Hello!
I was "fired" by my last internist when I became disabled. He said he "was not qualified to treat my condition" despite the fact that I told him my ME was covered by my ME specialist, and that I just needed the same basic primary care that anyone else needs. This happened at Duke. There was a lot more to it, he was very abusive and when I tried to report it, they stalled and stalled and eventually dropped the case. I have not had a PCP for a long time now, as I am now leery of anyone and have found that NC is a very hostile state towards ME, both doctors who treat it and patients who have it.
Does anyone know of an ME-friendly internist or family practice doctor to manage my primary care in the Durham or Chapel Hill area? I would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions! Thanks!
