I know what you mean.....I've become the watchdog for John. It's rare to find a really good GP that will coordinate with all your other specialists. At this point, the iron issue needs to be discussed with the hematologist.

I know that when other docs have wanted to put John a med or do something, we will always run it by our Hemo for a second opinion. We've had two incidences, both orthopedic in nature, where the docs consulted with our hemotologist before commencing treatment.
