My Family Doctor
So I decided to go off to the doctor’s this morning and get that note so I can get the ergo chair at work. I figured I’d get the note whether I actually go for the chair or not – just to be safe.
I got to the clinic around 10:00, the place was already packed. I put my name in, they told me it would be at least an hour’s wait, so I headed off to Wimpy’s and had some breakfast.
That only took about half an hour so I walked down the plaza to Rogers and rented a movie. I hope I haven’t seen it already.
I went back to the doctor’s office, put on my iPod and waited another half hour til they took me into the doctor’s office (aka little waiting room), where I waited another 15 minutes.
Then a doctor came in. I said, “where’s my family doctor?” and this female doctor said, “this is a clinic, you see all the doctors”.
I said, “no, the other doctor asked me if I’d like her to be my family doctor. So what was that all about if I’m just going to see any doctor?” This doctor said, “would you like me to get her for you?” and I said, “no, I have no intention of waiting any longer”, to which she walked out and I sat there waiting for my ‘family’ doctor.
I got my note. I left.
But WyTF is it that her assistant asked if I’d like her to be my family doctor, and since then, every time I’ve gone there, I’ve seen some other doctor? Just what is this family doctor thing?
After two hours of my time I then went and strolled through Costco. I thought the walking might be good for my back, and I almost bought a couple of things. That is, until I saw the line up at the cash.
I’m afraid I spent a little too much time already today, waiting. I wasn’t about to wait any more. I left the stuff in the cart and walked.

I hate going to the doctor. Every time they seem distracted, distracted by the latest boat they are going to covet, or somesuch. Never really interested in my health, that would be a good thing for a doctor to be interested in. Or perhaps the latest research not how they have always used leeches, and so leeches they still have , in a jar, leeches, I hate going to the doctor, Leeches.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
Have you heard of ratedrs.com?
I think that is what it is called.
I finally fired my MD and found one that gave a shit using it.
I REALLY like my new guy and the way they run the clinic. I was afraid of the assistants at the old clinic.
