I did it. I dropped the bomb.
I should say, I dropped Dr. F-Bomb. Sure he was good for many great blog posts but I have finally broken free and found a new primary care physician.
The reason I decided to make the change, besides not having a potty mouth doc, was for a particular Endo that I heard was really good. The Endo I have (or had) is not interested in my health at all. I can think of countless times that I should have left this dude but I just never knew where to go! The one good thing he did was get me set up with Minimed for my pump but that was after I said, “I want an insulin pump” so I do not know if he should get credit for that.
I remember the time I went in to see him and told him about my foot hurting. He said, “We’ll get you a referral for a podiatrist.” I asked him if he wanted to look at them and he said that that is what the podiatrist will do. He NEVER saw my feet! WTF right?
The last time I saw him he asked me if I have ever thought about getting an insulin pump. I pulled Master P out of my pocket and said, “I am already on a pump.” HELLO?
A good friend of mine sees an Endo not to far from my home and he loves this guy. The only way I can see this guy is to get a PCP that will refer me to him. I called the Endo’s office and spoke to a nurse there. I said, “Which doctor would you recommend me seeing that will refer me to Dr. Reece?” The nurse I spoke to was so helpful and kind that I am already feeling some love for this change. The nurses at the other office were always short and annoyed it seemed.
The change takes effect on the first of April so I am going to make an appointment to see this new doctor ASAP.
So long Dr. F-Bomb.
I hope you take good fucking care of yourself!

When I read your last sentence, all I could think about what driving around Oceanside last April.
God that was a fucking great time...
If that one doesn't work and you are willing to drive to Glendora/Azusa I've got a good one for you.
I am very excited about this change for you!
Sounds like a great change. You can usually tell a lot about a doctor by how his office staff treats you. This sounds good already.
Way to go George. Being proactive can only improve your health. Hope the match is a good one.
All I can say is thankfully you stuck up for yourself!! Too many people would not have the guts to switch doctors.....all the best :)
I live in f__cK#ng New York City and cannot find a good ucking Endo. oh the stories...just like yours! good luck, hope it works out. keep us posted! btw, I'd like to leave this comment with my name but can't figure out how to do that so I'm signing on as anonymous. sorry - from saramy
Oh my god that made me laugh. Good honking job on dumping Dr. F-Bomb. :)
