Then: Kildare and Casey

Now:  McDreamy and House

Is it just me?  Or are TV doctors more accessible and way better looking than the ones in real life?

Back in the day, we had Doctors Richard Kildare and Ben Casey.  Not bad too look at with fairly good bedside manners.  Today, we have McDreamy and McSteamy working at Seattle Grace Hospital, the hunks that working Off The Map, and my favorite, Dr. Gregory House – irreverent, controversial, and nearly always right with his diagnosis.  Someone I’d want working on my case, if I ever get some obscure disease.

For example, if the physiatrist doctor designs and prescribes a rehabilitation program for a patient with arthritis, the therapy will be a combination of physical therapy and uk levitra occupational therapy.

I sometimes wonder if the creators of HOUSE gave him that name because doctors used to actually make house calls.  Take Marcus Welby, for example.  He represented a time when the doctor would arrive at your door with his little black bag, pull out his stethoscope and take care of you, right there in your very own bed.  Afterwards, he would share a cup of tea or coffee at the kitchen table.

Today, the only “doctors” that actually make house calls are the ones that arrive with their black cases full of routers, mother boards, recovery discs, power cords, memory chips and whatever integral parts are needed to cure the virus in our ailing computer.

Yes, it’s sad but true.  Our hard drives can count on being repaired in their very own homes.  Yet when we, their owners, need recovery from the virus weakening our power,  from a hacking cough, or a slipped disc we must drive ourselves to the ER (where you can bet the doctors aren’t as handsome as those on TV) or to our family practitioner.

Which brings me to my current dilemma – that of finding a good doctor.  Oh, I never miss my annual female inspections.  You know the mamm and the pap, as I call them.  Just as I could never forget those folks who took me to the doctor when I was sick:  mom and pop.

But what I need now is a doctor for a wellness exam, preferably one that takes my insurance.  These days that seems harder and harder to find.  I know our current administration is promising to make changes in our medical coverage.  I’m hoping it’s sooner than later.  Because even though my boss pays quite a hefty sum for my insurance, I still have a lot of out-of-pocket expenses.

So, I asked around.  I got a referral from my orthopedic  surgeon.  Yes, that type of doctor, I do have.  I seem to break my bones a lot more than the average person.

And with name in hand, I did what we all do these days, I went to my computer (free of all viruses) and I googled him.

Wow!  What did I find?   Site after site about this great doctor.  He never lost a patient.  Treated his nurse with respect.   He was a hunk.   Went to work every Thursday night.  What?  Once a week?  Of course!  I had stumbled upon one of the lesser known fictional doctors at Seattle Grace.  I continued reading anyway.  Only to find that he accepts every insurance plan.  And never turns down a patient.

Now if I could just get myself an appointment!
