Had 2 Doc appointments, waited 3 hrs for one, and 1 Dentist appointment in the last 2 weeks.

Docs now require photo ID each time you go, no matter how many
years you've gone to them.
Dentist is required to use a new computerized X ray machine that stores
your x rays and personal info. on a computer.
He doesn't like it as before he would take 2 pics with a small cone, which was all
he needed. Now he needs 4 pics on a wider cone that spatters more radiation
as well as doubles the radiation to the patient.
Two more additions to HC.

Interesting. I was just at the doc 2 weeks ago for shoulder issues. Didn't ask for ID or insurance card.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
