We thought we would be getting a list of which doctor to go to for what ailment...
While under specific care... your surgeon, oncologist, radiologist, gastroenterologist, urologist, cardiologist each seems to have some say.
For long term care, the primary care physician is the one to go to schedule blood tests, B12 shots and replacement J Tubes.
I really wished someone would give us a flow chart as to who to go to. We've seen 3 dietitians, several PA"s and 5 Emergency Room Doctors. They all are comfortable in their own specialty. Fortunately, J's brother is a family doctor and he is there at all hours to help keep us on track! Thank you Dr. M!
It was truly enlightening when a young ER doctor asked us what we wanted to do! So I guess we've earned our PHD along the way!
