Finding a Doctor that Fits: Working Together's the Key to Good Medical Care
I could write a book on this topic alone!
The key to good medical care is finding doctors who are capable of integrating multiple types of medical care into their practice.

She has fibromyalgia (and kids and a husband and extended family) and she was commenting on how fortunate she feels to have a physician who is really able to help her, and he will even listen to her whine a little bit when she needs to.
