“Hi Mr. Snider, we received your email and will begin processing your new prescription request immediately. Please let us know if you have any further questions.”

I am forever grateful that my endocrinologist is available through the novelty that is electronic mail. I hope the joy I experience every time they respond to one of my messages never fades.

This is the new normal for me. There’s no way I can ever go back to “the old way” of communicating with my doctor.
