What happened to your father is just plain wrong. Growing up, we had a family doctor that we went to for everything and he referred us to a specialist if need be, but otherwise, he handled everything (which was pretty rare, luckily). I'm slowly trying to establish the same relationship with a new doctor here (well, technically a Nurse-Practictioner).
