karen the lioness, aloha again

good to hear from you.

sometimes the chase for a new and caring and hip doctor is worth all effort it takes.

i had to beg his office for an appointment; finally said ...'hey look i'm a cash customer,
you don't have to wait for insurance to pay you and what i want is a second opinion...
and don't worry about the distance, i'm the one doing the driving and buying the gas.'

btw he gave me a 30% discount on my bill...and after his 'second opinion' he decided
i was in such poor shape he couldn't turn me away...so...ya never know.
oh...and his receptionist booked me the last appointment of the day; he ended up
giving me an hour and forty minutes of his time and reviewed every piece of my records...and explained evry term and nuance...(he's also the only one to compare
before and after blood tests from my indocin-gastric event and tell me how close i came
to dying)...then he got sick and i moved to his partner/buddy.)

keep trying and good luck
all my best
