Experinces with your doctor...?

[MonkeyMonk]

I saw my doctor 2 days ago and I brought my e-cig with to show her the parts and how it worked. She was interested in the parts... how it assembled and disassembled. She let me take a puff and show her the vapor. She didn't say anything pro or con, but I could tell that she was familiar with e-cig being around and in use...

I told her I was hoping to be analogue free by Easter.

I think doctors could become our best allies.

Has anyone else talked to or shown their doctor their e-cig?

I showed my dad's NP who came for a visit the other day. She loved it and wants to buy one for her sister who smokes. I gave her a card I got from PS.

I posted earlier (buried somewhere) that when I went to the ER and was admitted to the hospital, ALL the MDs were intrigued and positive, as well as all the nurses. I was allowed to use my e-cig during a one-week stay, without any funny looks except for positive curiosity. My follow-up with an orthopedic surgeon said "that's the way to go!" after I demo'd it in front of him during the exam. My regular doctor, too, was impressed that I was no longer smoking tobacco and happy to see that. She had NO problem, only explained to me that nicotine is addictive.

CssReb and Niya, thats great! I think my doc was good with it, too. But, she's not one to verbally back anything that she considers "too new".

That is so great that they let you have it in the hospital. Did you have a room mate or a private room?
