One of the things that is always stressful, especially when you move to a new location, is finding a new doctor. When we moved to NJ, I finally got some decent health insurance and started to go to a new doctor who, after two visits in a calendar year, asked, "Are you a hypochondriac?" Apparently, I was wayyyy too healthy to be going to see him more than once a decade.
Carly hasn't bothered to find a general practitioner for her general health care, as she gets her fill of the medical profession with annual pap smears, her knee surgery, and so on. Nevermind none of those guys managed to check her blood or her liver or anything, she's fine. FINE! FINE, I SAY!
So, the process of finding a proper OBGYN for the eventual babymaking business is it's own kind of adventure. Carly doesn't want to get a particular strain of female doctor because she's concerned that the doctor will be part of the CRAZIES, and will tell her that she can't sit near open doors or look at cats. She wants an old school, grizzled old man doctor who will smoke and drink to steady his hands when he goes for the specula. Kind of like the doctor from Battlestar Galactica.
Going through the lists in our insurance plan, we're just amazed at how many doctors have unfortunate names. For example:
- Doctor Lawyer
- Doctor Fleischhacker
- Doctor Doctor
And it made me wonder, how many doctors have even worse names? I thought of a few potential horrifying Germanic names for OBGYNs, but the only one I saw fit to print is this one:
DOCTOR KUNTZGRABER.
And that should do it for today.
