This wasn't even one of the
posts I had considered writing yesterday - and so I still have those thoughts
to put together.
When we first moved to Myrtle Creek,
we had looked into a health clinic.
Certainly we wouldn't have to go all the way to Roseburg if a check-up
was needed. In order to establish
credibility, the staff expected a full physical in several visits. Okay, my co-pay is not that outrageous, but
when I am going to the doctor four to six times in one month to create a
doctor/patient relationship, that is ridiculous. I can't afford that! I've been blessed with pretty good
health. I go to the doctors perhaps once
a year. I don't need to go every blessed
week. Needless to say, I did not ever
complete what had been expected.
Because I had gone an entire year
without visitation, I couldn't even get in last year. What the heck? Why had I bothered going through such turmoil
to begin with if it wasn't going to fulfill my needs. I only needed a Z-pack. I can't believe I was able to get in this
year, but once again, I just did not wish to go all the way to Roseburg.
I was interested in the electronic
gadget which has replaced the clipboard and paperwork. It's kind of cool.

It was only this morning that I
noticed the large microphone - a communication device to talk to another party
on the other side of the screen - I'm guessing someone near Mercy Medical
Center in Roseburg.
So that's the reason
for all the visits - I feel like I have single-handedly paid for at least one
of the devices that are used.
