We put up our tree!

Also we have snow now.

I hate you snow.

I got to meet my new doctor. I am picky on doctors and sad I had to pick a new one. I really liked my old doctor and she was the only woman doctor that I liked. Usually women doctors I have found do not have compassion especially female things. But my old doctor did. I swear Thedacare has gone down on health care because they made me reschedule this appointment three times which I hate! Not only do they NOT apologize I ran out of my prescriptions and it’s their fault. Like with my arm took FOREVER to see anyone about it as well. Really grinds my gears! Grrr!

Forget about asking questions on the website they never get back to you. I also hate calling then talking to the nurses any of them. They make me feel dumb or I have to repeat everything. Or they take forever to give me information. Not sure what is up with that.

So I had to pick a new doctor and I knew I didn’t want a female because of what I stated before. I got the only male they had available and he is younger then me, thought that was funny. Not funny I thought my new doctor attitude was flat and he said some dumb things. I thought that form you have to fill out the doctor had to look at it. Even more so when you are new. I am going to say they don’t have too.

He was checking my back and said “you have a swollen spot here.” I am thinking ‘no I don’t’. I told him I had scoliosis surgery and have two metal bars fused to my spine. And he was “Oh when did you have that done?” I am thinking look at my form! With my back one side pokes out more then the other. That is just me.

I have acid re flux disease had it for years. He literally drew me a picture on how it works. I am not that dumb I know how it works and what can become of having this disease. Also on my form it tells how long I have had this disease. It takes a minute to look over the form. Why even fill out that thing out if the doctor isn’t even going to look at it?

My appointment was a physical so I was surprised he didn’t check my chest. I thought they had to do that to check for lumps and things. I didn’t even get undress he checked my legs and ask “Do they get swollen?” Which the answer is no. Just strange he didn’t check my chest though.

I even asked him questions he was matter of factly with me. I hate that tone. I am not a doctor so I don’t know some things like terms and such. I like well this or that and this what this means. The only thing I do know is what I have wrong with me for years. But when I ask questions just say don’t have a tone with me. Explain things so I can easily understand. I hate when doctors do that. I understand you went to school and you are smart but no one likes going to see you so make it a little pleasant. Is that too much to ask? I think not.

In my opinion some of the nicest doctors are the ones I encounter in Fast Care. Some are so nice they even take the time to explain and show me a picture where on my body they are talking about. However ER doctors are the rudest I have encounter. I even had one ER doctor yell at me. So yeah my opinion on doctors is the not the greatest. It has been ever since my seeing so many doctors for my back. Then the surgeon pinching both of my nerves in my back. Also doctors upon doctors for variety of things. Being clumsy AND having asthma to going to the ER. I don’t really like doctors. So when I find a nice one I hang on for a long time! Miss my last doctor. She was so nice and felt comfortable asking her questions. Now I have matter of factly doctor who actually he said to one my questions was “I don’t know.” Which I followed up with “Can you find out?” He said he will and he did. At least he did.

Oh well hopefully I only have to see him once a year.
