So why don't you go to the butcher when you need a surgery?

Side point going to a Doctor who you are close with and has a vested interest in your well being is actually very beneficial IME.
If anyone ever needs serious medical help, I have many doctors in my family and would love to help out if I can.
Also I used to work for women's league so if you need a contact for a special needs home I know some people in that area specifically.
