That’s an awful plan for some people because a lot of primary care doctors don’t know chit except the name of someone they went to med school with. There are some surgeons out there that are less than stellar.....they get referrals from primary care physicians.


I think you missed the key part of my post. The key part was who would my primary doctor go to if he had the same issue. I'm pretty sure he would go to who he thinks is the best, not his drunken med school frat brother.


No sir, I didn’t miss it, but I might have wrongly assumed that a primary care physician would refer his/her patients to someone other than who they would see theirself
