Today is my check up with my doctor. I’m always embarrassed to be seen sitting in the waiting area, because I’m always the youngest patient there. I feel that, unlike the other patients waiting with me, I have no right to waste the doctor’s time because I’m still quite young to complain about high blood pressure, etc. That unlike the others, it’s not old age but unhealthy lifestyle that put me there in the first place.
I am soo not looking forward to telling my doc why I was worse than the last time when I had my check up, when he lectured me on what to eat and on what to do to get healthy. Definitely not looking forward to admitting that everything he said was followed only a couple of weeks!
That is why I’m really fired up to get well this time. I definitely don’t want to show my face in his office again. Not that he’s a bad doctor, far from it. He’s great, gives you a lot of confidence in his abilities and knows how to talk to his patients without sounding condescending. Just don’t want to see him, because it means I suck at following simple orders. Period.
