A Confidence Booster: Healthcare Away From Home

I am spending the holidays at my farm in Wisconsin.  The second day here, I broke out in an itchy rash unrelieved by Benadryl.  Fortunately, I was able to make an appointment as a new patient with a primary care practice in our little town.  Yes, I had to fill out the paperwork of 2010.  Yes, everything was done on computer rather than a paper chart. Happily, it was a wonderful appointment with caring, interest, discussion and engagement.  All in all, a great doctor’s visit that helped me while traveling and also boosted my confidence that healthcare delivery is NOT going down the tubes.
