The body recovers

I’m feeling much better today. The drugs seem to finally be kicking in and all signs of any fever are gone. It’s been a less that productive week.

I’m a little frustrated with the medical establishment. Doctors don’t use email. So we play phone tag. We’ve left message back and forth a bit, but I still don’t have all my questions answered. If this had been a technical question I needed resolved by Microsoft, I would have had it resolved long ago without stooping to the old fashion telephone.

In a brief discussion with the man, who is still practicing, I asked about email. Between governmental privacy regulations and legal liability concerns, medicine is not coming into the 21st century any time soon.

It just seems so backwards to what I’m used to.
