Winter of My Discontent

TURN YOUR HEAD
I went to the doctor's today to get a clean bill of health so I'll be eligible to get private health insurance at the end of the month. Maybe "eligible" isn't the right word? "Afford"? If I can evidence I am *currently* in good health, then, as I understand it, I should be able to afford private health insurance. I was seen by a 4th year medical student who spent 30 (!) minutes with me getting my history and conducting her exam. By the time my regular doctor conducted her exam, I'd been there a total of an hour. That's impressive. (I love my GP and Gyn; they're both no-sh*t women.) My blood pressure was normal (for me), weight unchanged. I felt a little foolish going without cause, especially since they spent so much time with me. But both the student and my GP took it very seriously and were sympathetic to my request.
