@frouke HEY FROUKE I feel the same way. Passed up the PHYSICAL AND BLOOD WORK and LECTURE this year. ONCE a year is ENOUGH. Insulin dependent diabetic for 31 years and it works. Now neuropathy in both legs, take MOTRIN, refused double knee surgery, and recently GASTROPARESES...no solid food but liquid works okay.
AM eighty one this past JUNE....Thanks for the encouragement, we all need that and the PRAYERS if you so can. I will do the same...MargaretO

@frouke That’s exactly how I feel! Even my primary care Dr. has been getting edgy with me! So much has changed, since COVID! I don’t recognize”The good ole USA”, anymore, where medical pro staffs used to say “How can I help you, and do you need my advice on an ailment that may be concerning you?” Instead, like just this last week, I had recently been diagnosed with Arterial Fibrillation, after a very scary episode, where I felt like my heart was flip flopping in my chest, and the primary doctor said, “Well, at least you could feel something happening! What about those people, where they have a-fib, but don’t feel anything going on in the chest?” I could express other similar encounters, but, the bottom line, is that, at least where I live, I get the impression that medical pros are tired of dealing with elderly people, on Medicare!
