There have been a few times during my career as a CPA where I have joined with a group of my client's fellow advisers and we have come up with some solution to a problem or maybe there wasn't a problem, but we have been proactive in developing a plan for our client's benefit. Often the group included me, an investment advisor, a tax attorney, an estate planning attorney, an insurance advisor, and a handful of others...
and at the end of the day (or months), when we had solved a problem for our client, I always felt this great sense of accomplishment, and I was proud of our work, and it made all of the boring tax returns worth it...
so here's my plan...I'm going to get one of those police vans, you know the big white ones...and I'm going to make various stops around town, picking up a few doctors I know...namely, my oncologist, my neurologist, my rheumatologist, my primary care physician, and my therapist - just because I think she will keep everyone focused...
then I'm going to padlock them into a comfortable conference room...from there they will have full access to my medical records, they can invite any doctors, they can order any tests on me, I will provide a full liquid diet as I was provided in the hospital, and they can have access to any medical research...
and there they will discuss my medical records, as a group, finding commonalities, or maybe none....but they will discuss...and work as a team for five days (the length of time I spent in the hospital for meningitis)...
And when I awake from this dream, I will be healed and frolicking in a meadow of bluebonnets...but a girl can dream...

I'll be part of your swat team. Just tell me when and where!
I have too many "ologists" in my life too. They only look out for their speciality and have blinders on for anything else. It is soooo frustrating. Good luck.
