I live about 50 miles west of New Orleans. I have gone to Tulane ever since I was a baby. Ever since Hurricane Katrina, nothing has been the same. The doctor I was seeing, who used to participate in all the latest clinical trials, moved out of state. The doctor I am seeing now sees every single adult patient in the New Orleans area, and seems to have his hands quite full because of that. Lately it has been getting harder and harder for me to bounce back from infections. I've had very painful pleurisy in my chest for a couple of months now, and it seems that nothing can be done about it. I just think the doctor is at a loss for what to do with me. My grandma is worried that I may not be getting the best care available and that maybe I should try visiting some place else. But there is the question, of what place? and would Louisiana Medicaid pay for it? A friend of mine is going to try visiting Shreveport. I know that Jackson, MS is closer than Shreveport. So if anyone who lives in the South has a lot of pride in their CF clinic, please let me know! Thanks
