  Erik O. asked:

  Hi everyone! I'm sure this question comes up from time to time so I apologize for redundancy: can anyone recommend a primary care physician who is savvy to endurance athletes? I got some strange looks during a pre-employment physical yesterday and I'd like follow up with a doc who comprehends athletes with heavy training loads. Thanks in advance.

  I go to University Health Services 2410 Fire Mesa Rd Las Vegas 89128 702 992 6888. It is a nonprofit primary care operated by the University of Nevada Medical School's department of internal medicine as a teaching and medical residency clinic. Next day appointments are almost always available. If you need to be seen the same day, they can usually work you in. When you go in, you are usually seen by a combination of attending physicians, residents, interns and medical students, because they are using your case as a teaching opportunity. The medical students, interns and residents are being graded on how thorough they are, so they are extremely generous with their time, and the more interesting your situation, the more interested they become to learn more about it. It is totally unlike the for-profit primary cares, where there is a strong economic motive to make profit by seeing you as seldom as possible, and by spending as little time as possible on you when you do come in, because they are paid a flat fee every month to have you on their patient roster whether they see you or not.
