In reply to I feel dejected because of my one nephrologist, posted by WaterSapphire on August 31, 2008, at 6:27:37
If you are truly convinced that this nephrologist can lead you to wellness, then I think you should go back.
I will be the first to admit that it helps if we like our physicians, and it is even more important that we think they believe what we are telling them.
However, if you think this guy has the skills to get to the bottom of your problem, then I would give him another shot. Be sure that you tell him that you have looked at his research and record and that you think he is the one. They love that.
One caveat, researchers tend to form theories. Not all of them, but some, tend to adhere to those theories and can be a little dismissive if a patient presents with symptoms that don't support them. It happens. And is something to be aware of.
You say that there was evidence of wasting on a 24 hour analysis. Could you be more specific about that?
