I just had a blood labs test done at the local Mayo Family Clinic which was originally scheduled for March and postponed due to COVID-19. My annual exam is scheduled for next Tuesday at the Family Clinic. I was quite surprised at the COVID overkill for the appointment which should really alleviate any fears one would have. Before I went I answered five questionnaires online (one or two COVID related), then when I got to the clinic I was greeted at the door and asked all of the questions again, had my temperature taken, did the hand sanitizer routine and entered the building where the receptionist asked me the same COVID questions again. Happy to see wearing a mask was a requirement and people were seating socially distant 🙂 I also saw maintenance folks with a tape measure rearranging chairs and tables. Really looking forward to my doctors appointment next Tuesday. I've already made a list of questions to take with me about ongoing health problems. Sigh...not looking forward to getting a new doctor who I'm sure will be introduced to me by my pcp Tuesday. It's all about change and the unknown - I like the doctor I have and what will the next one be like. Thank you Mayo Clinic Connect for making me a better advocate for my own health, part of which is communicating with your doctor 🙂
