Doctors

[kiya]

So my old doctor who was fantastic left the practice (for good reasons and I expect she will be wildly successful). Among other things, like cheering wildly and miming waving pompoms when I said something chronic is under control, she spotted me reading Michael Howard occultism at one appointment and made 'Oh, yeah, that' noises.

I had an appointment with New Doctor this week, because the office hit a point of "We have not counted your TSH for too long, we are cutting you off your meds if you don't let us inspect your blood" and that is the sort of thing that makes one scrape together enough executive function to get one's ass into the office.

Perfectly amiable encounter, and somewhere in there she said, "Oh, you've got your Evil Eye bead."

I am currently wearing a nazar bead on a bit of yarn as a necklace.

So apparently I just go to the esoteric practice.

I told you, I think, that when I first walked in there (it's not up any more), I looked at the office, and they had a large calligraphy piece up with a Maimonides quote. I was very 'This is the sort of religious content I want in my medical office'.

(I forget which quote, but it was one suitable to a medical office.)
