It is time for a new Dr. General practice.
The old one told me that he is not going to help me cause,,, I have failed to recognize that the work I do is,,,, is the work of someone thirty years younger than myself! What should I look for in the New one? older Dr. More experience,,, Young Dr, with the latest education?

Someone you are comfortable with. Someone who listens well. Someone who is up-to-date on treatments for various diseases. Someone who doesn't rush you right out the door. Those are the first things that come to mind.

Took me a couple of seconds to figure out what DR. meant what with DH,DW, DSIL, etc. I was reading the period after DR as a period to end a sentence.

I have been working too hard - the first thing I thought when I saw this was - Disaster Recovery plan.

And someone who isn't afraid to send you to a specialist if what ails you is out of their comfort zone. Younger, but not too young. But main thing is that they listen and actually HEAR what you are saying.

His comment was that I am self destructive,
The work that I do is for men thirty year younger than myself,
He has been telling me for some time to slow down,, I don't want to slow down. I asked him, How many people my age does he tell them to slow down? he said none.
But, the aches and pain that are slow to go away,, may make it necessary to do so,, That said I have a stress test coming up,, I will ace that ez!

So, he's firing you because you're too healthy, doing the work of a man 30 years your junior? That makes no sense at all.

He didn't fire me, I am quittting him,,
The last three visits, I voiced some concern ,, he blew them off, We will see if the next one blows it off, And the Woman Dr. before him, I went to her two time complaining of back pain, severe acid re flux,, call , told her thru the PA, that it was getting so bad so fast, That I was going to quit working,,
She blew it off,, Yep,, the ol Widow maker was 95% clogged,, Got a stent.. A little bit more and you would not have the joy of communicating with me.
