Why I go there.

[mrissa]

People at my doctor's office I love:

1. My regular doctor, who rocks and is funny and smart and looks like matociquala.
2. The doctor who subbed in for her on maternity leave, who also rocks, and who reads Robin McKinley novels.
3. Brenda, our nurse, who -- wait, maybe you can guess this one! -- rocks.
4. The phlebotomist whose name I never remember, who rocks, and who understands the difference between "afraid of blood" and "prone to fainting."

And now! Today!

5. Nancy in referrals. Who -- sing it with me, kids! -- rocks.

Dealing with medical crap is no fun at all. I'm so very glad that my first line of medical care contains enough rockage for an entire band.

Yay for phlebotomists who understand the difference between "afraid of blood" and "prone to fainting"!

Not that I have any experience lying on the side table staring at the ceiling and waiting for the grey fuzzies to fade. No, of course not. :)

And it's no fun lying on the side table, but it's even worse to have people impatiently explaining to you that it is not scary and they know what they're doing. Which made me less confident in them, not more, because phlebotomists who know what they're doing know that for some people it's not a matter of being scared, it's a matter of a particular valve going shut!

Wow. If they were a band, they'd be Cats Laughing.

-hugs- I curse the fainting and the vertigo for you. :/ I rejoice that you have such a lovely medical team.

I just got my copy of _Shimmer_ and ogled your story. :> Again. You rock your own self, M'ris!
