Need A Top Specialist? (NAPSA)—For most people the medical care they receive from their physicianis fine. There are instances when a rb specialist may be essential. When do we need more than just a good doctor, but an outstanding one? Dr. John Connolly, co-publisher of the book, America’s Top Doctors, says “Clearly, when you are facing a critical illness or problem, one that may be lifethreatening, you want the very best specialist.” There are other instances when the good care offered by the many fine physicians practicing in this country is not sufficient and a top specialist may be essential. Here are some examples: 1. When your physician seems uncertain of the diagnosis. 2. When physicians or tests offer conflicting views. 3. When the problem lingers withoutresolution. 4. When the diagnosis is unclear or uncertain. 5. When you need more specialized treatment that is not available in your current hospital or doctor’s practice. 6. If you have exhausted the scope of your present therapy and you must move on to a more spe- cialized or possibly experimental therapy available elsewhere.
