Question : I have several problems with my health ! I am not sure what kind of doctor should I look for now. I am thinking Internal medicine. I need to find a doctor in El Centro Calif. I have had knee replacements but get staph infections at least 8 times. I have had several pic lines which they have required in hospital up to 6 weeks!
