    I don’t know how she called it but today is my day. No problems but I hate the blood test.

    You call THAT playing doctor? What about making him wait two hours before she gives him a referral to a specialist?

    But her bedside manner is more fun. “Take one belly blow and call me in the morning”

    I assumed the wellness visit was to be administered by Dr. Janis.

    “Wellness Visit” is a Medicare term, very technical. Janis isn’t interested in the technicalities.

    2021 Study: “The study surveyed 1,000 U.S. men ages 18 years and above and found that, in the past year, almost half (45%) had not visited a family doctor or general practitioner for an annual wellness visit or checkup.” Main reason? The Dr. might tell me I have medical problems.

    Is this the first time we’ve received an official hint of their age? We’ve wondered for years about their “work”, or lack thereof. Years ago I remember them both talking about their jobs, but since then no mention of work, but plenty of free time. I also remember Janis fussing about gray hairs. What comes next? Gray hair for Arlo? Meg graduating high school? Gus passing on?Another question, if they’re retired why doesn’t Jimmy “arc” some stories about them sailing in their boat? And I always worry about how the kids are doing? ;o)

    About eight years ago, I thought that I would stop going for the wellness visits because they took too much time away from work at the office. Now, I’m glad that I decided to go that day. That’s all I’ll say.

    As it was explained to me, the annual wellness visit is something required by Medicare. I never saw any purpose to it, just the same questions my doctor asks me anyway. More intrusion into our lives by the gummint!

    I’d take Dr. Janis over Dr. Fournier for the exam part, maybe not for the diagnosis and treatment though….jest sayin’!

    My mom failed her EKG today and has to spend the night in hospital for observation. I have a “wellness” check tomorrow that I am dreading so much I feel sick to my stomach.

    Must have pitched in and done the cleaning after all a couple days back, or how would he have gotten Janis to play doctor in a nurse’s uniform?

    So I’m lying in a room at a local hospital on a cold stainless steel table completely naked except for a thin white sheet waiting on my heart doctor to arrive to perform a heart catherization. There are several medical folks standing around chit chatting when all of the sudden a phone on the wall starts ringing. I raise up a little and in a shaky voice ask," Is that the governor"? It got a pretty good laugh.

    Now Arlo remember….no hanky-panky if your checkup includes the PSA! It could screw up the results!!!

    Reminds me of a party pastime in the ‘your place or mine’ 70s: Drinking tequila from someone’s navel. Nowadays that sounds so un-hygienic. And impossible if it’s an outie.

    Nope… don’t trust hospitals/doctors/nurses. All they are is a business designed to mug you legally.

    I have met some men who had prostate cancer metastasize, and they are going to die. I had a lady Doctor,and she detected my cancer so early,it didn’t show up on one of their several tests. I feel badly for those poor macho types who refused to get the exam. Get a Lady Doctor. Cancer is an ugly ,painful way to die!

    Unfortunately where procedures are done can make a big difference in how one feels about going. My mom has heart trouble. My sister is her primary caretaker and until Covid came along, we were her schleppers – taking her to doctors and such as we only work VERY part time and my sister still works full time.

    We have taken mom a couple of times to get scanned for blood clots. The doctor’s office is a shared office with other heart doctors – he is the only one who does vein work – and is located at an outpatient facility of a large hospital chain. First time we went appointment was made with wrong doctor – one of the non-vein ones and then it was only for vein related problems – and we had to wait in the waiting room an hour and a half before we found out. My sister (BIL goes to this doctor) screamed at them on the phone and they were able to fit my mom in – 3 hours later. So we took out to Barnes and Nobles to spend time. They also could not understand why a woman in a wheelchair could not “hop up” onto the table on which the test will be done . She is very definitely in pain often during the scans.

    This past October I had bad muscle spasm in my leg which took over a month to completely go away. (Leg muscle spams are common to me since a virus in my leg as a child – but not of any extended duration.) In reading about leg spasms I read that a blood clot in the leg could seem to be a spasm and went to our doctor. (A normal doctor with his own office and staff.) He had the same concern as I did – but did not think it was other a spasm. So off we went for what I figured would be painful process a local radiology lab. Totally different than mom’s scans. Waited less than 10 minutes to go in. Table was more than low enough for even mom to get onto easily from wheelchair. No pain at all.

    I really wish mom could go there instead – but the other doctor is the hero who saved my BIL’s life and she has to go there to the office from heck.
