4/4/23: Hepatology Appointment

I had to wait 30 minutes for my appointment today, which really didn't bother me (I like to think that if a doctor is behind schedule, it's because they're giving patients the time they need); but what did irk me was the white board that showed my doctor as being "on time". What's the point of having such a white board if it's not accurate!? 

The appointment itself took all of 10 minutes, maybe less. He basically brought up my chart, saw that my LFTs are normal, and then spent the rest of the time patiently summarizing my hepatology history and asking if I had any questions. It sort of felt like he was enjoying having a simple, straightforward, "everything is fine" appointment!

As expected, since all indicators point to a healthy liver, I don't need any more follow-ups in hepatology. Yay! That's one less thing to worry about.
