i hate going to my doctor

i've been going to this doctor(B) for about 6 years now, more so for convenience sake. i went to doctor(A) for 15 years previous until she decided to move her practice downtown. a friend who had doctor(A) still goes to her because she says doctor(B) killed her grandmother. i know a few other people who have doctor(B) as their physician and don't really respect her all that much.

today at my internship i suddenly felt dizzy. it's been a while since i've felt a dizziness so bad that it turned my vision blurry for a good minute. my mum picked me up and took me to my doctor. she ordered a blood test.. as usual. and that blood test will surely come back saying my iron is low. surprise, surprise. anyway, i asked my doctor for a note because if i still felt really dizzy by the afternoon that i wouldn't go to my midterm today. she wrote on her prescription pad "i assessed reena in my office today. feb 8/06" she signed it, stamped it. yeah, i can't really give that in to my prof now can i. luckily for me i was only feeling light-headed in the afternoon, so i headed off to my midterm.

Along with iron, you should be very careful that you're getting your B12... it's a dangerous deficiency that doesn't show up for a long time. But maybe you knew that. :P

I wouldn't want you to develop a severe nervous twitch or start wearing a tinfoil hat and know I could've said something. :)
