This is probably fairly typical, and most patients aren't as resourceful as you are in getting information and educating themselves. I think it is a dangerous public health situation, brought on by managed care.
I have similar problems reaching my pdoc, but I complained to him and said I cannot work with a doctor that is unreachable. He then told me to page him on his emergency pager and told me the best time of day to reach him when he isn't in session but it isn't too late. Could you talk to your doc about that?
