Optum bought the local clinic and so far my wife's rheumatologist and nephrologist both have left.

Can't wait to see where this will lead.

Do you know where they have left to? I wonder where Medical Doctors consider better places.

At this point, probably McDonalds.

I live in the PNW, my doctor retired. Multicare, instead of just transferring my wife and I to different doctors, did nothing, and now are treating us, did nothing.

We are being treated as new patients and the earliest a new patient can be seen is October 29th. Yes, 9 months away.

The earliest date I have been givenrom any of the other doctors offices I have called was June.

The joke used to be whenever anybody asked why their area had so few doctors was that they doctors all were in Seattle. Yeah, maybe, but they certainly aren't seeing anybody in a timely manner.

What a coincidence, I'm also in the area.

I hope they come back to Canada, we could really use a couple here. We don't pay as much, but at least you won't have to tell a patient they can't afford life saving care.... (yet)
