Aisha,

My GP is really one of my favorites for the following reasons (in no

particular order).

1. She is very quick to find the reasons for a condition, instead of

medicating the symptoms.

2. She is willing to listen to what I have to say, and doesn't take

offense if I have my own opinions.

3. 95% of the time, I'm seen by the doctor on time, or early. No long

waits in the waiting room.

4. She gives you 100% of her time, when you are with her. No

distractions, and no rush to get you out the door.

5. She has an extremely friendly staff, who treat you more like a friend,

than a patient.

.......and to be fair.....the 5 things I didn't like about my least favorite

doctor:

1. He was always late, and behind schedule.

2. He was arrogant. He treated patients like he was very much superior to

them.

3. He was uncaring. The amount of time you had to suffer, before he would

do anything but tell you to " give it some time " , was unreasonable.

4. After reviewing my charts, I saw that he was writing down things like I

had no pain or blood in my urine, when in fact, I did, and told him so.

5. (and most importantly) He lies. After getting some second opinions, I

was able to determine he was selling a lot of bull shit.

Hi Aisha,

All of the qualities about my dr are in the following

poem:

A Wonderful Doctor

By: Kristy Sokoloski

A wonderful doctor is someone who truly cares about

everything that a patient says,

Listens with gentleness,

Who allows you to cry on their shoulder when times are

tough.

A wonderful doctor is someone who has a great deal of

empathy,

Who is willing to receive an occasional hug,

Who is willing to stand there and hold your hand just

before surgery,

Who can teach with a great deal of patience.

A wonderful doctor is someone who is happy to share a

moment of joy when there’s good news to be shared,

Who goes the extra mile to help you find an answer to

a problem.

A wonderful doctor is someone who is compassionate,

Who is gentle and trusthworthy.

I hope that you enjoy this. I gave a copy of this to

my dr (not sure if I said that to when I let her

know how the appt went) and she truly enjoyed it.

Kristy

5 best things about my best doctor:

1) She listened to me

2) She humored me (even when she thought I was being a baby, she went ahead

and did what I asked)

3) She (or her nurse) called me to check up on me when they thought there

was need.

4) She stayed up-to-date on the latest medical journals (I know this because

she occasionally passed some of the journals on to me when they pertained to

me)

5) She would actually help me with insurance problems I had

Kristy,

Those words are so right. It is a wonderful poem. If your doctor fits all

of these, you truly are blessed. I'm going to print it and give to a couple

" doctors " I have been dealing with,if it's ok with you.

Love kely

Kristy,

Medrol is just another form of steroids, like prednisone. It's used alot in

tapering dose packs like for allergic reactions.

[Guest guest]

,

This year is the third time that I've taken the Medrol. It

seems as if I end up taking it every 3 to 5 years. The

last two times I was taking it for my arthritis and as I

say this time it was for the major itching that I ended up

having earlier this year.

I know that it won't be much longer before I'm feeling much

better from these infections but it will be a very slow

process as it always does.

I sent you well wishes in your other note so I will go

ahead and close this one now.

Take care,

Kristy
