I Just Want an Answer to My Question

trip-004.jpgThere’s something peaceful about the ocean in the early morning don’t you think?

No, I’m not anywhere near the ocean either, I was just looking at pictures from my trip last summer and thinking about how nice it would be to be on the beach listening to the water.

My mixed feelings towards doctors continue…my oncologist retired and I don’t like her replacement. She of course had every right to retire, and I hope she enjoys her retirement. I highly doubt that I’ll ever find a doctor I respected and appreciated as much as her. The doctor she referred her patients to had hard shoes to fill, and at least in my case, he hasn’t done much to ease any of my fears about the change. I refuse to be an in-out patient. If the doctor can’t take more than 5 minutes with me for an appointment, then what’s the point? When I asked a question (gasp how dare I!) about diastolic blood pressure he looked at me like I’d grown two heads. He never did answer it either. And so I’ll be looking for a new doctor, and I may actually leave the clinic and pick one from the provider list at work. It just seems so sad to me. I should be the expert on my body and how it reacts to this and that and it would seem to me that my doctor and I should be working together.

    i’m sort of thinking about changing doctors too. i had a really nice one and then she moved away. then i sort of got stuck with a gestapo-type doctor, but since she became a mother she has been nicer i admit. but still…
