Furthermore: suppose I’m correct about some of my accusations? For instance: they ask if you’ve had any “ major “ weight gains or loses? Why ask? Why not look at the history? Besides, what is “ major “ if I normally weight 220 lbs is 20 lbs major? Suppose you weight 120 and the next time you visit the doctor you weigh 100 lbs. Does the nurse and or doctor need an app that alerts them to “ pay attention “?
Less common is your height. They never ask if there’s any major changes in height? That said, at my last visit the nurse took vitals and called out the numbers not for someone else writing things down but my guess was so I could hear the numbers. She calls out 5’10” I think WHAT???? I’ve been 6’1” since my freshman year in high school! 5’10”?!?!? WTF? But who noticed? Not the nurse, not the doctor, no one noticed or asked or checked the math. I’m saying this because I honestly believe that there are aspects of modern medicine that happen because WE THE PATIENTS ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN!
My artist mind was running wild. : next time I’m coming in as a woman or black, one of my artist cohorts who would love to do performance art with me ( she taught me everything I know about performance art ) would be the perfect person to bring me in on a leash dressed as The Shaggy Dog “ I sincerely wonder if any of these idiots with a sheep skin on the wall would notice? Maybe I could convince them that I herded the sheep that produced their diploma... and oh BTW I lived in another life time and invented the printing press; yes, I’m in fact Gutenberg
Can you tell that I’m ANGRY!!! Yes, ANGER is a consequence of low D, so are Rickets, bone cracks bone softness, pain, digestive problems vision problems and you can read about it if you are interested. But Doc D
( no joke D is the first initial of his last name and I call him: “ Doc D “ ( should I write it in red pencil? HA! )

Since Mayo Clinic provided me with lots of information about the D deficiency I decided to call them Tuesday morning and not knowing absolutely which field of specialty would deal with D deficiency I did my best to explain why I was calling. It’s nice and easy to ask for urology, or oncology, or any other well known field of expertise but what is a vitamin doctor called? Seriously I found 2 suggestions: endocrinologist or hematology. Let’s listen to the tape of the person who answered the phone early on Tuesday morning. I wonder if Mayo would be proud of her phone presence phone manners, bedside manner, my frustration on a daily basis with rude inept, crude, less than compassionate people who got a good paying job should be fired on the spot and recorded for all potential phone jockies just to give them an idea of what will not be tolerated.
I can not put a number on my pain level today. Living alone does have its down side.
I am wondering if there is a name for this kind of crying that happens to me everyday. The warrior who served his country does not want to call in “ crying “ I’m not making the crying sounds that if someone could hear me they would say : “ that man is crying “ I don’t feel sad for myself it’s plain and simple PAIN I know how to buck up to pain. It’s not that it’s below me to holler out and cry in that traditional wailing. But this isn’t that. This is just pain that brings tears to my eyes. I’m not embarrassed by them I just don’t know if they have a special name.
Sorry, I’m rambling again
