What's up, Doc?

posted by mihow on June 25th, 2003

I have a doctor’s appointment today. Actually, because of our lovely health care system, I wasn’t able to get a “doctor” to see me until the end of September so I had to settle on a nurse practitioner. I stand corrected, I have a nurse practitioner’s appointment today. Damn HMOs. At this point I would rather pay full price to see a doctor if I were assured she’d take me more seriously. I’m tired of the Wal Mart style in practicing medicine. I have little faith.

There are some work things I must catch up on in order for me to leave for a few hours this afternoon. I’ll post more shortly.

    I saw a nurse practitioner instead of my real doctor for what must have been about 4 years. She was the best. So much better than all the real doctors at this one practice.

    She use to work at a woman’s clinic in the city, and told me this crazy story of pulling a handgun out of a woman’s vagina. She was no joke.

    Maybe she will be cool?

    The thought crossed my mind, that she’d be cool and really into what she does which is, I guess why, I agreed to it. :]

    We’ll see, eh?

    A gun? What the hell? Damn.

    yeah she was so hardcore but so damn nice and patient. The best doctor i had ever seen. Even weirder is that she was also rachels doctor and we didn’t even know it until about a year later.

    and for the record, YES, she was also my doctor, but that NO, that gun story was not about me.
