What ever happened to the oath some doctors took?

PGR

Moved to Sarasota from Nj. Had the best medical team ever. I was feeling great and always felt good that they were looking out for me. Now I'm trying to develop some sort of relationship with a GI Dr and Colorectal doctor. The reason I need both is I have a jpouch and Crohn's.

Recently saw my Gi dr and told him I was flaring. Asked him to do a Calprotectin fecal test to see inflammation level and ustekinumab test to see my Stelara level. It's been two weeks since he got the results and still hasn't called. Left a couple of messages and still no call.

Both tests confirm there is an issue. Probably pouchitis again and the stelara levels are too low. I started taking Budesonide again because it was getting out of hand, I'm at my wits end and can't find a good GI that can help. I am willing to go to Tampa and would really hate to drive 3hrs to Cleveland clinic. Any suggestions on a GI that specializes in Crohn's.

I’m so sorry to hear this.
I live in Florida and fly back to NYC for my GI and other doctors. I’ve never found good healthcare in Florida.

Your a real trooper Man. I give you tons of credit.

I wish I had the energy to do that. I am getting close.

God Bless.
