Good Doc appointment

So I've been having a terrible time trying to find a general practitioner to deal with all my girly stuff. The last one hardly even took my history! Today though I had an appointment with a good doc I think. She took a thorough history and family history, she asked how I'm doing with my CF and life in general. Then she did a complete physical including all the labs and even updated my tetnus (I didn't know you're supposed to have one every 10 years....). Its about time I find someone who actually cares enough to want to take good care of her patients!

On another note, I went to pick up my perscription for hypertonic saline (first time, just starting to use it). Of course they had issues ordering and what not. So I get to the pharmacy, my insurance had rejected it. I got that figured out so they get the vials for me. There are 100 vials. Keep in mind I'm supposed to get a months worth. So then the pharmacists says to the other person standing there "Oh, this is only half of what she should have. Where's the rest?" I'm thinking "What?!?!?!" So they are supposed order another 100 vials that I can pick up in a few days. 200 vials!! Hey, my insurance paid for it, I'm not saying a word!

It is awesome to have a good GP. It is great you found a good one!!!! They are hard to find. So many of them just about run screaming from the room when you tell them you have CF! Like they don't study CF in Med School and don't have a clue what to do for you. LOL

I'm glad you found a doctor that you are comfortable with and who seems thorough.

Let us know how the hypertonic saline goes for you.
