I cannot tell you all my doctor and Dentist, Can tell you the one I remember.

The first Doctor I can remember, was December 7, 1948, the Doctor Spank my begin, say “Jim Do not that again”, I do not listen, As I was reborn As A Christian.

I was with born brain danger, which effect only my speech, and Childhood Epilepsy, When had Epilepsy Seizure, my mind would go blank, and I could not move, Between 1948 and 1964, I was take four pills, three time a day, I cannot remember any name, I which I could, I think that medical took away my ambition to do things.

I remember more than once have A EKG, they stick about 15 pins in head, to test my brain wave.

I can remember to the Doctor For my Epilepsy medication, at once a month, then as I older it was every 6 month then once I year, then In 1964, I stop going to Epilepsy Doctor, and I Stop take in Epilepsy medication.

I was running around my house, I must been about seven years old. I fall onto, tennis can, and cut my chin, if look at my chin, you can still see the scar today.

One time my brother Dave, was swing the hose around, and hit me in back of my head, I had to have stitches, in my head, When home my, mom bought me a Dave Crockett Fur hat. The Dave Crockett movie just came at that time.

I saw a jet air plane, for the first time, I was in dad’s car, he told row the window, but I open the car door, fell out, the car behind us, ran over me, the driver other car, follow to hospital, they was nothing wrong with me.

I my cook class, I cut myself, and when to Doctor, The Doctor look it cut, and say, Jim let me give medication, yes I did have cold, but want him to fix my cut.

Between 1971 and 1995, I do not remember going the Doctor.

In 1995, I ate bowl of coffee ice cream, and got tooth ache, and I went to the dentist, he give medication for the pain. But all he could for me, until I saw the Doctor, for many years, I have lump on my neck, and did nothing about lump until them.

The Doctor took some test, and set a date for surgery, I would walk in the surgery center, sign the paper works, have the surgery, rest for hours, and walk out the back door.

Let me tell what happen on that day, I got on time, went to get my newspaper, I saw that my main water line, broken, So I have deal with that, by the my newspaper was not wet. I call A plumber, and he fix.

I got to surgery on time, I sign the paper works, I lay in bed, I could heard the doctor and nursery, and someone say no surgery, today, he got high blood pressure. So I went home.

With medication, I got my blood pressure down, and have the Surgery, all when as plan.

About week after the surgery, I get a call from, my doctor office, tell me that he want to see me, I saw, when, they say now, I knew something was up, so I got to the doctor office, When I saw the doctor he took me, that I salivary gland cancer, then my doctor send me to a doctor at Loma Linda University medical center, he want to remove the salivary gland, and put me in the medical center for four days, so the surgery when well, told came into my room, and told me that they found no cancer, my justmejimw reply, was you put in surgery and you found no cancer. That was a waste of my time and money. But thank GOD, as I did not salivary gland cancer.

The doctor put pouch in my neck to drain the fluid from my neck. The doctor ask me, if I want stay two days more, the medical center, or go home, and come back in two to have the pouch remove, I when home for two day.

I when back to have the pouch remove, I sit my the doctor office getting the pouch remove, told doctor, I was not feeling well, the doctor reply was that Ok Jim, I say but doctor you do not understand, I am not feeling well, then I said, he will back will back, say doctor, he say I know you are feeling well, I will back, he left, and I pass out, the doctor came my with the pass out cart, after I came wake up, told me, I saw in my face, that I about pass out, but he did not want me to know.

Sometime later, I could hear very well, people talk to me, I would walk a way, so the doctor put tubes in my ears, to drain the fluid from my ear, it help but some how, they fell out, so the doctor permanent tube, it help me hear better.

Today I am take medication for high blood, and high cholesterol, with the medication for high blood pressure, the bottom number is over a 100.

One time I went to my doctor in Victorville, they told I had no insurance, I found that they was two James Winters in the high desert, the other James Winters has no insurance. I would lost if I did have health insurance.

Now just me and the Dentist, as child I did not go the Dentist often, I can remember to a Dentist college to save money, in 1972, I went Dentist, just to have my teeth clean.

Back in 1960’s, brush my teeth, with tinge, I was for your feet and not your teeth, it burn my mouth, I stop brushing my teeth after that.

Start go going the Dentist in 1995, least once A week, sometime two or three a week for over A year, when the Dentist, put something my mouth, I would gag, So I when to special Dentist, who took the X-rays, from the outside looking in.
