visit to the doctor



painless and efficient. at a walk-in clinic. without an appointment. this is so bizarre! did hell freeze over?

actually, i know the reason why everything went so smoothly. i went mega-early. 8am. the first non-appointment on the list. i had a wait of around 20 minutes and then i was led into a room. blood pressure/temperature taken. five minutes after that, a doctor walked in and chatted about my various neglected problems. this took all of twenty minutes. then ten minutes later, i had blood drawn. then i waited around ten more minutes for a follow-up from the doctor and a referral to two specialists.

gone are the days of waiting over an hour to be spoken to. gone are the days of "hey, take a tylenol, and come back later." i was actually diagnosed for one issue, and will have it removed tomorrow by a specialist. then on tuesday i see another specialist for another problem of mine, and he will be running tests on me.

i was out the door at 10am and at work by 10:15am.

screw my old clinic. screw waiting four weeks for a specialist. yay!
