When working with a patient, if you find out that it's not something that you can treat but part of your team can help you and treat it, then I think the doctors should work together and be able to treat the patient instead of continuing to charge co-pays to come back to go to another floor, to a different doctor, to this one, to that one, and nobody can help you. If you are all part of the orthopedic sports medicine and you work together, then I don't think that the patient should have to continue coming back and going to different ones, or the people that schedule you should have scheduled you to the correct place, and that's not the patient's fault.
