Kelly is unfortunately right about many doctors.
I've finally acquired a set with whom I am quite happy. My funniest acquisition was a new GYN, my old one having retired. She was recommended to me by a surgeon. The surgeon is Jewish. (He wears his yarlmuka in the office.) He recommended Parveen Rasheed. She is a Muslim from Pakistan.
Only in America !!
My next visit will be to a rheumatologist whom I have not yet seen, sort of. I went to grammar school with him. I'm taking our third grade class pictures. In third grade he was VERY impressed with me - because I could throw a spiral pass with a full sized football.
And yes, Lisa, the doc could see me because the info was in her computer.
