During the visit I was repeatedly asked about five times if I had diabetes, which the answer wasn’t gonna change after the first time. He wrote what he told me to look up, on a Band-Aid. His assistant told me to take off my shoes, I was wearing flip-flops so I’m sitting there with my feet on the dirty cold floor and waited almost an hour for him to come in from that point I just didn’t really think that I needed to put my feet on the cold dirty floor to wait for him mostly considering all I had On were special flip-flops that are arches vionic I really thought after the shot he might set me up for therapy mostly because when I did look it up, that was something that would be good for this problem I know he was busy and I’m sure he was stressed because I had to wait that long, he kept mentioning that he doesn’t know me. he told me not to walk on the beach my exercise and I make things with Shark Teeth and other fossils that I sell.
Absolutely wonderful experience! After not getting anywhere with my previous doctor, I finally feel like there is a good plan in place and relief is on the way! Bethany is also awesome!!
