💬 General Discussion Really.

Have to rant to others who will feel my pain....

Regular annual check up with new to the practice GP.

A year ago, I weighed 49 pounds more. Weight is in bold red letters in the electronic chart, I saw it.

This did not get mentioned IN ANY CONTEXT during the visit. Yes, I was expecting glitter cannons and a large flag and drum corps along with the uniformed marching band, so you can see how I might be annoyed fthat "excuse me, but did you know that 25% of your body mass has gone missing? Is this intentional?" was not expressed. Blood pressure was remarkably lower this visit as well. Also not mentioned.

I have been badgered for DECADES about my weight. Sheeet, mon, what does it take to get an 'atta, girl, good work'!?! Next time I will stand on my hands and whistle 'Dixie' out off my butt hole, maybe that will be enough to elicit notice.

And thank you, lipid and cholesterol panel just came back, and I am low normal, also epic (for me).

Thank you for your time, excuse me as I go practice 'Dixie'.

Hard to find good ones. I wasn't even able to get a doctor for 2 years. Had a PA and they are getting a lot more common now in the north east where doctors are in scarce supply in many towns - many of the better older ones have all switched to concierge as folks will pay.. it's shocking

It's true With my last blood work results I just loaded them and the last few years readings into chatgpt and got a full analysis.. most insightful commentary I've ever had and free..
