Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I finally got to see my new PCP. WOW is she pretty. LOL The best part is her nurse worked for an Oral cancer Dr and for once I didn't have to explain anything. Talk about lucky. I have had 3 lady Drs the past few years and any one of them a guy would be proud to take home. Just Kidding but they and their intelligence, looks and niceness impressed me.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | My last 2 Drs were very preety too. LOL and we talked about everything but health . LOL I like to make friends and I think it must relax them if we are when we go to see them.
