I'm about to fire all the specialists I have accumulated in the last 18 mos. F^ck them and all their testing! It's no wonder our Healthcare system in the US is broken. Their making a killing off of us. I'll keep my PCP cause I like him and I've been a patient for about 20 yrs. I do not want my body to outlive my mind. I have seen too many examples of this recently and the picture ain't pretty!
I had a urologist "fire" me because I told him I wanted to "monitor" my symptoms and to not have a biopsy after a slightly elevated PSA.
"If you're not going to do what I recommend then I can't have you in my practice."
Me: If you're going to demand I follow your opinion instead of using my own judgement then I don't want you. You can't fire me, I quit.
