I saw my new pdoc the other day, she was with a younger resident clinician
I was in there for 2 hours! Phil was mad since he drove me there and had to wait
out in Hummie so he could smoke.
The younger doctor asked me all the questions, even had a notebook dedicated to me
I never felt so special. I tried to come across optimistic, but it’s not always easy,
I was very honest about everything.
The only real concern was my blood pressure, it was 165 over 101, it was done electronically.
I called my GP nurse, and she said come in tomorrow and I’ll take it again. When I did, she used a stethescope, and it read 115 over 80. She said I had white coat syndrome, and I can go home now.
I called her back and told her I didn’t think I was getting good care here. Phil said I was going overboard and they can refuse to see me again. I don’t know, by now, I could have any ailment, maybe it’s my paranoia talking. Anyway, thanks for reading this.
I’ll see my pdoc again in 2 months. She told me to take propranolol as needed. I think I"ll take it in the morning to stop racing heart.
