Okay, brace yourselves, but I'm actually feeling hopeful for the freaking first time this year.
Thank you, my friend (you know who you are) for helping me with my individual frustrations. And thank you to the gentleman at the Walgreens who helped me with my generalized anxiety about everything else. Two great men with incomparable empathy and impeccable timing.
And thank you to the first doctor this year (a junior doctor in the practice) who listened, really listened, to how my quality of life has suffered and how no one will help me. He identified two probable new conditions no one had yet caught, and put me on four new medications. He didn't just prescribe them, but also gave me detailed instructions on how to get the best results from each one.
This is how you do it. This is what medical care is supposed to be. Too many practices don't allow doctors enough time with their patients, which means that some patients give up. This is quality of life care.
