Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

Just wanted to give you an update. I felt like my pcp was reluctant to make the referral, but I got it. The retinal dr. who wouldn't treat me last week sent her a letter, and a copy to me, in which he stated he was concerned about a follow-up locally. I told my pcp that the local retinal clinic was willing to schedule the next appt. anywhere from the middle to the end of August, so I didn't feel there was as much urgency as stated.

I hope that I am justified in my stance. Thanks for all the support since I posted. It is helpful to have a place like this to write out things like this. Happy Thursday!
