Writers meeting, nothing special. At noon went down and started setting up the auditorium for the dress rehearsal of the broadway show. It went ok, not too many flubs. Of course I have half a dozen notes on changes to make to the video. Tomorrow.
I’ve been messaging back and forth with my PCP trying to get some action on the renal cyst. On Monday she referred me to a urologist I’d seen before. Today his scheduler called, first opening would be 10/13, a month ahead. I said forget it, and messaged PCP again, saying, please just refer me to Dr. Tamrazi, the interventional radiologist who drained the cyst back in 2021. I don’t need to talk to a urologist about the cyst.
Then I fumed for a while and thought about what Joanne does. Joanne pays a monthly fee to be a client of a “concierge” medical practice. Meaning your doctor is on call. Although not necessarily any better seeing specialists. But I’m thinking seriously about it. I’ve been a client of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation since the 70s, when they were that organization. Somewhere in the oughts they were bought by Sutter Health. Maybe time to part ways.
Had on of my Dead Guy Ales with dinner. I am not accustomed to alcohol any more. Ready to pass out now.
