I guess because of the new rules and Obama care issues my primary doctor, who just turned 60 years old, decided to quit. I don’t blame him, he’s got enough in savings for him and his wife to comfortable live for the rest of his life so why not. I happy as heck for him… but, he could have told his existing patients.

My wife called the other day and said his line just went to voice mail with no, “if this is an emergency… ” which had always been there. Also, his second line was disconnected. Today she called back and a receptionist picked up and said, oh he retired and a new doctor took over his patients. Oh really? Without consulting me or letting me know? How unprofessional is that? In my opinion that took some nerve… great to retire but let me know and ask if it’s OK to put me with another doctor.

Well I understand Obamacare is going to effect a lot of people. I’ve tried to make head-or-tails out of it and see some good things and some bad. It’s shaking up the entire healthcare system but I’m not sure if that is a bad thing. I think sometimes things need shaken up to see how everything lands. We hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Me losing my doctor of 10 years or so bothers me. I really liked Brian Ingelright. Good doctor and very easy to understand, but I wish him a great retirement. I’m sure he’s worked hard for what he has and deserves a rest. “Good Golfing”  my doctor! You’ll be missed in your profession.
