Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are blogs like writing in our diaries, except we say
them aloud. Kiki, yes, all yours dear blog.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Okay, so this is gonna be one of those. Don't
be the pot calling the kettle black, don't throw rocks
in the glass house.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Is that what they say?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, okay, yeah, that because we need more doctors and
less influencers. Okay, this is coming from an influencer. Yes
it is, and I listen. Don't do as I do,
do what I say. Be a doctor, be a nurse,
be a lawyer, be anything but an influencer, because at
this point, trying to make a doctor's appointment. Bruh, it's

(00:39):
what's today, Wednesday? Yeah, okay, it's been all week. I've
been trying to make one doctor's appointment. And you know
my process. When I make a doctor's appointment, I go,
I find a name on the list.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Okay, well, I see if I vibe with the name.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Then I go from the name, I google. You see
if I vibe with your photo. If you don't, if
you look mean in the photo, I'm not messing with yourself.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Why don't you go to the same doctor twice?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Well, I have to find a new one because our
insurance decided to drop my doctor that I've had forever
out of the network.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
It didn't tell me.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Okay, So now I'm out here with a little bill
that I didn't know what's coming.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
You can't come in there with like diamonds and gold
to pay.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Exactly, and you know I don't like bills, so well.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Just go wherever you want.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Sorry to my doctor, you'll get it one day. But anyway,
so now I'm looking for a new doctor, and the
process is crazy. Once I find a photo that I like,
I google you see what you're about, find your social media,
you know, see if you marry single?

Speaker 4 (01:32):
What's the deal?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
So I guess, well, you really researching this research? Yes,
And so I really found this doctor I was vibing with.
She was a beautiful woman, her daughter's in college. She
looks like she has a great life. So I was like, okay,
I'm going to go to her. I call her office
and the little nice lady is like, yeah, we can
get you in in the end of September, ma'am.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
I don't even know if I'm gonna be alive at
that point.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Whatever's going on, it may take me before then.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
So like what I'm like, excuse me.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
She's like, yeah, she's booked up until the end of September.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Call it.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Find do the whole process again. Find another doctor I'm
vibing with, you know from her photo. And then I
say I call them and they're like, oh, yeah, she's
booked up until October.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
What is like, how it's longer for new patients too, Yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I'm like, this is wild and I need more options.
I need more doctors. We need less influences. I can
find an influencer everywhere. Everybody's an influencer, but we need
more medical students. So shout out to everybody who's in
medical school. Stay strong, get off TikTok, just focus on
your work because we need more people to be doctors
and lawyers and less what influencers.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's gotten to the point where I just have a
general idea the direction of the doctor's office, and I
just take whoever they'll give me. Like I just honestly
like I don't because if I try to make an
appointment with one person and they're like, well you will
see in six months, I'm like that doesn't help me.
I'm just I just sort of just say, hey, you guys,

(03:04):
is anyone available, like anybody, anybody. It's like, yeah, we
have a guyn of collogist ready, sure, that's whyly going there,
I'm feeding the stirrup. So I'm like, take a look,
you know what I mean, everything look okay to you
down there. I know it's not what you're used to,
but like, yeah, at this point, I just take what
I can get and then but I also very very
rarely go to the doctor right for this reason, like either.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
So when I put it, I put this on social
media because I'm an influenza, and people are in the
comments saying like, oh, well, that's probably because I just
book whatever appointment is available, and I call around and
book appointments with everybody until I can get god like,
until they can get the earliest appointment, and they never
go back and counsel the other appointments. So a lot
of people are just booked up for people that aren't

(03:47):
even going to show up.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
And while we're talking about that, every time I call
my guy, no, I'm thirtieth in line to get on
the phone to.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Make an appointment.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Why are we all that's a lot of mess up
with JJ.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Are you where we have to go?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
You know?

Speaker 5 (04:00):
You get because Fred, You've got the same doctor as Fred.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
That's a problem. They're trying to figure they're trying to
figure out what I'm doing in there.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
The stars like people in line for this damn guy.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
No, yeah, still staring at my parts, going wait a minute.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
But it feels different.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
I don't know we did we didn't do this one
in medical school. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Are you looking at places that doctors that are close
to your home?

Speaker 4 (04:27):
So I've even gone out down here too. I'll drive whatever.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
I don't like a downtown doctor because I get lost downtown.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
You know.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
They they're they're like, oh, we're in this building. The
address is really another house. I get very you know,
I'm a suburban girl, so I will go in any suburbs.
I'll go north, south, wherever a right. But yeah, it's hard.
It's it's hard out here. And I just wish we
had more options of doctors that I vibe with.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
So I love the amount of research that you do.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah, it's an all day process.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
You know what happened to me the last time, the
last time that I did not do my research and
they say, would you like so and so to be
your doctor?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I'm like okay, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
And I go in there and then a model walks in,
see a model, and I, you know, my stomach wasn't
feeling great, and she's like, we what are your symptoms?
I'm like, I'm good now, everything's fine. What what do
you why? Why you hear that? I'm like, I don't remember.
I don't want to talk to you about it, and
I can. I'm the weirdo. I know these people don't care.
I know, just because she's hot doesn't mean that she,

(05:26):
you know, isn't desensitized to whatever the hell's wrong with me,
and she doesn't give a damn about me. But I
was wildly distracted by how beautiful she was, and so
I now I too. I look for the oldest, dorkiest
nerdiest guy. Yes, and then I walk in there and
they call me fat. It's the same thing every time
your blood pressure is too high. Yes, because I'm sitting
here with you trying you doctor.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Have you tried ZocDoc?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
No?

Speaker 3 (05:50):
ZocDoc.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
It's I use it because our Ashlan's primary like pediatrician
is downtown, but we don't live downtown no more so,
like if he gets sick or whatever, doesn't feel good,
and we just go on zactoc and you just put
your insurance on there and you'll find the doctors in
your area and their availability like a snap like that.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Okay, I gotta try, or just go to Brazil with Taylor.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah else, you know, I'm saving up on my Brazilian
butt lifts.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, well, then let's go. They'll take a look.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
See maybe I don't think they take our insurance.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Oh well, it's cheaper there. They'll believe that you're brazil
