Not Enough Sex

-
They met in high school. She was a sophomore and he was a senior. They dated for a year; a whirlwind romance, they say. Her father didn't approve. He passed away, so they married a year later (instead of eloping, she winks).

And here they are. Fifty years later. A date fifty years ago might been sneaking out for an ice cream or watching a movie at the drive-in. A date today is a couple, crazy as ever for each other, walking hand-in-hand into the exam room for their Medicare wellness exams.

We discuss the various items on the Medicare checklist.
Activity: good.
Teeth: no dentures.
Vision: need glasses.
Incontinence: none.
Falls: none.
Just write "ditto" on my chart to everything she says, he chuckles.
We continue on.
Sleep: great.
Mood: great.
Sex: She looks at him. "We have it," she says. He looks back at me and snorts "not enough."

Fifty years, and some things apparently haven't changed.

“Interested in Real Estate”

-
  I’ve had a lot of messages lately saying “I’m interested in real estate.” Before investing in anything, I suggest getting  crystal clear  on two things: (i) Your goals — Why are you interested? (ii) You level of risk tolerance — Does risk terrify you? Or are you willing to stare it in the face? (iii) Your desired level of involvement — Do you want to be completely hands-off? Are you ok getting your hands a little dirty? A lot dirty? My husband and I had not planned to have our AirBnB. We are both risk averse. We were looking for a property that:  (i) was closer to family so we could meet midway (ii) serve as a hub for my husband’s photography and meditation retreats (iii) serve as a weekend respite from a busy week  From there it turned into an AirBnB. Though this was not our original plan. Once you are clear on your goals, your acceptable risk levels and level of involvement desired, then we can review the various types of real estate investments.

Being A Physician Patient

-
I’ve completed four years of medical school, four years of residency and have over ten years of clinical experience. I’ve learned it’s far more difficult to be a patient than to be a physician. And how incredibly broken the American healthcare system truly is. Today, I was scheduled for a follow-up post-accident because, although I’m much better, I’m still experiencing neck pain. Normally I would do this sort of thing on one of my precious half days. Unfortunately the doctor was only available on two days, neither of which was my half day. So I took a sick half day to attend to my own health. I arrived forty minutes prior to my appointment time. The receptionist handed me a 12-page pamphlet to complete. Among all the other questions, I had to put a dot anywhere I had pain and had to rate each dot on a scale and describe if I was improving or worsening. Paperwork took me almost twenty minutes to complete. I was roomed fifty minutes after my appointment time. I have been on
