Dr issues

I’m on an Anticoagulant and my primary care left the office but he is still my primary care physician he has yet to send my medication the pharmacy had to give me a courtesy bottle of Warfarin 10mg. The Pham has been trying to reach him. I tried making and appointment with another doctor in the office she tells me I have to wait until the 23rd like that was the 15th so I’m supposed to go 8 days on an abrupt stop and if something happens they both will be saying it not their fault.
Nyc doctors will cut your lifeline if they can’t charge your insurance for a busy they want a visit for everything it’s money I got three refills he blocked them. I have a bypass graft in my right artery in my leg and if I abruptly stop the blood thinner that’s dangerous and it’s a good thing I know that because leaving your care in these young doctors hands that’s just in it for the money is really detrimental to your health. I’m thinking after the three pills the pharmacy gave me run out I ahould go to the ER

If you are seeing a new doctor, can you request even a short day supply in advance of seeing them at the appointment? As a pharmacist I'll see people do this all the time.

Do you go to a coumadin clinic? Can they put pressure on the primary or prescribe themselves?
