Emotional Roller Coaster *cue Vivian Green*

Ok so... as you know, I'm a Family Medicine physician. I absolutely LOVE what I do but boy can it be a roller coaster ride FULL of highs, lows and in betweens!! All in one week I can go from sheer joys, to sadness, to anger, to laughing my proverbial butt off. I've had the pleasure of being there to tell a couple who's tried for years to conceive that they are gonna be parents, I've had numerous opportunities to be there when a family welcomes their newest member. By the same token though, I've had to tell a mom the words she dreads hearing "I'm sorry, we can't find a heartbeat",as well as tell a family their Mom's cancer is back...


Don't even get me started on the things that just point blank piss me off *rolls eyes* that's a whole 'notha post.


Now as far as the things that make me laugh...Picture it...Tuscaloosa...2012


Scene: *walking through the hospital today*


Random Lady: Excuse me, you work here?
Me: "yes ma'am, how may I help you?" 
Random Lady: Can you tell PLEASE her *pointing to friend* that you CAN catch Diabetes!"
Me: *blank stare* Umm...well no...you don't really CATCH it... *goes on to explain Diabetes*
RL's friend: Told you!! THANK YOU!!
Me: Glad I could help... *slowly walks away*




ROLLER COASTER I tell ya!


I feel like I've been blessed beyond measure to have been chosen for this profession. I pray everyday that I my patients see Christ in me...that He provide the words for me to say during their most difficult times and He has been faithful in doing just that! That's it for now I guess *giggle*


~DivaDoc OUT!!

Getting my feet wet...

So...I did it...I FINALLY did it! I've thought about starting a blog for quite some time now but never had the time. Allow me to introduce myself MY NAME IS HOV!!! Oh wait, that's not my line *clears throat* I'm Alisha Thompson Congress; some know me as "Dr. Congress" or "Ant's wife", or "the Delta", or "Pastor Thompson's daughter", or "Wayne's sister"-but Alisha will suffice :-) I'm a 32 year old Family Medicine Physician adjusting to my new, exciting and ever evolving life as Mrs/Dr. Congress. I met my husband of almost 16 months over a decade ago and after losing touch for a few years, we reunited and got married on what I will always regard as one of the most beautiful days of my life. I'm the oldest of 2 children and yes, you guessed right I'm a PK (preacher's kid). I gave my life to Christ many years ago and haven't regretted it since- not perfect by any means but forgiven. I love all things fashion, all things makeup related, all things love. I'm as silly as they come and probably a little corny...don't judge me. I have SO many things to talk about-much of which will be one long ramble at times LOL! Anywho, put your seatbelts on and prepare for all types of crazy! I hope you all enjoy the ride on my roller coaster of a life <3
