The Fall part 2

 


Second Doctor visit, there I sat,
You know I was going, Snap! Snap! Snap!
Top pics are selfies, what was behind me, Below is the view I faced.
I learned I like PX best.
I also learned I am changing my Primary Care Physician
I may decide to tell The Story, still thinking.



I created the above collages in PicMonkey, and I do not care for them. 
Below I created with same photos, in PhotoscapeX
I like the PX better and so much easier.
What do you use to edit? To make collages
PicMonkey was my favorite for so many years, Now it is not.
I am thinking of canceling my subscription.
I might like it better if I had a new computer.

I agree with which edit looks the best. It is good to get a new doctor if you don't like or can't trust yours, so I know you are doing the right thing!

Good luck on getting a doctor you like. We feel lucky with ours.

I use GraphicConverter on our Macs for editing. It's not fancy, but the fellow continually works to improve it and it doesn't cost much. He inspires loyalty.

Yes, yes, yes, you need a doctor who will not only listen to you but not talk down to you and treat you like you are a two year old, one you feel 100% comfortable with, plus confidence that he is doing a good job. I am projecting, this was my experience. I use paint shop pro which is an expensive investment but I have had it for years. I also can’t use it with Apple products so I keep plodding on with my old laptop.

you deserved the best doc aver, that's for sure. we use our dad for collages he works for free LOL

Paint shop pro. It's so user friendly & tons of filters on the web as extra effects!! First investment isn't cheap but in the long run it's super.

Doctors...blah. I figure each one has invested in pharmaceutical companies & to get their shares up, they prescribe meds to their patients needless meds that give you side effects so they can prescribe MORE to counter-act. For them, it's all about money (my experience). I know my body better than a stranger that will see me for 15 minutes every 6 months. ER makes more sense to me. Sorry to be so negative.

Yes, I like the look of the second edit... I have several different photo apps - each with different tasks available on them. YAM xx

On my phone I just use the in phone editing. I"ve been thinking about getting an editing app though just for fun.
If you aren't happy with your doctor finding a new one would be a good idea. I changed several years ago and was so much happier with the new one.

Hello,

I love all the collages and images. I stopped Picmonkey when they started charging for the app. I hope you like your new doctor.
Take care stay safe , enjoy your day!

"Nothing more permanent than change" doctors or software.
I primarily use PiZap for photos and imovie for videos and am researching others.

Rose said...

I sure understand about wanting a new doctor...

I never make collages...still using an old, old edit program for what little editing I do.

I so rarely make collages; PicMonkey's become my crutch. The lobby scenes are so cool; they should pay you to use them on their website or in brochures.
Tom and I've been lucky (so far) with doctors who listen. The only one we couldn't stand, back in 2005 when Tom was diagnosed with the bladder cancer. Not only did he appear indifferent, but talked over our heads. I made an appointment just to talk and told him, "This kind of thing may be commonplace to you, but it's a big deal to us." (etc.) He actually apologized and changed his tune. Please, let us know!

Nothing worse than a hoity-toity MD.

My Mind's Eye said...

I use piZap, at one time I had PicMonkey too. I knew I didn't need to pay for both so I canceled PM.
Changing Doctors you say?

Martha said...

I like all the photos! If you aren't 100% happy with your doc, ditch him!

photowannabe said...

I'm right there with you on changing doctors.
I know I have to feel like I can talk to my Dr. and not be made to feel stupid or that I am a hypocondriac. My present doctor is great, blunt, truthful and compassionate at the same time.
That's a beautiful medical office..very calming atmosphere.
I use my very old and very faithful Picasa..it does everything I need. Hope it stays around for a good long while.

We have had our primary doctor for close to 30 years now. I can't imagine changing. We drive 25 miles now to see him. I do not edit any photos other than maybe cropping them.

After hemming and hawing, I finally dropped my PicMonkey subscription...I just couldn't get into their new version!

I have PX, but lately, have just been using Photoshop and Lightroom for Blog Photos and Snapseed for my Facebook and Instagram photos.

jp@A Green Ridge said...

I hear you loud and clear about finding a new PCP. I couldn't stand the one I had last and my new one is WONDERFUL!!!! She listens to your concerns and then a discussion takes place before a decision is made...thanks for the collage info!...:)jp

Chatty Crone said...

I'd get a doctor you like and feel they are competent!

Grandma C said...

Your braver than I am. I would never think of taking photos in doctor offices. lol I have taken coloring pages and color pencils with me and even got a complement on one piece of work from a doctor. Lets hope neither one of us gets any complaints about our creativity. lol

We have not seen a medical doctor for years, and if that sounds odd, I will explain. Our medical professional is a nurse practitioner and she takes the time to listen, which in the past the MDs did not because of their busy schedules. When we lived in VA we started with an NP there and when we moved to NH we specifically sought one out. Both have been females, so I can’t say if a male NP would be different. You might want to check out this option. As for photo editing, as you may already know, PhotoscapeX gets my vote.
