Why, did something I said make you think I need one?
Everyone seems to think I need one, too. Just because I'm anxious, nervous and depressed. And I talk about Zombies...

Your PCP sounds like our GP (General Practitioner) who s the first port of call and deals with anything that doesn't need to see a Specialist/Consultant at the hospital. It's getting increasingly difficult to get home visits which means that when you go for your routine smear test you may be sitting in the waiting room next to an adult with bad 'flu or a child with scarlet fever or chicken pox - really healthy!What about your psychiatrist, GC? LOL (just kidding)
I have had the same PCP for 20 years. He is in a stand alone practice with 1 other doctor, and 2 NPs. You can get in to see the NP the same day if you have the flu or something when you need treated right away. That is less expensive than going to Med Express, where you have to pay the "specialist" copay. My cardioligist is in a stand alone facility with 4 or 5 others. The same with my gyne. It has only been in the past several years that our hospital opened a couple clinic type places were you can go for bloodwork, xrays, and recently they added PCPs and also some specialists to the clinic.

Actually I think that's partly right - you SHOULD just throw the whole thing away, LOL!
I have a Doctor, my PCP who oversees my Cardiologist and whose office helps with scheduling my mammograms, etc. I was able to choose her.
In the spirit of this thread, I hate okra.

An evil and wrong vegetable if ever there was one CLofN.
Okra has been a favorite of mine since childhood.
Fried okra and gumbo are wonderful. However my picky husband calls it slimy snot and eschews anything with okra...he has no class!

It should have been left in Africa.
When I was a sprog, babies got free (compulsory) cod liver oil (and orange juice as well but that's another story). Apparently, as a baby, I used to smack my lips in delight when Mother came at me with the spoonful of CLO!really oily tasting fish (cod liver oil flavor),
