Today I saw a smoker with anxiety, high blood pressure, diabetes and a blood clotting problem. She just got laid off and won’t have coverage through her husband’s Senior’s Blue Cross anymore due to @shandro and his cruel cuts. #morethantenminutes #ABdocs4patients
She was especially worried because her husband is sick too, and asked if I would see him from the waiting room. I brought him in and did a thorough assessment. #morethantenminutes
I counselled another patient about sexual intimacy. We needed to do a pelvic exam. #morethantenminutes
Next, a checkup with a smoker with diabetes and high BP, needs a pap. Her sugar is up because her meds are upstairs. She is living in her daughter’s home to care for her granddaughter after her daughter was in a terrible MVC. She finds the stairs hard. #morethantenminutes
Next up, a routine refill. Wrong. Patient laid off after thirty years. Emotional support takes #morethantenminutes
Patient off work with multiple medical issues. Needs disability forms filled out. She broke down and cried, while apologizing because she is usually the one who holds things together. #morethantenminutes
