Muffled- thanks for your response. I think that Dr.P's illness really hit the group hard. They're all in independent practice but share office space/costs, and I don't get the idea that there's ever been any plan for catastrophic events like this. I don't mean to sound cold, but this doesn't really effect the individual pdocs or therapists business so I don't think that they're necessarily thinking in terms of putting a plan in place. In my case, my pdoc wants to see me every week until Dr. P comes back. If he's out for as long as I suspect he may be, maybe my pdoc will get sick of seeing me weekly and find another alternative. I imagine that those patients of his that have a pdoc in the office are being individually evaluated for interim follow through. His individual patients are probably fending for themselves. I guess I'm really lucky to have a pdoc that cares enough to see that I'm not left to twist in the wind.....
