Just curious.... when you say using the same surgery, does that mean the same office and you get whatever dr. is there, or has it been the same dr. Just wondering as it works differently here. When a dr. moves or retires, he/she can take her caseload with them. They can choose to hand their caseload over if a new dr. is taking over, but that dr. doesn't have to accept the patients as they may have their own caseload already. So basically, if a dr. leaves, usually the patients are left in the lurch.

it was the same doctor for about 20 years, but then she retired - after that I just stayed with the surgery, though I could have gone anywhere else if I wanted.

Sounds pretty much the same as here then. Smile
