Finally A Doctor That Earned His Qualifications For a while now I�ve been comparing the difference between convenience and quality. Quality wins over for sure. I haven�t really had a regular doctor for the past 10 years or so, I just tend to go to whoever whenever. When I was a kid I�d go to Mum�s doctor up the street but he has limited open hours (and fair enough, it�s his practice and he�s the only doctor there) and I find that he�s always closed when I get home from work or want to go before work. There is a medical centre on the corner just up from Mum�s doctor and they are open longer. I�m pretty sure I�m a hypochondriac but I do tend to get sick a lot (thanks to my bout of glandular fever that gutted my immune system) and at the moment tonsillitis is my body�s favourite disease to contract. When I was younger I never had tonsillitis, it�s only the last two years that I�ve started to get it. I had it 6 times last and year and right now I�m going for my 4th bout this year. It just gets a little ridiculous when you keep saying to your doctor that you think you should have them out and he says no it�s nothing to worry about and only if you get it more than 12 times in a year is it worth it to have them removed. I know they are part of your immune system or something but as someone put it they�re poisoning you! I seem to get more sicknesses now than before I got tonsillitis. I left work early yesterday so that I could get to Mum�s doctor before 6 o�clock. I made it with half and hour to spare and as I walked in his office his brain must have been ticking over thinking what does she think is wrong now? Considering the last time I�d been there had been Saturday it was a fair assessment. I gave him my self diagnosis and he was happy to confirm that. He then said if I get it again he�ll send me to a specialist to assess if I need them out. Then he asked if I snore. Do I ever! I never used to, just the last few years. Hello connection! Apparently my recent foray into the snoring world is caused by my tonsils. So if I get them removed I�ll stop snoring. I�m sure the foundations of the house will be happy to know that I work be rocking them at night anymore. This doctor is really good cause he talks to you about what is wrong and doesn�t just give you a prescription and tell you to go away like the bulk billing a patient-a-minute people on the corner. He gave me a repeat for it too so that if it comes back again I can just go straight to the chemist to get my dosage. Three cheers for Dr Mistry! Tyd 15 August 2002 - 10:39 am |
