Hello Jude & Everybody.  I assume that every state has a registry or medical board of some kind.  I am in Ontario, and the Ontario Medical Assn maintains a website that lists all the doctors in the province, their specialities, and if they are taking new patients.  When my old GP retired last year, I spent an hour on the website and the phone, and found a great new GP, even closer to my home.  So you might start your search by seeing if you state has something like this.  If you cannot find someone in a month, I'm sure your old dr would give you some more meds -- it would be criminal if she didn't.   Bless you all -- I pray for you all every night.  Michelle ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; TMIC-LIST@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 3:31 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] good & bad doctors Hi Michelle,   Your email came at the perfect time for me.  I learned yesterday that my doctor is discharging me from her practice because I take up too much of her time and she doesn't feel as though she is doing me any good.  She said exactly what you say, almost word for word.   I feel lost and scared that I will run out of medication before I find another doctor.  She is giving me a month to do it.  The difficulty lies with knowing who to select.  No one will give me any names of doctors who treat SCI patients.  I will call my insurance company in the morning and have them send me a booklet with available doctors in it.  My doctor recommended that I find an Internist.  That was big of her.   Anyway, your words are right on the money and I just wanted to tell you how right you are.   Peace, Jude No virus found in this incoming message.
