Today was my dreaded annual wellness exam with a new doctor.
The place was a veritable woman-factory with a large sign on the wall saying
they didn't carry medical malpractice insurance in accordance with Florida
law. That seems to be the new trends these days with malpractice
insurance skyrocketing. I was happy that I wasn't going there for any
major procedure.
When I met the doctor finally, I liked him immediately.
He had a confident, easy manner. He did give me the "Omg, you're so
old and will have retarded kids if you don't hurry" lecture. Part of
me was offended because he didn't believe me when I said I wasn't planning
on any, and part of me respected him for letting his patients know the
risks. Mostly, I just wanted to be done with the whole thing
already. He asked me a zillion health questions and repeatedly asked
if I actually had a problem like it wasn't believable that I didn't. I
was also asked repeatedly about all of the meds I was on. When I said
none but the Imitrex as needed, that wasn't received as credible either
apparently. What is wrong with our society these days? Does
everyone have major problems requiring major meds? Drink lots of
water for the medical win, imo!!
