When I was on my deathbed and everyone was just giving me the same response of "its time to put your affairs in order" I fired each and every single one of them until I finally found a crack-team that was willing to fight with me. I don't know how many of these doctors I dismissed at the time, but it was a lengthy list. My point is that you need to take control and it doesn't matter if you have gone through 5 or 15 or 50, you will finally find that ONE that matters as long as you are very clear on what you expect from them and make it a TEAMWORK situation.

I have never once felt ignored or disregarded by any of my medical providers, in fact I am very proactive with my providers and am always a key part of the care plan..... ANY PROVIDER that ignores their patient (which is a major "Red Flag") should be fired - you always have that right to fire any doctor in any setting and get another.
