Yeah, when she told me that, I about had a cow!! I have never had flu (of any kind) and so I made a point NEVER to mention flu to that lady doc!! I have also never had a doctor's nurse warn me about her doing something like that!

In her defense, (only because I feel it's fair to tell the good with the bad) she will and does work you in immediately the very day you call for an appointment, and she keeps half of her daily appts open for this type of walk-ins. She gives you free samples when she prescribes a new med, so you don't go out on a limb filling an expensive prescription that doesn't work in the end for you. She does give you eye contact and appears to listen.

Secondly, her nurse is absolutely stupendous and I love her, the nurse, to bits. She returns calls right away or the very next day and if she's out, she has another nurse who covers for her. Some doctors have nasty nurses, but this gal is so conscientious and loving.

Well, I will let you know what I decide to do. There's another doctor in the office that other patients have recommended to me. I might switch to her.

Once again, thanks tons for all the input. I don't have any women here at home to talk to, all surrounded by menfolk and you know what they are like!!!
