Along the same lines, how do you find a good doctor if the one you had is gone? I am almost 43 and haven't been for a physical in about ten years. I called for an appointment one time and was told that my doctor was in intensive care and may not ever come back. He never came back and I never went back. I made an effort once to get a new doc, set up an appointment with what I thought was a specialist in "sports medicine" and it turns out he was a specialist in "geriatrics". Turns out that those are two very different fields of medicine, who knew! Haven't been to anything but a walk in clinic since and they are brutal. I'd really like to find a new doctor and get back to regular checkups but procrastination gets the best of some of us.
