> WillowThe GP we have now is NOT my favorite person. I could switch GP's if I really wanted to, but we've had to change insurance a few times, and it's kind of a hassle so we just keep him I guess. I'm 19, so I don't know if I'm taken too seriously. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining what I'm feeling too so he might just be doing what he thinks is right based on something I've said but I don't usually go into great detail. I just don't want to be naive about him and put blind faith in him only to find out he's not a good guy. Anyway, thanks. I know I can shop around, it's just that it's a hassle, both for me and my mom ya know? I guess I'll just give it more time. Thanks.
