Thinking with Al

I've been gone

because I had a knee replaced.  Thinking about it I note that while my orthopedic surgeon did a great job on the knee, and my internist referred me, noone in the medical community looked after the "whole me".  I had some intestinal issues.  "Not my job" was the general response I got. 

So I wonder -- is it this way for most people?  Do they think a medical professional gives a hoot about anything but his or her special part of a procedure?
