I am so sorry,
I understand the closeknit relationship between a surgeon/doctor and a patient especially with people like us who require long-term care/follow-up or lifelong treatments.
Both of my fantastic surgeons are way past retirement age (into their 70's) and I live in mortal fear that they retire and I lose them forever...(selfish I know!)...
I sincerly hope that you find a new one who is up to the task and full of kindness and humanity.
