Better than a midnight run to the emergency room.

My title tells the whole story. About 12 years ago my blood pressure was bouncing around a lot so I ended up in the SL Regional ( now Holy Cross) emergency room too often. Happily, there was never much the matter. Once I joined MDVIP, things eventually settled down. I've lost 40 pounds ( over about 4 years)which of course helps matters.) The wellness exams helped this - every year my "report card" improved. At heart i'm still a 12 year old , so seeing these changes was encouraging. Just knowing that there is a phone number that I can call if I feel a heart problem coming on helps me to calm my panic. The best thing about this Dr. - patient relationship is that I can admit to anything with Dr. Hanlon. I do not feel guilty about anything - this has actually helped me to stop drinking and maybe to eat better although I'm still overly found of chocolate.
