America uses the alphabet instead of words for medical situations.
“Do you have OCPD? I have UTI. We’ll do your DEET test in 45 days.” And e verybody knows what these letters stand for. Of course, with the barrage of drug commercials on TV, I guess it’s easy to learn. It just so happens that I read more than watch TV, unless a ball is involved. Then I’m glued to the set.
I go the my GP next week and I think I’ll have this dialogue with her.
“My UTI is fine and the session of OCPD is over. My EKG had good results and the Heart Monitor did not fall off. (Guess I’ll watch a bit of TV to get some more letters I can throw at her).
Going to and from a heart specialist today, I realised that I actually like using public transportation. It’s easy to look around on both sides of the road, read signs, watch people and see what they are wearing or carrying. And I love the sense of moving.
It’s so easy to use buses. No stress, comfortable, don’t have to look for correct turn off or entrances/exits to malls —-It’s stress free, short and sweet, no maintenance fees, no garage visits and no getting gas. I always hated that part!! And I can read on the bus, daydream, plan, and recharge.
I’m in no hurry to buy a car.
