bour oh a French fris hello hello hello Diane and Randall bro here coming to you this afternoon from Prescot Arizona we are your local helpful efficient amazing uh real estate team that’s us uh Rand and Dian bro here did I say my name but I’ll say it again you just keep saying it just in case you didn’t catch it never get old I’m also called the pickle lady pickle lady yeah so we are here to talk we get this a lot we get a lot of questions and I completely understand it’s a great question about (00:39) Medical Care yeah Medical Care here in presc so I think we may have covered this before but we probably did every now and then you need to retread something there there it’s unusual for someone to come and visit us and go around with us and not ask us this question absolutely so the answer is yes we do have medical care there isn’t and end a video cut Finn as they say Finn good no yeah we did a good job on that we covered that we went into great depth y uh no yes we do have medical care um you should know there are two major (01:14) hospitals one in Prescot one in Prescot Valley they are run by Dignity Health uh we have a lot of so they referred to as the East Campus and the west campus that’s right we also have there are Specialists here there isn’t one doctor’s office here uh there’s a lot of satellites there’s cardiologist if God forbid you have cancer um you can pretty much go down to Phoenix to um the Mayo Clinic the Cancer Centers down there MD Anderson MD Anderson all the big cancer people yeah the research hospitals are obviously in (01:49) a big city you can’t have we can’t sustain a huge research hospital here in our small town most of that is right around the scottsd area that’s about an hour and a half an hour and 45 minutes away but the good news is you go down there you get your protocol there are satellite offices in Prescot so once they lay out your plan of action uh you don’t even have to usually you don’t have to go back down there you can do it here in Prescot with your orders um but yeah we’ve got a lot of friends uh they (02:19) have a good cardiologist several here uh good uh What do you call them gastrologist gastro yeah uh I’m looking for a good psychiatrist yeah yeah yeah well like a lot of the kind of thing where you have uh ongoing uh ongoing care like rehab you know not not the drug rehab but you know you got a a new knee a new hip yeah you know they’ll have that kind of stuff here we don’t want you to think oh there’s only one doctor’s office whatever will I do yeah now they’re here and the hospitals are (02:51) actively engaging trying to improve and get younger doctors in here as well so we are growing and evolving y um there are also a lot of concierge doctors here which I don’t know where you are from your neck of the woods but um that’s a new trend where you can put up two to $4,000 and you have your own personal doctor you can go see whenever you want you call them they make room for you there’s no oh you got to wait two weeks yeah um so that’s pretty attractive especially if You’ have a major (03:26) condition and something has happened dreadfully it could help you save a lot of trips to the emergency bre yeah well one thing one thing I always mention is uh if you are within I would say 50 maybe as much as 100 miles from Prescot and you are in a car accident and they Life Flight you out they’re going to bring you to presc it’s the it’s the biggest most advanced Regional Hospital in the area until you need to do like an mayo or MD Anderson uh this is the place and that’s true of all the areas around (04:01) here we will’ll come to presc good stuff good stuff so I don’t want you to have a preconception here that or preconceived notion is that word yeah prec yeah it’s not like the you know we’re not that cowboy town where they give you a bullet to bite on and pour Whiskey on your stomach before they cut out your appendix that’s right no nothing like that we’ve Advanced a little bit since we have a lot of good Specialists we have a lot of good dentists we have a lot of good you know endodontists (04:30) we have it all okay um it might I do recommend when you come that at least the first week go ahead and get your name into one of the doctors you want to go to because it might take a month or two to get established once you’re established you’re in yeah but don’t wait until it’s a crisis you know get then you’re going to find yourself in trouble that’s right and and you know we don’t mean to portray this as nervana uh our country is struggling with Health Care particularly since covid and uh our (05:01) our little town is doing its best to deal with the difficult situation that everyone else is dealing with that’s so you know trying to find good doctors and everything a lot of places are struggling with that and presc it is too uh but for the most part um you you can get the care that you need here at least that’s been AB we’re trying to get some help for him but yeah yeah nobody wants to take him nobody wants to take on trying the psychotic mess I call a brain so I don’t want you to be afraid (05:32) um it’s all good you know and um we’ve had a lot of people go through good friends some very serious yes uh health issues yes and they’re still here doing great and you just get resourceful and uh adjust and make yeah I I mean we we most of our friends are in their late 60s 7s 80s uh so just about any point in time we have a good friend who’s undergoing something and so this is you know Medical Care is something that we kind of have our finger on absolutely because we’re constantly getting (06:08) feedback and for the most part people do get the care they need they do yeah so we just wanted to bring that up again because we get that
