PMH in Toronto assigns a nurse practitioner to every patient undergoing rads. mine was awesome though I only saw her three times. (if I had needed her I would have seen her more) mostly she dealt with peg issues... But she also worked out of the rads clinic there. She was a great go between at first when I had issues with my rads guy. But he definitely tried to cut her out of the picture when she tried to advocate for me. I realized this was causing a problem for her so I apologized and dealt with him myself. It would be better if the practitioner was provided for you from outside the facility. That way they could be impartial without repercussions. But they are a great help.
