promising?

I had a wonderful experience talking to a doctor's office yesterday on the telephone. That alone, I could write in the record books.

This office was highly recommended to me by the midwife through whom I had my son, and is in the field of Integrated Medicine, a holistic approach to lifestyle wellness, not simply the temporary treatment symptoms of whatever might be wrong. My chiropractor had recommended somebody to me as well, but after a series of telephone-tag and messages reflecting vocal tones bordering impatience, I really started to feel uncomfortable, as I do not wish to enter into a wellness relationship with somebody who causes me to feel stress. That, to me, seems counterproductive to what would be our common goal. Some personalities just don't jive.

So I was speaking to the receptionist who actually listened to me and, as I was calling for one doctor in the practice, she said that, hearing what I have to address, I would perhaps be better matched up with another woman, a bit closer to my own age, and would be able to get me in by next Wednesday.

I am hoping that this will be the beginning of discovery in how to live healthier and to guide my family along the same path, while also perhaps answering some questions and alleviating some of my fears.
