Today I met up with my friend Heidi for coffee.
Actually, it was green tea, but I like to refer to it as coffee even though I don’t drink coffee and haven’t done so in more than a decade.
Heidi is 58 and a senior nurse on a busy gastro ward. She is super-experienced, super-kind, and super-funny and everyone loves her.
Heidi has no menopausal symptoms at all.
Not even one.
A doctor she works with told her to keep it quiet.
“Under wraps” he said
“Top secret” he said
“Or you could gain enemies.”
These were his exact words.
And I wanted to cry.
This has to be one of the most peculiar things I have ever heard.
What a peculiar world we live in.
And what a very peculiar doctor.
I hope I never need to see him.
The end.
