Help, I need a Doctor
Brimhall Nizhoni, New Mexico has a hospital. Brimhall Nizhoni has many medical professionals operating in a variety of specialties. Fundamental healthcare begins with an individual or family?s access to a general physician, call it a family doctor or for children, a Pediatrician and for women a Gynecologist. Certainly, for people like me, a good therapist; better yet, a Psychiatrist! But why is it that someone in Brimhall Nizhoni, New Mexico cannot locate a physician that will take new patients?
CityBlog Brimhall Nizhoni, was struck by the frustration that was apparent in Susie Pena’s (a Brimhall Nizhoni, New Mexico resident) post on May 9, 2007, which read as follows:
I have been here 1 year this June and have yet to find a doctor that will accept new patients. I am very discouraged that there is no avenue for new residents to find out who is available without a lot of labor intensive efforts.
Does Brimhall Nizhoni have a physician association or, does the hospital know of new physicians coming into Brimhall Nizhoni that are looking for new patients? It would behoove all communities to have some centralized service that maintains a list of physicians who can accept patients as either “new†or on a rotating basis until the new resident can establish regular healthcare.
