Visited my doctor today after long time. I had a telephonic talk with him the other day when he asked me to drop in for further check up. Besides some weakness developed after I contracted covid. I had observed the shaking of hand when held in particular position. Doctor checked me thoroughly and assured me that there is nothing wrong and hand shake is not related to Parkinson's. He also told me that in general people have slight problems up to six months after recovery in case of covid patients. Overall a good assuring session. When did you visit your doctor last?

I have not visited my doctor since last Feb. Now I have to get my annual complete profile blood test. I should get it done in a week time. And then will call my doctor. I will send him the copy. It's good that the shaking is nothing much serious. With all the stories going around any simple thing also can be worrisome. Good that your doctor has neglected it and that would be a big relief. Take care.

@arunima25 This doctor friend of mine is not a commercial one like many others. So many times he showed his disgust in malpractices going on in medical field. He is one of the best cardiologists we have here.

@msdivkar It's good to have a friendly doctor. We feel comfortable. Half of our problems get solved if we get that trust and assurance in doctor. Most of doctors these days sound too business oriented and fail to develop a connection with patients.

I’m glad you visited the doctor for a checkup and don’t have Parkinson’s. I went for a checkup in October and have another checkup in April.

Yes it is not a good decision to go to a hospital these days. This doctor of mine does not accept covid patients. Everybody has to take telephonic appointment before dropping in to the consultancy. He does not even admit those with cough and cold so it is safe there.
