Why I Love My ND

Quick little humorous post for you.  

There are many, many reasons why I love my Naturopathic Doctor.  Not the least of which is that she is THE ONLY physician who has never once tried to deceive me in one way or another.  No ulterior motives here!  At least not ones that she doesn't disclose right away!

Anyway, yesterday I was at her office and she was writing up an order for me to go get labs drawn (see yesterday's post for a little more info on that.)  She wanted to CC the results to my obstetrician's office so they wouldn't duplicate any tests unnecessarily when I go in tomorrow for my glucose test.  However, the space provided on the lab order to CC someone in was very tiny, and my OB's office has a really long name.  

So Women's Healthcare Associates became Women's Healthcare Ass.  

"I really ran out of room!" My ND said, looking at me with wide eyes behind her glasses.  Which made me laugh even more, because she's just so adorable.

I forgot to mention in yesterday's post about the medical stuff about my blood pressure.  Every time I'm in my OB's office, they take my blood pressure when I've just been weighed.  Going on the scale is very anxiety-provoking for me, so naturally my blood pressure is higher when they take it, no more than 30 seconds later.  High blood pressure for me is like 110/70 though.  Yesterday, my resting blood pressure was 86/50!  Now THAT sounds more like me! ;)

  1. I'm exactly the same way with my BP. I usually run around 85/60. Last week I was at 110/85.
