I had my annual physical with my family doctor last week. He always says it is time for my next colonoscopy so this time I agreed to get it done. I was happy that he referred me to the specialist who gave me this mild laxative needed to clear the bowels the last time, some 7 years ago.
We have a lot of walk in centres these days where you can go for medical attention, instead of going to your regular doctor. My doctor says they waste the government's money and that he would prefer me to just come see him or go to emergency if necessary. Husband M doesn't agree, he says it takes ages to get an appointment with his doctor. The walk in centres are so convenient with often minimal waiting times. Of course if it is something serious it is better to go to your own doctor.
The good news is that my new blood pressure medicine seems to be working, in fact the doctor says it is a better medicine than my old one, so I was happy to hear that. The old one was recalled recently.

It's important to do check-ups. I prefer a personal contact to a doc I know, but walk-in centres are perhaps good for emergencies. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
We have a few walk in centres here . They are good for tourists.
Nature ist the best doctor---lol!
Praying for your good health.
God bless.
continued good health Christine! You must be doing everything right!!
I don't mind the walk in clinics when you have minor things to take care of. They are very handy. Glad to hear you are well! That is always good news.
Congratulations! It’s always a relief, isn’t it? I’m not looking forward to my colonoscopy too.
It's good to have those walk in clinics especially if it takes so long to see your regular doctor. Just make sure they are competent and licensed.
I hear those aren't very fun. I wouldn't sign up for one unless it was recommended. So I got a few decades at least.
A good medical check-up is a great feeling!!! I am very happy for you Christine! That is wonderful news 💮
trying to get a Drs appointment can sometimes be impossible here as well. not enough doctors for everyone
glad to read the new medication is working :)
Glad your new meds are working. Good luck with the colonoscopy. The medications and preparation seem to be getting less challenging.
There's a pretty healthy wait with our walk ins.
Glad the new meds work. Yikes on the old meds being recalled.
Something I should have done, and keep putting it off. Good news about your blood pressure! :)
Happy you are doing well and feeling well.
Keep up the good work!
Check ups are important … glad yours went well.
All the best Jan
