Dr. Day

Yes, I moved to Arizona over a year ago, but does that mean I have to change doctors, especially when I work for an airline? I think not!

I only see most of my doctors on an annual basis anyway, and it is so hard to find ones you like, so this year I put them all on the same day: Dentist, Optometrist, Primary Care and Gynecologist, in that order. It worked out great. I could have only taken one day off from work at the law firm, but instead I took 2 (Mon and Tues) as well as 2 from the airline (Sat and Sun). It was nice to have some time off (especially considering the circumstances).

Anyway, I made sure that my insurance would cover all my SLC doctors and flew up and back for free. I made all my appts on Tuesday, because that is a low travel day and it is easy to get on flights. It works out really well.

I am going to find a primary care physician down here though. I don't have a choice. Mine is moving to Dallas. It is one thing to fly to a city you used to live in to see your doctor, but it is a little to stalker to fly to the city they are moving to so you can continue to see them! I have chosen to suck it up and look for a new doctor here, besides I have had a few instances when it would have been nice to have a doc here in AZ.

I todl Jason you have a bunch of Dr. to see and he was blown away when I started listing some that I knew you had gone to in the past- although the list you gave and the list I gave are different.

It is true that the list of Drs I have seen throughout my life is rediculously long. Luckily now I am just like everyone else as far as yearly maintanence goes!
