There have been times that I have had a doctor I liked and wanted to keep. Then I changed jobs….
Now, I have Kaiser. There is a huge Kaiser medical center in town, and each time I require something simple like a prescription I have to go there.
Today I went to the huge four story ultra-complex multiple building-named-after-a-tree center for the routine female tests. I was in and out in less than an hour. I find this amazing, after the three hour visits that were actually fifteen minute visits surrounded by long waits for the doctor/nurse practitioner to enter the room….
I have come to appreciate the conveyor belt approach to medicine. The days of the family doctor who knows you since you’re two months old are nostalgic history. Viva la HMO. I was back to work in no time.

Good to see you back up–your site that is.
i hope that whatever caused your trip to the ER is under control.
As for the scale level of poor and poor enough, it is in a constant state of flux - you do qualify for a year- then you don’t- without you making any changes!
I hope you are well! it is good to see your site back up!
take care

My site hasn’t been down. Someone emailed me the a while back about it being down - I checked and deleted a goofy file, and she had to refresh to see it again. I suspect your cookie expired and refreshed the page.
