On the recommendation of Bonny from this forum I saw Dr. Fish in Leesburg and was very happy with his expertise and his background. He did something at Walter Reed, fellowship or internship.
Great experience with this doctor.
I had to go to Lake Imaging for the tests and it is part of The Health Care Alliance (Leesburg Hospital and Sharon Morse, our Villages hospital).
The two women techs, the ultrasound and the nuclear, both were grown up, easily over 55. Did things right, explained the tests, were cheerful and helpful and polite and anything you could want.
BUT....I just have to say this. I have gone to Doctors and stuff all of my life but I have NEVER been in such a cushy waiting room and changing rooms as those at Lake Imaging.. My dears, it had BEAUTIFUL pictures and lovely furniture and not only were the magazines from this decade and NOT all Field and Stream, but they had FOUR from this month and year.
Excellent.  |
Gracie,
I know EXACTLY what you mean about those techs' ages. Maybe I should not feel this way, but I always feel a little better when they are closer to my age. I try not to be like that, but I just AM. And in the area of TV, there should be lots and lots of wonderful experience available to hire.
A few years ago, I was visiting someone at a Cincinnati hospital. There was a nurse working there (of a certain age) who was wearing a starched white uniform (a dress), white stockings, white shoes, and her cap. -- I think maybe those nurses' caps indicated their School of Nursing. I don't know if nursing school grads even get caps anymore.
I told her how much I liked seeing that look. And I asked her if it made her patients feel better.
She told me that her "more mature" patients really appreciated it, but that many of her patients had never seen a nurse dressed that way.
I gotta tellya -- if I had worked my tail off for one of those caps, like the girls in my high school class who went to those tough nursing schools like they had in those days,
welllll, I would wear that cap everywhere I went.
And, of course, I had to ask her if she also had a cape.
(Ohhhhh, why oh why do I admit knowing this kind of stuff. Geez.)
Anyway, I sure do digress....but I am glad you had a good experience there and I hope everything turns out well.
