I'm at the hospital for a routine PCP appointment. Ask me anything.

Cox has given us 3 hours or less Intertubes connectivity at home each day for the last 3 days -- all VERY
early in the morning.

I may or may not have announced that my COBRA insurance (thus ALL my health insurance) was going
to run out Dec 5th. That was based on an erroneous letter from my ex-place of employment. The
insurance company contacted me and let me know I'm covered until Jan 6th.

... as nothing maor is going on. They've told me they would admit me without insurance
with my symptoms/problems just as if I had insurance -- no difference.

I tried virtually everything that crossed my path short of needles (my time as a medic cured
me of that long before I ever gave them a try).
.
PCP is the one thing that scared the shit out of me while doing it. With all my experience and
"worldly knowledge", I thought I was literally falling into a psychotic hole from which I would
not be able to find my way back.

It's the one thing where I can DEFINITELY say... "BIG FUCKING MISTAKE, DUDE!!!"

I live in the wrong state. I need to go get a doctor's profile for some of this.
