The Man Should Work with the S.W.A.T. Team

You know how, on all of the police dramas on television, there is always that key person on the S.W.A.T. Team who is able to talk someone down from a ledge so that they don’t jump? Sort of the Hostage Negotiator type? Well, for my husband and I, that person Dr. Martin Poliak. He is a calming and reassuring presence for his patients who is always available to answer a question or assess a problem. We’re now in our sixties and it seems that all of these little things that pop up now, never happened in our youth! Strange! LOL…. We’ve heard it said before “Enjoy your 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s, because when you hit 60, that “Check Engine Light” is gonna come on! Truer words were never spoken! There are some pretty freaky things that are apparently just part of “normal aging!” Who’d have guessed THAT? Ha! Let’s just say that it is wonderful to be able to actually communicate with your Doctor (or as we call him, “The Voice of Reason”), sooner rather than later, just to put your mind at ease. Sometimes we need to be seen, but other times, we only need to try this or that first, to see if it helps. It is wonderful to be able to get a quick answer on something, so that we don’t have to agonize and worry over it until we can be seen, which many times, is more disturbing than the actual health issue we’re having! So, all this to say that Dr. Poliak is a great doctor and that apart from the great medical care that we receive from him, we also appreciate his promptness, kindness, consideration, and his wonderful sense of humor, which always helps the medicine go down just a little bit easier.
