Remember, if you hate them you don't have to go back, but you really should get your current issue checked out asap, and maybe get a pap smear and boob exam done too just to get it out of the way, seeing as it sound like you haven't had a physical in a while. It's going to be unpleasant whoever the doc is, so it might as well be one you may not want to see again

Yeah, I found a group practice and trying to decide which of their female docs I want to choose. I am going to get a full check-up and get everything done. It's been over 10 years since I got a check-up. Actually, I would really like to get my heart checked too, but I'm sure it's not really necessary. My heart rate occasionally would spike, but I'm sure it's due to stress.
