Moving 2 years ago really wrecked my health plans! I had a doctor in Indy that I loved and made sure to take really good care of me. But, after battling for 6 months to find a new doctor in Columbus that was admitting new patients, I finally stumbled onto Dr. B. He has to have the most quirky personality of any medical doctor. So, a recap of the first visit:
Dr. B: Are you married?
Me: No.
Dr. B: Are you planning on getting married?
Me: No immediate plans but hope to someday. Um, now, I'm getting curious! Why the questions unrelated to my health - IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXAM, not the get to know you phase!
Dr. B: Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: Insert thought! Why is he asking! Yes, but what does this have to do with anything?
Dr. B: Well, I was just trying to see if you were planning on getting pregnant?
Me: Thought, so isn't the correct question, are you planning on getting pregnant?
After mentioning it to my then boyfriend as the weird occurrence at my new doctor, I promptly forgot about the conversation. But, fast forward 18 months later, I am now sick and a stay at the hospital that was a nightmare, when I never did get ahold of my dr. The office kept telling me that he would call and then I just went to the ER too tired and too sick to wait any longer.
When I got out and had the follow-up, I was now no longer livid, but angry enough to bring up the grievance of never getting a call back. Of course, he talked to me for something like 1/2 hour about my complaints and what could he do to make it better. Which at the end of the appt, he gave me another number, maybe his cell, maybe not, but supposedly the number to use if I couldn't get a call back! After the next appointment, he ordered blood tests and then called me that night at 9:30 and left a rambling message about the fact that they were fine and that he noticed that I had a birthday in a month, so happy birthday! That is along with the fact that he always tells me that he thinks that I'm a player if taking care of my health is the indication, WHAT!?!
Today, it wasn't so bad, but a little hilarious. I had joked with my friends that he's not hitting on me, but if he recommends that I start seeing another doctor, then I'll worry. So imagine my surprise and amusement when another doctor walked in...He was there as a study with Dr. B and I wasn't switching doctors, but momentarily, I thought...hmmm
Why do these things happen to me?
