Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I was disheartened to learn of DR Jeanne's issues with her health provider.  When I lived in Oakland, I could usually get an appointment within 10 days for any health need I had.  There was a vast network of medical offices available there, including Kaiser.

Where I am now, I still get tended to, but it can sometimes be months before an appointment can be made with VA.  They do give me the option of Community Care, which means if they cannot see me within a three-month window, they will find me a practitioner in a nearby town or city. 

Sadly, many of these folks are also backed up, appointment-wise because they carry heavier patient loads than they used to.



Jane mentioned that a number of primary care doctors have retired. Not surprising, given Covid. My PCP told me last week that he can work me in, which was an option I never knew was available. I took him up on it and now have an appointment for next month.

I often have the impression that the people making the policies are assuming that most patients are young and don't need to see their doctor very often. That is just not the case for many seniors. We have chronic ailments and need regular care. I question whether the business models are set up for that.

What I am seeing first-hand is a nursing shortage, prompted by Covid. I hope that more people will be motivated to pursue nursing, as there was a nationwide shortage even before Covid.

I am glad your doctor got you in sooner. 

I keep reading about a shortage in Washington due to lower wages and patient overload.

I'm glad he got me in, too. But was this an option all along and I just didn't know it? I've had to wait almost three months to see him at times, which is just too long. I don't like to ask for special favors, but I'm getting the impression that, with them at least, it pays to be pushy.



Them.  Your doctor is non-binary?

I've just been informed that I've been admitted to the Rancho Gordo heirloom bean club. I've been on the waiting list for about a year.


Dare I ask what that is?

BK, I know yesterday was Wednesday, and I will forget my next Wednesday (or even tomorrow), so I must ask now.

It is already March, and I know nothing about the new book, not even the title.  Did I miss all the info while I was recovering, or is it still a state secret?

Thank you.  I didn’t think I was that out of it.
