I'm not too sure about this new physician.

I know I'm not comfortable around her. She seems to listen and then blow off what I've said because it doesn't fit her medical experience.

I have 2 more appointments set - one for bloodwork and one for a routine EKG and she will be at both. If the energy between us doesn't change, I'll start searching for someone new. I know I'll have a long chat with my therapist about her and some of the things she said.
I was going to mow the lawn but I'm drained so it's off to bed I go.

As a side note, I'm being swarmed by kidcats, right now. I guess they know their mom needs some comforting.

the majority here to switch to someone you are comfortable with, but don't ditch her until you have someone new.
