Relax. This is likely my last blog on my adventures in the field of medicine.
I had my first check up with my new doctor the other afternoon.
All in all, it wasn't bad.
First, there was a stack of forms that needed to be filled out. I then handed over my records from my ex-doctor, who closed his practice at the beginning of August. A nurse and I went over some history. The doctor and I went over some more history.
While I'm suffering from a little separation anxiety, I think I can deal with the new guy. His office does things a little differently. It's nothing major and I can easily get used to it.
After a flu shot and a tetanus shot (hadn't had one of those in decades), and a slip for some blood work, I was on my way. I'll have the blood drawn at a lab in a couple days. With any luck, there's nothing bad swimming around in there, like excessive cholesterol.
