Rheum's in Saskatchewan

| Hi BJ, I almost feel as if I know you; last winter I read this board quite a
lot. I have seen Dr. Markland; she is so busy and a bit terse I found but I
was not there to make friends!! She is now in private practice and has a
heavy load; I now see Dr. Pollack, who is also in private practice; her card
states that you should be prepared to wait at least 2 hours so I usually go
across to the Mall if I feel well enough to shop. The Royal University
Hospital is a teaching hospital and has lots of Rheumies there on their
unit, I have not been there though.
I went to Dr Pollack for a second opinion and she said she was suspicious of
the dx of Sjogren's and said it is more likely Lupus so tests and more tests
being done. A very confusing disease.
We had a blizzard here this morning, an real dandy; snow, wind, cold and
snow stuck to the windows, screens etc. Forecast for snow for 4 more days.
Bleck! We are still under a heavy snow fall warning.
I hate the start of winter, darkness, ice, darkness, ice.........

| Hi Saskie,
I know the reason Saskatoon has more specialists is because RUH is a
teaching hospital. Regina certainly lacks specialists in all fields. Thank
you for your insights on Dr. Markland. Let me know what you think of
Dr.Pollack. I have waited two hours, or more to see a doctor. I never
minded, as long as they gave me the time of day too. There is nothing worse
than getting the brush off, after sitting there so long. Good luck to you
with your appt.
