I have to travel an hour to go to my local Dr. He is a peds Dr, but he is very good. He takes care of all the CF patients in SW Kansas. I have been with him since I was Dx 12 years ago. I go to him for my cough or any other little problem, but when I really get sick I travel to The Childrens hospital in Denver Colo, wich is 5 hour drive. My local doctor gives me the choice of staying here when I get sick, wich I will do if I just have lower PFT's and a cough, or he will right an order for me to be admitted up at Denver if it is worse. I prefer Denver but it does make a financial strain to travel that far and be that far away from family. When I go in localy it is easier but the hospital is not up to par on infection control and staff. If I do go in down here the Dr wil call up to Denver dially for advice.
