Glad to read that you are seeing the dentist and having your blood pressure checked, and yes it can be an interesting journey going to the doctor's office. I am seeing currently five doctors for a range of issues (cancer, sleep disorder, eyes, general, heart) and sometimes other specialists as needed. It can be a bit like walking into a fun house when responding when asked for detailed data about my health issues or insurance, but I am so used to this that I just expect delays and plan accordingly. Health issues are things I do not mess with at my age, so I handle them as fast as reasonable to see someone about them. Also, my late wife was an RN who spent decades working with patients in hospitals, and her stories about those who ignored their situations and then died or were disabled because of delays made a lasting impression on me.
My recommendation: just relax and accept it will be an interesting trip every time you visit the doctor's office. Best wishes for good health and a great day! - Al
Thanks, Allen. I was prepared for the worst today and while it definitely had some twists and turns—I’ll update tomorrow—everyone I encountered was friendly and professional. And I feel better knowing I’ve got some caring folks looking out for my best interests in the medical realm. Wishing you good health, kind sir!
