Well, damn. My APN retired so I have to meet with her replacement, who is an MD [View all]

I've got accustomed to communicating with this particular APN. For the most part she listened to me. I have EXTREME white coat issues so every visit is a real stressor, no matter what it's for. I've had some REALLY BAD experiences with doctors, both personal and in my family.

This is just a follow up to blood tests taken during my annual visit so hopefully she will be OK with a 'get to know each other' visit so I can decide if I'm comfortable with her.

She's young. About 10 years of experience. Went to U of M Medical School. Looks to be relocating. So, we'll see.
