So, I really need a doctor. I went from my pediatrician, to my university health center, to.... urgent care centers, the ER, and hope. I haven't seen a doctor for a regular check up since I was under the age of 18. Sadly, since I am now old as @*!&, that was about a decade ago. I've also had a few things that I've wanted to discuss with a doctor for a while now so this month I made it my goal to find one.
I found one! It didn't actually take a lot of work. Alex really likes the medical group he goes to (and they've been pretty good to him through all the care he has needed) so I decided to go with the same place. They have 7 doctors on staff so I selected the one with the highest rating. She's an internist, not a family practitioner, which I prefer because they specialize solely in adult care and are much better at diagnostics than family practitioners. I have some odd issues that need diagnosing so I need a good detective! Her patients seem to really like her for that reason.
So I spent some annoying hours on the phone with my health insurance company to switch over my PCP and get a new card and now I officially have a doctor! I set up my checkup but her next available appointment is in mid-May so unfortunately I can't say that I'm all set quite yet. But the wheels are in motion. I'm hoping that 10 years without a physical hasn't been a poor decision on my part. Perfect health... perfect health...
