Me to PCP on virtual visit: “Doc, my neck is killing me, can you give me a physical therapy referral?”
PCP: “We can’t assess this over the phone, why don’t you come in?”
Me to PCP, 2 weeks later: “So about that PT referral?”
PCP: “I think you need to see the spine specialist.”
Me: “I knew you would say that. I have an appointment booked. He’s unavailable until October.”
PCP: “I really think he needs to be the one determining this referral.”
Fuck this. Sent a message to my migraine specialist, saying the neck pain was ramping up my migraines. And this morning I have a referral for PT.
My migraine specialist is a different breed of doctor and I am in love with him. Again, not homewrecker in love, just the I stan him harder than Swifties or BTS army kind of love.
