My doctor rocks

[figment]

Another good thing that happened today is that my doctor worked a minor miracle for me. She'd given me the names and numbers of some other doctors I might be able to see for a second opinion, and told me to call her if I had trouble making an appointment. Well, I did have trouble making an appointment ("oh, not before October 18th..." "How is November 20th for you?") so I called my doctor. She called the other doctors and sure enough, today someone called me back and got me in for next Monday, the 24th. How's that for service?

Conveniently enough the other doctor's office is near the hospital where I am going to have my surgery, so I will be able to go there and pick up a medical directive form, too.
