Sure ok I'll break the ice here being " no stranger to danger''
I have the dreaded hiatus hernia and went in yesterday for day one of the two day '' Esophageal Manometry and 24-hour ph monitoring tests''
First off there is a receptionist and a cramped little 5-6 chair waiting room. Dr. Dong ( An Asian man probably in his early 60's ) comes in about 20 minutes late and calls me into a small back room with a desk for him and a chair for me.
my first impression is Dong is very robot-like in his nature showing no emotion or personality what so ever. his list of questions was read off like I was being interviewed by a computerized program, but whatever I'm here to successfully conclude an endeavour regardless of the Doc.'s demeanour.
from here we went into the bigger procedure room, where I was met with a lady at a computerized terminal. and my seat beside her.
The lady was quite nice and did exhibit a rather pleasant and caring
personality as well as being very competent in doing her part in the procedure.
Dr. Dong continued to be emotionless and not saying anything but commands which was a bit weird but staying focused...
The whole procedure went off without a hitch... It felt uncomfortable at times but painless so easily tolerable.
My leaving impression was if I rate this on quality of professionalism
and competency I guess it was first class.
Bottom line; They got this done quick, efficient ...and painless
now it is the following day and I go back in 3 hours to get the
''24-hour monitor'' taken out ... and get back on the Dexilant read more
