I'm getting a new General Practicioner
Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. I am meeting with a new General Practitioner. My old GP, Dr. Su (I believe Steely Dan wrote a song about him) moved a while back. He sent me a card telling me he moved and I tucked it away for when I might need to go to the doctor. Well, I wanted to get a physical by the end of the year -- but I lost the card. I can't find the doc in the phone book. And, I'm guessing he's moved his office, once again, farther from where I live. I think he's been my GP for about 15 years.
When I was at my Endocrinologist's I asked one of the office gals if they could recommend a GP. The gal in charge suggested the new person. The office gal said, "You'll like her. She's cute."
Well, cute isn't really what I'm looking for in a new doctor. I'm more concerned about knuckle size as I'm certain that at some point the new doc will gain tactile familiarity with my prostate. I'm going to take a long, hard look at her hands when I meet her. I'll just assume she has breasts and pleasant features.

Thanks for that Delmer. I was about to eat lunch, but I think I'll skip it today.

Sorry about that.
To save a few moments at the doctor's office I always remain on my tippy-toes whenever I suspect a prostate exam might rear it's ugly index finger.
