Re: can you believe this??!!! To DeeDee

DeeDee,

Since I've been on vacation for the past week, I'm just now reading

your message about the problems you've had locating a new doctor for

Kristy. That this type of sudden brush off by her older doctor had to

happen at all is just horrible. It's a shame that his wife is so

insecure that she feels threatened by her husband's young, attractive

patient, and it's just so unfair for Kristy.

I don't know what luck you've had, if any, in locating a replacement

doctor, but thought I'd suggest that you contact the Oklahoma State

Medical Association and ask them if they can provide you with the

names of cardiologists who could treat Kristy. I would think that the

state medical board would have a list of cardiologists who would be

suitable. If they ask why you're looking for a new physician, you

might just refrain from explaining the whole problem in relation to

Kristy with a substitute explanation that her original doctor had to

decrease his patient load due to some of his own personal family

problems. That way you're placing the blame where it belongs.....with

the doctor's personal life, other than highlighting any problems in

relation to Kristy.

Hopefully, you will find a good replacement and this problem will be

soon resolved. I do believe that sometimes bad things happen for a

good reason, and it may just be that because of this doctor's wife's

insecurities, there may have been more problems with him in the future

that you wouldn't want to have Kristy exposed to. I hope it works out

for her, and that you can find her someone special.

With love, hope and prayers,
