Anything you don't normally do in your work day is "Adult Play" at home... For me, it's mowing lawn.

Dear Alice:

Try the www.barttersite.org. Under resources, there's a limited list of physicians.

They also suggest:

..."contacting the nearest teaching hospital. A teaching hospital is associated with a medical school. The doctors in such facilities are most likely up to date in their treatment knowledge."
..."seek out opinions from local doctors you know for a referral to the nephrologist in your area with the best reputation. Some people have also been successful with endocrinologists."

I hope this was helpful.
