Hi Michele,
As usual you tell your story so well.
I have lost every doctor I used and appreciated for years. Sadly, they retired or died.
WOW is me! 😅
I am at the mercy of the young doctors affiliated with at the major hospitals in Manhattan.
I'm probably teaching them while they're treating me. LOL!
Mostly I'm talking to their backs while they're filling out insurance details with newest codes.
They are adorable, book smart but overwhelmed with patients flooding NYC hospital offices.
I say this being the proud grandma of one of them. 💚 Bottom line is always listen... but follow your instincts. Age gives us knowledge of our own bodies...hopefully.
