My Adventures in Medicine
Okay, so, I have never actually seen my doctor, but this guy walks in and says, "I see you last saw our Nurse Practioner, Tammy in January." So I agree. I am thinking to myself, "Glad I finally to get meet my Doctor!" So, then he mentions something about Dr. F, my doctor, and paperwork for my surgery. At this point I am confused. Okay, so this is a different doctor.So, he asks my questions about my cold and such and listens to my chest and heart. Then out of the blue, he looks at me seriously and asks this, "So, is your appetite good??" I ALMOST fell off the little patient table thingie in the exam room. Um, do I LOOK like I have a problem with my appetite??? I weigh in at anywhere from 180-200 and am probably on the 200 side right now.
Well, after he writes me FIVE (5) prescriptions, I am getting ready to leave and I was on the doc's phone w/Mom, telling her what was going on and she asked who I saw. So I say, hey doc, what's your name? At this point, he politely tells me that he is a Nurse. (A LNP, licensed nurse practioner)
FOOT IN MOUTH SYNDROME and GENDER DISCRIMINATION ALL IN ONE. Geez, you would think I would know better by now, this is the aughts ya know.
