The real details of my conversation are in the link below.

I arrive ~5 minutes early. The lady at registration told me so. I said 'maybe the doc will work me in a bit early. I walked to the back of the waiting area and sat facing the hall they move prisoners down, you know, that pink mile.'

Less than a minute, likely 30 seconds after sitting down a lady called my name from the end of the hall at the edge of the waiting area. I had seen the sign, 'Please turn cell phones down,' or some such request and was reaching for it and the volume control when I heard her voice.

Weight measured on the way down the hall and BP taken in the exam room. She and I had a feisty discussion over why I got my nitro refills every six weeks when I only take a couple or so each month.

I told her they lose their potency after six weeks to two months. She argued that opening the bottle often would allow the 'element,' to mess them up. I said 'I presume you're talking about moisture and heat,' and she became very condescending and said 'YES, THE ELEMENTS!, they have a shelf life of two years.'

I wanted to ask her about the periodic table as compared to 'Earth, wind, fire and water?' but I restrained myself and simply asked in she had ever taken them. That fried her bacon and turned up her ire to hot and she threw her education at me.

I explained that I had been prescribed that medication for 20 years and had taken it regularly more than once. She continued to argue her education so I STPHU to get rid of her.

Dr Hadad came in within seconds of her exit. I instructed him to apologize to her on my behalf and he said he would 'speak to her.' I explained our discussion and insisted that it was my fault to which he said he had talked with me... I interrupted and said, 'You know I'm an askhole.' He didn't laugh while I thought it was really funny.

He explained that no one could judge my level of medication better than me. That's where it ended and the discussion about my health...

All learned early that I was smarter than all of them 😅

You can ask a doctor what longterm, regular heroin use will yield.

Or you can go find a junky and view the results firsthand.
