I like my physician. When I moved from New Jersey to Massachusetts it took me months to find a primary. Once I found one it was almost a year before I got in for an appointment. Luckily my wait was worth it. My Dr. is smart, kind and responsive. I went earlier today for my annual and learned two things......1) it is better to be overweight and active than skinny and inactive. 2) I am doing pretty well for my age. Check, check. Have a good evening.
I told myself that I would never fall into the pharmacy pill game as my parents had years ago. My dad took 19 medications, some to counter act the side effects of others he was taking. I thought I had beat the system until my doctors started retiring and the whipper snappers (how old do I sound) got a hold of me Sheila Anderson …

Hi Myrl. I'm sorry you don't have a great Dr. now. I get what you are saying. TY Sheila
Hi Endre. You were lucky. When I moved to MA. most Dr.'s here were not accepting new patients. It was a hard time. I like my dentist as well. TY Sheila
I am glad that you have found a doctor that you like and that you are doing well healthwise! I found a doctor that I like, but now he is retiring, haha. Luckily, I haven't really needed a doctor and hopefully never will have to rely heavily on one.

Hi Brian. I certainly wish you well, but the time to find a doctor is before you need one. :) TY Sheila
Hello Sheila - finding and feeling comfortable with any but definitely your primary care physician is especially important.

Good for you Shelia, My Dr. is so so sometimes, he looks at his computer to much but that the way young Drs. do it.

Hi again Will. I have a woman and she makes great eye contact and listens. TY Sheila
What you learned is something I have known going to appointments with my mom, who sadly, is too skinny and inactive. And she's lost about nine pounds since the beginning of November. It's scary how thin she is. I'll take my extra weight and activity level any day of the week over having a too thin issue.

Thank you Chris Ann. I hope your Mon gains some weight but in her stateI'm sure it isn't anything she cares about. TY Sheila
Check and CHECK! I'm so glad to hear your appointment went well and that you loved the doc - that is SO important, Sheila. When mine retires, I have sworn that I'll never visit another one! I've been with him for 35+ years and cannot imagine anyone ever being able to fill his massive shoes.
