I feel ya! My last doc, the one that vaporized (again), had an office that was literally 71 miles from my home, each way. It's a 140-mi RT and thank goodness I'd called them, the week prior to the appointment and they said. 'oh, well, she's not here anymore," so I was going to make this pilgrimage over the hills and through the dales, for what???? To see someone else that I never wanted to see?
Sheesh. Y'know, I'd been her pt. about two years when she left the first practice I was with, the year prior to Covid. I found her post-COVID, and managed to do so just when she decided to leave that practice (so, what, 2-3 years?), so I canceled the appt. I'd made, at that 2nd practice, a nd made the appointment at the 3rd, the one 140 miles away. That was just last year, and now...well, there ya go again. ((One of the nursing assistants informed me that it was a family personal issue, but you know what? 3 practices in what, 4-ish years? Nah.)
Both my GP (yeah, yeah "primary care physician") and my OBGYN retired this past year. I'm bereft. I mean, it's not like you can run around and interview these suckers, before "hiring" them to be your doc, is it? (And why not, she asked...???)
