PCP update

[baronessekat]

So this morning at 9:30 I call my PCP to see if I can get a medication adjustment for my breathing. I tell the receptionist that I don't know if she can call something in or if she wants to see me. It would make sense to me if she wanted to see me since a) we are talking asthma and breathing issues and b) I haven't had a check up in almost 2 years.

I get put on hold while said receptionist consults with the MD. She comes back "is Dr. H the only one you see for your asthma?" "Yes" muffled mumbling. "She wants to talk to you and will call you. Can I have a number she can reach you at?" I give my work number.

So now I sit in limbo waiting for her to call. I know she has a busy practice and I know she keeps weird office hours so who knows when I will hear from her. It will be my luck that she does phone calls at like 10pmand will try calling me then.

Oh well. Step one was made.

You took the first step. Can't expect to go sprinting off from a block. A step is still very important

I have a question that I fear will reveal the ignorant Canadian in me....what's a PCP?

Other than that, it sounds like you're trying, which is infinitely better than not trying.

PCP = Primary Care Provider. One's personal physician who can then refer one to specialists and stuff.

I confess, my first thought on seeing it was, "Dude, PCP at work is a BAD idea."
