Just wondering as it works differently here. When a dr. moves or retires, he/she can take her caseload with them. They can choose to hand their caseload over if a new dr. is taking over, but that dr. doesn't have to accept the patients as they may have their own caseload already. So basically, if a dr. leaves, usually the patients are left in the lurch.
it was the same doctor for about 20 years, but then she retired - after that I just stayed with the surgery, though I could have gone anywhere else if I wanted.
