Around here, they are very different. The doc does the physical exam, and an NP does the wellness exam, which is full of meaningless (to me) questions like "do you feel safe at home" and " do you feel comfortable indoor surroundings."
Right, all those questions are from Medicare - for us old folks. "Have you fallen in the past year?"

Seems an awful lot like a Chit Chat post.
Probably belongs in the gallery. 😜🤪

...ask how I'm feeling I say great, but I'll get over it!!
When people ask me how I'm doing today, I say, "Fine, but it's still early."

I just got a survey to fill out, based on my visit. When I get these surveys from a business, I always give it top ratings because the survey is just a way for the company to hammer the employees and demand more from them.
Blondie has had a couple of days discussing the annual physical.

Be very careful about being flip on questions. I was in the hospital for nonspecific terrible pain in the limbs. How that, Lyme disease and finally bowel surgery were related has never clearly being established. In the hospital I remarked that I did not think I could survive another run of whatever was happening. Next thing I'm getting visits from social services thinking I was suicidal. I just meant physically I would not survive another round of the same.

Well, speaking of 'being well", it seems that the "Category Police are "well" and on duty. I just went to the top of this section and saw this: "General Chit-Chat (non-photography talk)". Now I am confused. Oh well, back to worrying about if the post I'm reading is in the correct/proper section.
Guess it's been a slow day.

I went to see my doctor yesterday for my annual ph... (show quote)
Well, my wellness exam is ordered by my insurance company and is conducted by a NP at my home annually. My physical exam is an annual by the VA, and is conducted at the regional center with a face to face with my Primary Physician that may include additional tests (blood, Xray, etc.). I have six (6) specialists at VA, and two at Lutheran hospital. I take 19 pills/capsules a day, and generally feel pretty good. Between VA and Medicare I'm in good hands. I have had my days of irritation with the medical field but realize everyone has their irritations also. Just thankful for what I have. Terminology can get confusing.

Terminology is getting more confusing. Ask the provider to explain!
