I had my six month appointment with my GI, and he informed me that he is moving to a bigger city at the end of July. We are now two GI's short, but he says doctors don't want to come up here. (boonies) I need a referral to try to see one of the two we have left. My family doctor is retiring, and we also have a shortage of them. I really don't want to have to rely on the ER or walk in clinics. My gynecologist said that the new family doctors will have an interview with you to see if they will take you on as a patient. I've never heard of that before. I'm supposedly a complicated case, and he said they may not take me. Is that even legal?
