Virtual doctors…

Okay. So. I don’t mind virtual appointments in general, especially when they are follow up appointments or when I need to see my specialist who is more than two hours away. In those cases, virtual doctor visits are helpful. I don’t have to burn gas and I can get medical care I need.

I do mind them when I feel like crap and could use some actual intervention, (I.e. a shot of toradol, etc.). I have been sick with gastrointestinal symptoms for going on four days now and I now have a pounding headache. If I could keep something down for the headache, I’d take it, but water is a challenge at this point. I feel awful.

Also, the doctor they scheduled me with is very… strange. I’ve only seen her one time before so I’m willing to give her the benefit of an off day, but she was really odd. Just her bedside manner was rough and I was not really a fan. I am not looking forward to trying to negotiate with her virtually, especially because I have the meds I need, I just can’t get them down. Not something she can really help me with in a virtual visit.

Kind of a waste of time if you ask me, but what do I know?

I’m just frustrated because I feel crappy and I want to feel better. That’s all this is.

Oh well.
