Trust me it's not just an on base thing. My primary care is at a clinic that has about 10 doctors, and I can see any of them without having to move my records . I wasted the copay 3 different times, thinking that one of those doctors would sympathize with a woman that was 5 ft 3 and 215 pounds. I had tried for about 8 months on my own after I had my baby, and had actually gained a few pounds instead. All of them handed me a different diet plan, or suggested a book, etc. One of them was downright rude and acted like he was annoyed that I had wasted his office time for something like being overweight. The next closest doctors office is 3 1/2 hours away.....and even if I had been willing to go THAT far, there's no guarantee that THAT dr would have been any different. I should have just bought online to begin with.
