Good to hear other patients' experiences……the more, the better.
Personally I think it's worrisome when a primary dr. is reluctant to refer patients to a specialist because he "thinks he can handle it himself". In fact I think that's the most dangerous kind of dr.--the kind that thinks they know it all and will not change course.
The specialists don't go thru grueling extra years of residency-fellowship training, annual continuing education coursework/credits, and board certification exams because a primary dr. knows it all already.
