First, I have no age limit on my practice. I don't take a new patient over 18, but many have been with me since birth. A lot (mostly males) have a very strong rapport with me and do not feel the need to move on to an "adult" doc.
This kid is a GREAT kid. He never complains. He goes to college. He was at this practice, and he left because they refused to use propofol. He went to the other group. Everything was fine but he moved to Portland to go to college there. When he got too sick to stay there by himself, he came back to Bangor. His abscesses and infections required surgical care. She wanted him to get a CT, and she asked me to get him a GI. I tried to get him in to the "bad" office because I didn't know he had been there. When I called today to the new office the on-call doctor was so nice I didn't even know what to say. Listen to the difference in this statement than the previous one. "This patient sounds like he needs help and since you are asking for a consult I will see him whether I have to come in at 6:30 am or stay until 6:30 pm"
Jon, I certainly will.
