I was on hold with your receptionist for the sixth time in a week. Our eyes never met (because you’re booked until November), but I felt our connection deep in my GI tract.
Me: a human woman with great PPO insurance, punctual, and a colon that needs a little TLC due to ulcerative colitis. I’m on my second type of biologics and I’m starting to get a little worried things are getting worse again. I’m the kind of patient who shows up early, laughs at your jokes, and brings a list of questions.
You: the unicorn of the medical world. Maybe a board-certified UC specialist, kind, skilled, and maybe you have a hidden opening in your schedule or a friend who does?
If you or a gastroenterologist you know wants to make a new friend (and potentially explore my digestive tract), reply here… or slide into my DMs like a well-lubed endoscope (yes, I am aware that I may regret this joke).
