister but was told it was too late. Find another doctor. Which I did. I suppose it was partly my fault but he could have been more understanding.
