First Visit

After drawing blood from my throat (it itched so I scratched it) using my toothbrush I had Cathy take a look at my throat. Her response was, "That doesn't look right". I looked at it and said the same thing.

So I scheduled an appointment to see my primary care physician. All I could get at the time was the physician's assistant and I figured that was better than nothing. The appointment was a few days off but I had explained the symptoms to them and said I was very flexible so I could come in with just a few moments notice. Sure enough, a day later they called and said they had a cancellation. Bam! I was there in 15 minutes. The Physician's Assistant takes a look and says, "That's not right" and calls in the doctor himself who says the same thing and says he is going to refer me to an ENT specialist. Little did I know that it was an ENT Oncologist (one that deals specifically with cancer). I still had enough time to get home and take my wife to the hospital for her scheduled full hysterectomy at the hospital, though she was a bit put off that I cut it so close.
