At least until the first Tuesday in June. Then it's back to the retinal guy.
I got to thinking about my stable of doctors last night. Twice a year I see my oncologist and cardio doc. Dr Poison I really look forward to because I can get a read on the blood thingy that shows if there is a cancer present. Cardio doc is just to check on blood pressure. I think he is just feathering his retirement nest. My heart is fine - has been - still is.
Every month, and it will be through my life, is the retinal specialist. Once you have wet macular degeneration, the treatment is every month. Then, once again, twice a year or more often is the regular ophthalmologist to keep an eye (hahahaha) on the glaucoma.
The dentist wants my teeth cleaned every four months. Nope.
Now I have once again added the dermatologist. My mom died at 57 from melanoma. I want body scans. So that is yearly.
I DID have a kidney doc, but when he told me I didn't have kidney disease. So I cut him out.
I don't have a GP. The one I had doesn't take Medicare which I had then. Still don't have one.
I have an ear doc, but I don't have to use him regularly.
Too many!

You don't even need a GP. If anything was wrong, he'd just send you to a specialist anyway. My
GP wants me to come in every three months--I told him I'd be in every six months, but...it's been almost a year, LOL. The Cardiologist said I was in great shape. The hospital notifies me when it is time for a mammogram. Who needs the GP? I do go to him--to get my prescriptions renewed.
