Robert Brown,,,i see he was with Dr. j with the win-r. he seems to be all over the internet too,

maybe i'll stick where i am, who knows, just got off to a bad start with several mix ups and i am still a little mad about it, i guess.

maybe just need some cool down. spoke to the camp up north, so that helped my mind a little,,,so i'll see.

i don't want to post my email, but there are things that i don't want to say on board,,so you just have pieces and not everything.

i don't know maybe i'll try to ride it out where i am,,maybe things will get better next visit.

Are you suggesting switching from Dr. D to the guy at Columbia?-- just want to be sure before I answer? I don't think the insurance companies care who is treating you as long as a doctor writes the prescriptions and does the necessary approvals. I switched at week 2 of treatment myself.

i am thinking of making a switch,,,if i can't get in to the new guy until february,,do you think i should just start tx with current doc as is scheduled and then go to new appointment?

called someone else, whose highly reccommended by Dr.A, and the desk is seeing if she can get me in before feb,,,but now i am thinking,,,no big deal as far as starting tx where i am, then switching, right?

i am concerned about the papers i have to fill out that will be sent to insurance,,,will insurance contact current doc or anything,,wouldn't want that. or will they have a problen with me switching once tx starts?

maybe if i call the girl back and say the feb appointment is okay, but i will have already started tx. I don't want to have to wait until feb to start if i already have starting date here.

i'd appreciate any insight or personal experience you have.
