Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I once had a hypertension specialist I was referred to whom I absolutely hated. He had no personality whatsoever, and he even seemed hostile. He was a pretty good specialist though - really knew his stuff, and was highly-regarded and published in the field. Sometimes, we just have to look past these issues. On the other hand, if you have the choice between a doctor like that and a doctor who his more friendly and reasonably competent, I would certainly take the friendlier one any day. The doctor-patient relationship is a very important one when you have a chronic disease like IgAN. Well, off to another dialysis. I'm so looking forward to relaxing there for 4 hours Not! I have to leave now (about 4 PM) to avoid the major rush hour traffic crosstown, and I won't get home until about 10:30. To the 3-1/2 hours treatment, you have to add driving time, waiting time in the waiting room (sometimes they can be running a half hour late), time to be put on, time to be taken off, time to hold the needle sites after. It all adds up.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 , I would guess she probably likes your property taxes and your mortgage payment more than she would in CA though. Even fresh lemons don't help overcome the cost of living here!
