Doctor Search

I've been seeing my General Practitioner, Dr. O'Connor since May of 1982. That's when I had my appendix removed. He was the guy I saw. Probably because he came up in the rotation. He's probably the one constant I have had in my life...other than Mom.

I got a letter from his office yesterday saying they are closing the office due to the effects of the pandemic. I know he's been getting close to retirement but when I have asked him, he has said he plans to go a few more years.

So now I need to find a new Doctor. I called Kaiser, my health insurance provider to see if they have doctors on their staff. They sent me an e-mail of Doc's and Physician Assistants who are taking on new patients. I've scanned through the list and chosen one to try.

I don't have any good reason for picking him other than he's fairly young but he's been in the game for a while. I don't want to pick another doctor down the road. I want to die in this guys arms..I mean, care.
