I had my first appointment today with the new PCP that will be my medical ally in the weeks and months after surgery.
This might sound a bit strange but I can tell if the new Doctor is a good match for me by how high or low my blood pressure is at her office.
My last PCP, who I had fired after being so incompetent with my tests,tests results and guidance, is now completely out of the picture. Yeah! My blood pressure in that incompetents office was always high....always. I always felt like my bp was trying to tell me something.
Well anyway today at my first visit with my new PCP my bp was 120/74. Perfect, she said!
Guess my inner being likes her!
She also gave me some much needed reasurance about the chest X-ray. She said she does want to follow up with it over the summer after I feel well enough to have a cat scan, but in her opinion, 90% of these types of shadows are nothing.
After spending a good 30-40 minutes with me, I left her office to find an over full waiting room. Apparently she spent some extra time with me and put herself behind schedule. I was grateful for her time, questions, assurances and concern.
I do think that I may have found a great Match!
