Not EKG, Caroline. Echocardiogram. She has an appointment with Internal Medicine for starters. She's never had the need for an Internal Medicine MD before now. Some of us country folk just like GP's.

Myself, I have an Internal Medicine MD. I've already told his partner (who is alot younger) that he will be inheriting my care when my MD retires. I asked him to make sure my son puts me in a good nursing home where he rounds. grin


"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek
