Just curious: do we have any members in this Texas group from Austin?
Not me. From Amarillo. I do have family from Austin area tho. Good luck.
Thanks, lfrd, for taking time to reply. Appreciate your active participation here in the forum.
I live and practice in Marble Falls, which is just west of Austin.
Good to know! Thanks for taking time to reply, Amy.
If you provide support for the vaccine injured and/or for long COVID, please let me know. I will be glad to add the URL for your web site into my list of recommended physicians:
Amy, you might also want to throw your hat into this ring, if you have not already done so:

I live in Austin. Family Medicine MD. I was doing urgent care during COVID, took a sabbatical and now trying out rural ER.
Good to hear from you, Hector! Glad to get your update. Hope you are enjoying the switch to a rural practice.
I’m also curious: are you seeing any changes in attitude (for the better) among the people you encounter at work (both medical professionals and patients), when it comes to issues around vaccines and mandates?
In addition, are you seeing any increase in what you believe to be adverse effects and injuries from the “vaccines”?
Haven’t really brought it up much. I was all fiery and ready for a fight when they wanted me to apply for an exemption at my old job in 2021, and then the whole thing just got quietly dropped. They didn’t take Medicaid/Medicare, so probably just wasn’t worth it. I was one of the only unvaccinated docs, but a larger amount of support staff didn’t, and they were having trouble with retention anyway. Basically wrote a sincere but kinda lame feeling explanation that had to be shoehorned into a religious argument for the new job since they do take Medicaid/Medicare, which was accepted without any questions or comments.
Interesting. Thanks for taking time to share your backstory, Hector. Glad you were able to get an exemption without having to go into battle! 
I live about an hour and a half west of Austin in Fredericksburg. Moved here 2 years ago. Would love to meet some like minded local physicians! Currently practicing as a telehospitalist but really would like to go into private practice focusing on health, just have to figure out how to make it happen.
