Of course, it started storming when it was time for us to leave for the Endocrinologist's office this morning. We drove through rain and fog both on the way. We made it there just fine. (Using the GPS on Pretty's phone. ) Coming home was much better. We just had to contend with light fog. We both like the new Endo MUCH better than the old one. He asked when I'd last seen an Ophthalmologist and I told him last year and have an appointment to see the eye specialist again on December 9th. He said that was fine. This guy asked a LOT more questions than the other guy did, then did an examination, looked at the ultrasound of my thyroid my GP ordered last month, checked the prescriptions I'm taking for everything and said everything looked fine to him. He ordered blood tests, which I did before we left his office. If there's anything wrong, he said one of the nurses will call me.

Thank you. I'm hoping I don't hear from them until I need another blood test in six months.

@LadyDuck Thanks... I don't want to drive 124 km just to see a doctor who isn't actively doing anything except talking to me every six months. I have four who do that and they're all in Springfield within a few city blocks of each other but won't allow me to see two of them on the same day.

The doctor we meet makes difference. Some take genuine care while a few seem to be a bit distant. That applies to others too and it hurts when we really need help. I hope all will be fine.

I agree, some genuinely care and want the best for us while others are only using us to collect a paycheck. Thanks. I hope you and your family are all doing well.

I like doctors that actually communicate, that talk and listen to their patients.

Thank you. I was really worried something would go wrong. He's Indian so I had trouble understanding a few words but mostly did fine.
