Another Day, Another Doctor

I am going to visit a new doctor today. This will be #30 as counted in this blog (but #32 actually, as I left out two in the initial count).

This guy -so far- seems a little bit different: First of all, he called me before the initial appointment, asked many questions about my condition and spoke to me at length. He asked me to send him copies of bloodwork and other tests for review before the appointment.

...and  then  ...THEN he said he thought he might be able to figure out the problem.

WOW!

Most doctors just look at me -like I'm mental (although maybe he was doing that -hard to tell over the phone) and tell me to see ...someone else (doesn't matter who. ANYONE but them!)

But this guy... He said he had some ideas. 

I kinda wish he hadn't said that.

Because now my old stalker: Hope, has been all over me like a rash.

Maybe this guy will be the one to make Hope finally go away?

Or maybe he will have the answer?

I feel right now this guy is my last shot. I know that probably isn't logical, but feelings seldom are.

I will let you know...

Is it wrong if Hope's com round my place talking about you as well?

I do hope he's able to step away from the standard/common & come up with some ideas to try. Hope may be here, but she's not foolish, she knows it'll take a few trys & guesses to sort things out.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Dee:

Hope is an evil butcher
That perches on your heart
and just when you've found some peace
Hope hacks it all apart

And sweet it whispers in your ear
even while performing your ablutions
"You can beat this, my dear
Just try Oslo Health Solutions"

I've seen it is my credit rating
and the consequences thereof
And so, as far as I'm concerned
Hope can just fuck off.

Well!

I have heard tell of doctors who actually do some research and have some curiosity and want to help their most difficult patients. Maybe you have found one of these rarities. Be sure to get a picture. We'll post it on one of those websites that feature Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.

(Doing what I can to keep hope from getting uppity)

I love yanub's post!

OSM...I know that feeling, too. I just had hope dashed, really hard, onto the sidewalk of my psyche, it fractured into many shards that continue to rake over my heart with sharp edges. I know what you mean. Doctors do that to us. If they only knew the power they hold.

I think they "think" they are really something, egos all puffed out, but what they are lies more in the realm of hope giver, hope dasher, belief-in-the-medical-system crusher!

Not all docs...like yanub said, maybe you are a cryptologist and have found an undiscovered species!!!!

Let us know how it went. I pray that this one works out! Miracles do happen!

love and hugs

Guys,
thanks for all the comments. I owe proper replies -and an update, but have been kind of floored by exhaustion the past day or so.
