Don’t trust a doctor under 40 unless you know them well.
I’ve been using the VA since 2016. In that time I’ve had ONE actual MD see me. All other visits have been with Nurse Practitioners.
Not complaining, just stating my experience. They’re taking good care of me, no complaints. All have been female.
I did my OWN doctorin’ last Friday, though. I was in town getting groceries, when I was doubled over in pain. Took myself to the ER and self-diagnosed that I was passing a kidney stone. Four later, it was all over, but it was awful!
Can’t imagine what life is like for people that have little to no medical care.
At the rate were going, we’ll all learn soon enough. :(
I knew there was a reason to choose Doctors trained in China or India. I had back to back primary care from a husband and wife from Kenya. Their English was hard to understand, but they took the time to be understood. The Wife was hired first, and she was beautiful, lithe and petite. She also had a personality that brought joy. A year later, the clinic hired her Husband, he was more business like, until I told him about his wife, who had moved on to a specific practice. He lit up like a christmas tree. He talked about her and their life while he went about business. Show me and AA doctor born in the US who could be described like those two?
Excellent treatment for kidney stones. Good job!
Can’t figure out how this Typo happened!
him = themselves
I’d call that unusual.
LOL! I grew up watching Granny and her ‘home remedies.’ ;)
When I was visiting relatives in Alabama, I had my first taste of homemade Moonshine. That stuff could peel paint!
“Beverly Hillbillies” was the gateway drug to the full-on acid trip of “Green Acres”.
