Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Hil, I hope the p-doc can figure something out.
Dana, much ~ma for your grandmother.
In other news, I've got the tell-tale pre-flareup ache in my wrists and hands. Not that there's ever a good time for this, but now is really not a good time for it.
Well, the pulmonary doctor doesn't have any appointments available until late January. There's another medical group in the area that has a few pulmonologists, but my experience there has been similar -- new patients have to wait to see specialists. I guess I'll give it another day or two, and if I'm not doing any better, I'll try for an appointment with the other group.
Jeepers, Hil, that's nuts. I can't even deal with the idea of an ill person having to wait for WEEKS to see a doctor.

Well, I can see A doctor. I can get in to see my primary care doctor generally within a day after I call, and sometimes that same day. It's just the specialists where I've got to wait.

After all, that only happens with socialist medicine.
Hil, WTF.

I had an appointment to see a doctor in Durham this morning, but I had to cancel, because I couldn't find my zipcard, and no zipcard, no Zipcar. On the plus side, Zipcar canceled my reservation with no fuss, and they're mailing me a new card, and the doctor's office at Duke rescheduled my appointment without a fee (so nice!)
Also, new co-worker lives a few blocks away and works the same schedule as I do, and just offered to carpool with me. No more two buses to work, hooray!
So I came in to work on time this morning unexpectedly because I canceled that doctor's appointment, and I'm leaving early because I unexpectedly made another one, with my GP. Seems my Horrible Head Wound From France(TM) has gotten infected again when I wasn't looking. (I'm never looking. It's on the back of my head, covered by a ton of hair.) Anyway, it's suddenly THERE again, and my doctor, wisely, wants to see it. I hope it's not MRSA. I fear the MRSA.

The practice I go to is a Geisinger clinic, which is one of the systems (along with Keiser Permanente, Intermountain, and the Mayo Clinic) usually pointed to as examples of what we should try to do with health care reform.
Group Health which I go to also. So glad this is the direction we are going instead of single payer health. Cause with single payer health we might run into waiting lists and red tape.
Hil,
what you might want to do if you haven't already, is see if you can get on a first available waiting list with the specialist. Sometimes openings show up and they call you to see if you can make it.
