Well hello my WPPC peeps,
It has been a hot minute since I have posted. So, let us do all the gossip. As many of you know I had a dreadful near death illness which I did survive and of course recently had a surgery that again was gut related. And, as many of you know I now travel with my most recent trip to the continent of Africa. I posted some pictures and had a wonderful time. I walked with the lions, walked with an elephant, saw many animals including two that are rare to see, swam with sharks (in a cage), flew over Victoria Falls and did a night safari as well as 2 additional ones on land and two by water. I am not a curry fan but I had antelope which was good and tried things that are certainly out of my comfort zone. Weather was perfect and I shopped. Shocking I know. Coming up is my yearly trip to see the 93 year old MIL ish in vermont. Just a couple of days for that and then quilting ladies retreat which I painfully have to say I have been doing for about 25 years. Now sure how that is when I am 29. lol. There is another trip for Christmas Markets but different countries in Europe and visit to Poland to see Auschwitz and related historical sites.
I will say Africa was so interesting. I learned about Hektor Peiterson and apartheid. Very intense for sure.
Now for some office news. We are working on our website to make things more streamline. I am now certified for Microneedling which at my age now it is a fight to stop the painful hands of time. This is a new service offered and I am finally set up. I also attended a fellowship at the U of MD which was exciting for women's health and took a course while recovering to be an investigator related to forensic exams. Its doing things I find passion to do for the community and patients as a whole.
So there you are. Finally a catch up. We have added Ron to our roster and remember when calling please follow the prompts as Ashley answers the phone a lot and getting your request done quickly is the goal. Referrals still take a couple of days and prior authorizations are slow thanks to insurances saying NO at every moment and every medication. This I do not like at all.
For now we are all caught up and see everyone soon! Plan a trip even if for the day and embrace the little moments.
Dr. M
