doctor?

[pylduck]

So I'm doing one of those adult things today -- trying to find a doctor to make an appointment for a general checkup and to get some new allergy medicines. I have absolutely no idea how to do this since I've bascially just gone to student health clinics the last ten years. I'm searching through the preferred provider database of my health care plan. And these lists of names and addresses isn't really helpful. Sigh.

Hmm. I should probably contact people in my department. They're all so.... not like me, though. I guess it doesn't really matter what kind of people they are...

You just want someone who is likely to be good about selecting a doctor! Also, try to ask people who live close to you, because they'll more likely have someone who works more close by, too.

Yah. There are doctors EVERYWHERE in this city. I did a search within 5 miles of my place and the database capped results at 100. I'll probably end up asking some of the younger faculty for recommendations. I just asked one, and she said her husband just found someone he really likes so she'll e-mail me the info.
