Well I don't have Medicare and still have a high deductible so I only go to the doctor when I really, really need to. That situation occurred in the past week when I couldn't even get out of bed because of the back pain I was having. The morning I woke up vomiting with pain beyond belief I called Colony and much to my surprise they asked if I could be there in 15 minute. I assured them I could and was more than pleasantly surprised by my experience with the PA. She was outstanding - listened, asked questions, wrote a script for the pain and off I went. My only complaint - too much typing on the computer. I go back on Monday for my annual physical and supposedly will see the doc. Curious to see how this will go and if I will actually see a doc or the PA.

My urologist at Duke University Medical Center told me that tethering to the computer is due to requirements imposed by the Affordable Health Care Act. During my last visit, he sat there typing and three times dropped his chin to his chest, groaned, and sighed "Obama Care."
