I’ve already written about our family doctor leaving us with no doctor and the hassles which have ensued. Well I’d called the insurance benefits people and they led me to the list of approved doctors in our insurance plan.
Now our old doctor is a D.O. which means that he is Osteopath, these doctors go to medical school but learn a more holistic approach to medicine.
I found a new doctor with the D.O. designation and set an appointment for today for each Dale and me.
We were both a little concerned today, we are seeing too many people our age and younger in the Obits. Not Good. Then I was looking up the address of the new Doc and saw that he had 4 comments; 2 bad and 2 great.
We were actually so impressed with the new doctor. For me he was very concerned about the lung problems I’d had in ’84 so ordered up some x-rays for a baseline. He read them while I was there and found nothing wrong. Also did the EKG for a baseline since heart disease runs in the family and read the results while I was there. He sat and answered questions and just discussed our general health much like our old doctor did.
So finally we have a new family doctor who seems to be good. The only problem I have is that my arm is sore from the flu/pneumonia shot they gave me.
