I've had first dates that were more physical than this physical

Yesterday I went in for my pre-op physical to ensure I am able to have surgery next week.  The doctor took my pulse, blood pressure, and listened to my heart.  Strangers on public transportation during rush hour were more thorough.

She spent the rest of the hour telling me how confused she is by the lectures on Lyme.  Didn't you go to school for 8 years to not be confused?  She meant well.  It was nice that she looked into Lyme.  I appreciate that effort I am sure she billed insurance for.  But then again - that is her job.  Her job is to figure out what the hell is wrong with me.  Endless possibilities I know.

When attempting to understand a disease why is she reading lectures?  Call me crazy, but I would read some studies.  Crazy.  Also, where did you go to school that reading a lecture is too confusing for you?  I have a disease ravaging my brain and I can still make it through a study.

As someone who has trouble recalling words, let me help you out doc.  The word you were looking for was: conflicting.  You read conflicting accounts of Lyme disease.  Is chronic Lyme real or is it not?  To be or not to be.  That is the question.

From previous doctor appointments I knew where this was headed.  She was about to break up with me.  I cut her off and reminded her that I have had every test in the book.  I have had countless vials of blood drawn.  I played her game.  I saw specialists.  Yet after all of that the only thing I have tested positive for is Lyme.  Like a man she smelled my desperation.  She broke up with me.

After the PICC line is inserted on the 9th she will no longer see me as a patient.  She gave me the 'Its not you its me', which in the medical field is, 'I can't see you due to legal ramifications and insurance',
