Jay,
Thanks for your post. In retrospect, I think that my original statement ("I think it would be a good idea to switch docs asap") was a knee-jerk reaction to part of Nancyjoyandamber's post that I ended up taking out of context. I apologize to everyone here for making the statement. I don't know enough about anyone's doctor here to be able to reasonably determine whether or not it would be a good idea to switch docs, and I'm sorry for making such a snap judgment without thinking more thoroughly about what I was writing. You're correct. I should have been more cautious.
My issue with your post was that you seemed to imply that my statement was more of a demand than a suggestion. I think that I overreacted to your post, and I thank you for not overreacting to mine.

Ultimately it is their health on the line and the doctor-patient relationship.
