My friend had passed the article on to me because I often speak of
eventually moving to Las Vegas -- it did give me something to be concerned
about other than going bankrupt! I guess this story wasn't exaggerating.

My doctor referred me to an orthopedist ("the one who does all the football
players") and I got an appointment within five days. I think, as with
anywhere else, it's a question of getting into a good practice with good
referrals. I was very concerned about moving to Vegas too until I remembered
how close it is to Los Angeles.

As some of you are aware, I am planning a move
sometime next year from Long Island. I have taken
early retirement for the present as I have an
arthritic back, bulging discs and diabetic neuropathy.
I'm going to need an internist, neurologist,
endocrynologist, orthopedist and physical therapist.
I've checked the participating doctor list under my
health plan and have noticed that most doctors in my
PPO are associated with University Medical Center of
Southern Nevada. Is this hospital the largest in the
Las Vegas Area or are there others? I'd appreciate
some information about this situation.
