the dreaded doctor visit

THE DREADED DOCTOR VISIT 
yesterday i said good by to my job as a practicing family
physician
im leaving not because i want to but because genetics has
bit me in the ass
no one knows yet that yesterday was my last day
not my nurse, not my patients, not my fellow partners, not
the administration
no one got to say good bye to me
thats the way i wanted it

today i meet with a neurologist to review my neuro-
psychological testing that was done so that i can enter
studies in the universities azlheimers research area

i entered this to be a control subject in their study
a control subject is some one who does not have a disease
who is followed along with patients who have the disease
it looks like i might be a subject now  not a control subject

i knew when i went there originally that i had noticed some
subltle changes
no one else had noticed these changes  but i had
not even my wife she has noticed any changes

if you know me or met me you would not notice anything
(except i couldnt remember your name
a long problem i have had for 30 years)

it appears that those subtle changes are present and those
changes  will probably make me not want to work anymore
as they could interfere with my ability to practice medicine

wonder if and when my mom noticed these changes
how long before we noticed her  symptoms did this happen
to her

what about my close relative who was working
did he notice these changes months to years before
others noticed them
when did his wife notice them
when did they begin to interfere with his work

next the followup to the neurology visit
