Nephrologist

[anja]

  I also have a super nephrologist.  He was injured a few years ago and has back and neck problems.  He is always able to be reached, I even called him at home last evening when my father was feeling so very nauseous.  He spends time with us and yet keeps his practice going all by himself!  He really cares about all his patients and he was a pharmacist before being a neph., that is a great help for the patients also!  He always takes into consideration which drugs are the most kidney-friendly.  He even asked if I would consider taking fish oil since my cholesterol is stubborn in coming down~ don't find many docs that suggest non-prescription remedies.  Our entire family feels fortunate that he is Dad's and my main doctor!

My doctor requires monthly check ups, but then he doesn't come to my unit.  I guess it depends on the doctor and the unit. 

I am lucky to have a doctor who is rated one of the best in the area by Seattle Magazine!

I see mine once a month for clinic (I'm on pd). I talk to my nurse a lot more though, I see her maybe twice a month, talk to her a little more than that maybe, sometimes. She draws the blood for our monthly tests.  I really like my neph though. He is good about recognizing my right to make choices. He just says this is the situation, these are the ways to fix it. Which would work best for you?

My Neph is cool and looks out for everyones best interest.

Omg!  I wish I'd thought of that!
