I had an appointment with my new primary care physician today. My old doctor closed his practice, He knew I am tg and helped me with many issues I had in the past, and had suggested the Doctor I visited today.
I stopped at his office last week and got all the paper work for new patients, filled out all of it here at home and made out a list of meds and past medical history.
I got to the Doctors Office this morning 15 mins. early and had a great chat with the receptionist. The Nurse asked me to come to the back and checked my weight height B/P Pulse and temp, she said my B/P was a little high. Finely the Doctor came in we Talked for over 30 mins. about mine and my wife’s past medical (she has very ill and in the hospital). I told him that I also was seeing a Therapist, we talked about the reasons why and I also told him that I was TRANSGENDERED without a beat we went right on with the exam. He told me he wanted to do some blood work to check my cloistral and wanted me to check my B/P at home and keep a written record of it to bring back in 2 weeks.
It is so cool and positive to be able to come out to a professional. Oh how I wish my boss was a professional.
