Since there has been so much talk about COVID, I thought I would talk about our Family Doctor. Before I start, I'd like to mention my thoughts on Doctors in general. Some of them really piss me off. It only takes me about a minute to assess if they truly care about you or if they just see you as their next "BOAT PAYMENT". I've actually gone to some Specialist and I walk in and start to tell them my symptoms and they immediately say, "You've got Konkus of the Boncus or some other Bullshit, and say take this medicine." Now, as to my Family Doctor. I'm amazed at how much he knows about just about every malady known to man. His approach to medicine is very scientific but at the same time, he does not automatically poo poo people's use of home remedies. We have been going to him for at least 25 years and he has become pretty much a family friend. How many Doctors will give you their Home Phone Number? I have several friends who are Doctors (one is a Ham Radio Operator) and I know how frustrating it can be for them to be relaxing at home and some dipshit calls them at home to talk about something that belongs in the office. I have had to call my Doctor at home twice and the first thing I do is ask for forgiveness for calling him at home because I am very aware that their down time is very important to them. Normally, a routine Doctors visit takes about 15 minutes but the wife and I have actually had visits that lasted for up to 45 minutes because he takes the time to explain everything in detail and sometimes he'll even tell us all about his latest vacation. I feel special because he cares what we think about his life just as much as he cares about our life. I've even gotten him to do a bit of PREPPING and have given him about 10 ounces of Silver, a minimalist Bug Out Bag, and a couple of pre programmed Bao Feng HT's so he can monitor what's going on and also communicate with his family members on the MURS band when this all go to crap. I told him that Hell would freeze over before I take the Vaccine because I don't trust the Government so he told me to use hand sanitizer, take a daily dose of Vitamin D, Vitamin, C, and Zinc. So far, so good. If you have a relationship with your family Doctor like that, I truly think you are fortunate.
