My ob/gyn passed away....

Yesterday I learned that my wonderful Dr. Edward Oliver who I affectionately referred to as "Dr. Huxtable" passed away on July 4th. I called his office to ask him clomid questions and make an appointment and there was a message stating that he had died. My PCP's nurse told me that shortly after he delivered a baby he went to lay down and had a massive heart attack. Needless to say I was shocked. For the past year he had been a wealth of knowledge and an excellent source of support while I've been TTC. I feel lost and nervous because now I have to start all over again with someone new. I feel guilty for having those thoughts so soon but it's hard to find a doctor that you feel a connection to. I'm thankful that I got to know such a great man and hopeful that my next doctor will be half as kind, compassionate, and funny as he was.

Rest in Sweet Peace Dr. Edward S. Oliver.

    That is so sad.  Don't feel bad about your feelings.  It is hard to find a doctor that you are comfortable with.

    Oh my goodness! You know my father is a dr and I have learned that dr.'s make the worst patients! Im sorry you have to find a new dr. It's hard when you have one that you really trust. I'm going to an RE, but my GYN and I are very close (we went to each other's weddings)! IDK what I would do if I couldn't see her anymore! GL finding a new dr that you can confide in and trust as much
