I met my new primary care physician yesterday. For privacy reasons he shall be known only by his initials, DM, MD. He is a ...oh jeez, one of those things that reads the same forward and backward,...I am having a senior moment, and it's lasting a long long time.
Well, anyway, I haven't had a primary care doctor I liked for a few years. Since my last favorite one got "promoted" to administration full time, I switched to another doctor that I didn't care for as much. Inertia kept me from seeking out a new one. Then she left town.
Goodbye!! Farewell!! Adieu! Adios!
It took a while to get in to see DMMD but I had a couple recommendations that I trusted, that he might be "the one." He is!
Here are things I like about my new doctor:
He knows his stuff. And he figured out quickly that I know my stuff, too.
He is direct and does not mince words. (He asked me what my natural hair color is, for example, when trying to figure out what my risk for skin cancer is. When I said "gray" he didn't laugh. He just said, "and before that?")
He has 2 degrees in Forestry and likes hiking.
He asked me nice questions about non-medical things like what I like to do in my spare time.
He told me a little about his family.
He has a blog!
He isn't going to make me come back for 6 months. That I really like.
He's a Palindrome!
