Miranda, I almost spit out my oatmeal reading your post.
I can change my pcp any time I want... I have great insurance. My closest friend works in development at the hospital and told me about a new woman who is establishing a practice in the next town. I was going to call her to set up a physical when i got sick and went to my practice, where the original doctor's wife had joined recently. I saw her and she kind of guilted me into making an appt. for a physical before I knew it. I decided to give them one more chance and they "failed" their exam. She even tried to get me to have my pap, etc. done there, which I am not opposed to, but I so enjoy seeing my gyn, because she is a tri-athlete, who lost 150 lbs. and we used to see each other, for years at the health club, at 5:30 AM. She understands my lifestyle (and why I come in every spring with some type of "issue" from lots of riding).
