I'm thinking of changing doctors and just wonder if times have changed and I just have too high of an expectation anymore.
Currently, it seems like all my family practice doctor does is prescribe Rx's. Anything else gets referred to a specialist. In the past, I've had regular family doctors do diabetic foot exams, hernia checks, prostrate checks, EKG's, etc. all during a regular office visit if age, timing, symptoms, blood test results dictated. Even before COVID, I don't think my current doctor even touched me other to listen to my chest.
Pre-COVID, is this the norm now? With COVID, regular doctor visits are now online.
Thanks for any replies!
