    Hi Andy,

    The phrase you used, “divorced from the real world”, really hit the nail on the head as far as what I’ve been dealing with.  I am at a well-known teaching hospital (Vanderbilt) and this current doctor I have is a Neuromuscular Specialist – yet I am still not comfortable in her ability to pay attention to important details.  (Like you, I often have shortness of breath and that has not seemed important to her – but for me, it is rather scary). I am now convinced, after hearing from so many people living with gMG, that I do need to look around and consider finding a new doctor.  First and foremost, one who LISTENS.  Thank you for sharing!

    All the best to you in your journey – Lisa
