I never went back to him again. It was unprofessional, and I can find a new neurologist that will treat me with respect. Even physicians get the run around when they become patients. It is hard to be a patient...even harder when you don't know what you are getting yourself into, so educate yourself!
Second bold...ahhh, Alaska!

There was such a huge difference in the city (Anchorage/Fairbanks) and the tiny clinics that serve a huge region. Did I get good care? Yes, it was amazing, you have to be a jack of all trades, master of none, and you can't be a d-bag because of how small the community is. I'm not looking forward to getting sick when I'm in the field this summer, but if I do I know Family Medical Center in Delta Junction is going to follow up, see me even if they are swamped or about to close (my site was 30+ miles away and I had no car), and deal with my out of state insurance hassle.

I have a healthy glow, it is called what I was born with. It is the perfect genetic recombination of all my background and God created me the way I need to be and it doesn't involve me harming myself or staining my clothes. Jesus Christ Super Star people, LOVE THE SKIN YOU CAME IN.
