**Finding a GP doctor to actually sign AISH forms?**

Has anyone else in Grand Prairie had a nightmare of a time trying to find a doctor to actually complete the AISH medical report?

​I’m not looking for "how-to" advice. I need to know where to go to find a physician who will actually sit down and review my files. I’ve already tried the walk-in clinics, the PCN (Primary Care Network), and even Telus Health doctors. I’ve done the work, but nobody is helping.

​I’m dealing with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, chronic heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. It is a vicious circle that never stops: the RA inflammation hammers my heart, the heart failure forces my kidneys to work harder until they fail, and the kidney issues loop right back around to make everything else worse. It’s a constant, overlapping cycle where one condition feeds the other. It isn't going to stop.

​Why is it so hard to find a doctor who will actually take the time to do their job? I’m tired of the "guesswork" and the lack of testing. I need a physician who will actually look at the evidence and put pen to paper instead of giving me the runaround.

​Is anyone else in Grand Prairie hitting this same wall? If you know of a doctor or clinic in town that actually reviews history for complex cases like this, please let me know. I’m exhausted and I need a real lead.
