So, in the past six months I've lost nearly every doctor that I see:
Allergy Doctor moved across the country and put another doctor in charge of his (private) practice but will still see patients via Zoom-style meetings. He's over 3,400 miles away, but still maintains the office. Weird, huh?
Doctor #2 suddenly moved to Chicago because his wife wanted to move there. No offense to Chicagoans, but who would want to move there right now?
Doctor #3 (PCP) is giving up his long-time practice out of the blue to work with drug addiction patients.
I just called to make an appointment with my eye doctor and I was told he is "on extended medical leave."
Is anyone else experiencing this bizarre trend? Are doctors "getting out of Dodge" before the SHTF or experiencing side effects from the jabs?
Another possibility is that people are shying away from going anywhere near doctors / hospitals. I don't want to be anywhere near a hospital and I don't want to go anywhere near where they require a mask. Stopped me from eating out in nyc and going to doctors. So, no patients means doctors will move to find them.
I quit going to my doctor because of his COVID stance. I have not been to another doctor.
I have a broken toe right now. I've had a broken one before. I know I'll be fine. Fuck these doctors.
Not sure if your first broken toe messed with your gait, but I’ve had many toe/foot injuries and if you alter your walking pattern to put stress elsewhere one can acquire metatarsalgia “walking on a marble” in ball of foot or neuroma. It’s miserable. So keep walking normal. Endure the pain. Also look for a doctor that doesn’t require anything but your insurance/cash and support them, recommend them.
I mostly walk normal and seek out opportunities to walk. Walking on the concrete is okay, but walking in the grass is hard as it pushes up my toe. When I can't stand it anymore I take some ibuprofen.
Please do some research..can't remember why but it's bad for you.
I had not gone into see a dr since covid crap started as well until last month. Filled out form and form had on it.. select pronouns, almost made me get up and walk out but, stuck it out only because they had the choice to decline to answer, same with covid, it did ask shot 2 shots booster, none and decline to answer.. I selected decline on both. After that appointment, hub came home from vegas next day and lol, drug covid with him (he felt ill and had to get tested before returning to work) and it was hit hard too.. is fine now though.. I on the other hand did not get tested.. no way I was going to be told I was negative.. That man has forgotten how to butter his own toast (running joke with us cuz he is soo use to me doing all the food prep that he was standing there one day with toast and asked me to butter it for him cuz the butter was hard and not working right. lol) and I wasnt gonna leave him home ill all on his own. I am pretty sure covid did try, I had a full on sneezing fit one day and was tired for a few days.
I have my follow up from my blood and all today, they know my hub was ill.. I DARE them to ask me again about vaccine status :P hahah.

Dr. Tom Cowan interviews Dr. Tommy John.
Dr. Tommy John's father is Tommy John, the baseball pitcher who had the famous surgery named after him which replaced a tendon for a ligament and allowed him to pitch again after working extremely hard at rehab. In other words, it was really the hard work and mental state/human spirit of the patient which allowed the surgery to succeed.
He believes in the power of the human spirit and attributes it as the most important part of a successful rehab.

I've also broken a couple of toes, never saw a doc for them. Broke my hand and a bone in my leg and had no choice but to go to the ER. Was told the fibula (leg bone) would need surgery. I said no thanks, just put a cast on it. It healed just fine.
