Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

@betarhoalphadelta , @Wildcat4E , both of you raised the point about not being good enough to play for the US and so taking their opportunity for another squad.  Hard to think that fits in Nola's case, as he's the Phillies' ace.  Maybe there's still not enough room for him on Team USA, but damn.

Got an appointment with an endocrinologist tomorrow. Been waiting a while.

Grumpy.

Met with the Adrenal Surgeon up in Tampa last week and he will be removing the tumor up there at his Adrenal Institute.

But I have to lose weight, and I can't with this tumor messing me up. I've been waiting for 6 weeks to see this local doctor to get an Rx to block the effects of Cortisol (causes weight gain, among many other things).

One phone call from Mr. Big up in Tampa and all of a sudden, I have an appointment here.

Funny how that works.

Happy.

Yup.  If the Endo's over there are anything like the ones here, they're drowning in patients and the wait time tends to be god-awful.  But most doctors will force an opening as a professional courtesy if a peer-to-peer conversation happens.  Especially if the other doc attests to them the urgency of the matter. 

I was referred to endo months ago and I haven't even heard from them yet.  That's how bad the logjam is here.  Our area is under-served in several specialties, though.  The worst is rheumatology.  There's just too few doctors, and so many patients who need their help.
