Things are not so great at The Asylum. I have this queasy feeling that something is seriously wrong. It’s a combination of little things. The director’s administrative assistant vanishes. A beloved nurse with almost 25 years of service suddenly leaves. Our clinic will be closed for the rest of the month. The food is 1950s cafeteria. And, just for giggles. How about this from the website of one of two doctors who see residents here at the Asylum.
I am a board-certified internist who addresses each patient as an integrated and unique person while attending to all 12 systems of the human body. I treat men and women, and perform exams specific to women. I also specialize in non-surgical esthetic procedures to help both women and men optimize the natural beauty of their face, while maintaining the essence that defines the character of each patient. These procedures include a range of injectibles, such as botox, fillers, and mesotherapy, as well as Platelet Rich Plasma, colorfully known as “Vampire PRP.” Just imagine getting Vampire PRP from a doctor (me) who was born and raised in Transylvania! This procedure is in my blood!
Mind you, I am not saying we don’t need a vampire on our medical staff. But, I am glad that I have my own physician. And the where with all to get myself to her office.
OK. Rant is finished. I will return to my place under a rock and will try to ignore everything here except my friends. Which is the only reason I remain. When I moved in I believed that The Asylum would be a safe place for me when I am no longer “independent”. I am beginning to doubt that. My friends and I will look after each other. What about the last woman standing? Most have family. But not all. Lucky for me. Family history says I will not be the last woman standing.
PEG’S WAYBACK MACHINE – JANUARY 7, 2002
Think I’ll go round up something for dinner. Don’t see anything on the cafeteria menu that I want. So, it’s time to make an omelet or fried egg sandwich.
This week’s Covid Stats: 9 residents and 39 staff. But not one seems to be hospitalized.
