Having To Change Doctor

It might be time to be id pcp shopping to find yourself a Dr you can talk to who listens .
When the clinic I was getting my aids care at was absorbed into the research college ( University of Alabama ( Birmingham ( UAB ) knowing my id pcp might not be taking her patients with her I went dr shopping at nearby hospitals in an attempt to find a doctor qualified in the field of id .
Before I even had an interview set up with any Dr I got the news that my id pcp was keeping me as one of 10 patients that she was allowed to bring with her .
Needless to say I was overjoyed about such good news
I have now had her as my id pcp over 20 years and believe you me there's nothing between us that gets past the other :) .
I mean if I ask for something specific she makes me justify my request .
Now in the other hand if she wants me to switch or try something new she suggests it and gives me time to do my own research then we mutually decide if it is actually beneficial to my condition or not .
