What to think your dr moves away without telling their patients.?

Then the med group, merges with others and you can,t get an appointment for at least 4weeks .And I feel they treat patients different my husband goes to another in the same group and right off the bat he gets an appointment .I have something in my chest, my doc did a X-rays came back clear but there is still a problem in my chest, had a script for another doc he too is booked .My father died of lung cancer he was diagnosed at my age, I just do not want history to repeat itself it seems that the drs don't care about their patients they run the offices like an assembly line. Next,,,,,,

    Are you a life time smoker? Lung cancer is not something that is generally hereditary. So you are not a greater risk because your dad had it.

    Beyond that, every patient and every medical group is different. If you don't like your doctor, go to another one. Go to the one your husband goes to, unless that doctor is a specialist, which may be why it is easier to get an appointment.

    I worked in a clinic, and some doctors are booked more then others.Usually the better ones take longer,if its a specialist, they are usually all at least 4 weeks and longer,If you feel its an emergency, go to the ER, cause they will not only see you right away, but do a lot of testing.BUT they refer you back to the doctor you had the appointment with.and a doctors appt costs way less then going to the ER.If your xray came out negative, your DR feels, its not a emergency situation, if he thought it was, they would get you in sooner.

    If it's a drs group, you usually get who's available. Your x ray was normal. What's the problem? If there's nothing wrong with you and all the drs know it, they may put off seeing you because drs happen to be busy with people who actually need to be seen.

    Why don't you go to your husband's doctor, then? If they are so bad at doing business, they don't deserve your business. Switch.
