Good morning Rook.

Good morning RC, ARC, Anti, Rook, and those in the process of getting the morning brew.

I hear ya on that Anti, looks like going to the doctor is a thing of the past now. Phone visits (if you can get one) is not going to work too well for me.

It feels like a slow motion collapse of a house of cards.

I agree MsBB, this is such a frustrating situation, because I'm sure not all doctors are handling Covid cases here in Ontario.

Our 17-year-old daughter feels that "these virtual doctor visits' are just a waste of our time."
She suggested yesterday, "what if you have a rash on you thigh or butt, are we supposed to stand on a chair and pull down your pants for the doctor to look at it"?

I'm sure at 17 yrs old the daughter surely knows that it's a very common thing that happens in today's world Dave.

It's called sexting

Anti, that's exactly it. I had a virtual phone visit for BP check... Really??!!! Dr. "Asked me how my BP was".
I wanted to say " you tell me". At this point my neighbor is more of a doctor, at lest her visits are in person.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

I would love to be off the grid. I'm tired of being ripped off by my electric co. They charge more for fees, fines, & other bull snit, than for actual electric use.

My point here is, people are still getting sick with common ailments, but it’s almost impossible now to get medical attention unless you actually go to the hospital ER!

From spending the better part of the day in ER on Boxing Day, I have an urology appt tomorrow sometime-they haven't called, so I'll see if I can set up a phone appt instead of driving for 2 hrs, going near the hospital again.

Heck why do I have to see a specialist anyways?
I have little "Rocky" in a container already.
Not on any meds (took 1 pill only) so I really see it's just a waisted trip for a follow up.
I can say how I feel just as well over the phone as in an office.
Yup Doc. it feels like I took a few kidney shots from Mike Tyson, promise to use the belt the next time I get in the ring.
Drinking lots of fluids, and willing to take a few shots of cranberry juice to speed up the process.

Yep I always put a little piece of toilet paper back there just in case.
