hello hello hello hello Peeps and happy happy New Year’s to you 2024 baby we here at the pickle team Randall and I would like to wish you the happiest and warmest wishes for the upcoming year here’s to good stuff happening for all of us it’s supposed to be a good year 2024 is a lucky number if you add up in numerology it adds up to eight which is infinity good for love good for good luck so that’s what I’m betting on how about you leap year leap year plus leap year always an auspicious event correct keep the uh the Mercury retrograde thing yeah I don’t know I don’t know I’m not that well versed and all of that but we wanted to wish you the happiest of New Year’s you’re probably getting this a few weeks into the month of January yeah but we’re recording it near the front you know that’s right got to edit and all that takes a little time so all of this is uh you get it a few weeks after we actually film so here we are we want to talk about 20124 we’re super excited everyone was gloom and doom about 2023 it wasn’t bad folks not so much it was not bad at all yeah prices were very stable y uh we’re back to a buyer Market uh inventory was low but you we managed to find some good homes for our guys yep uh so brought in some new blood in the city lots of really nice people great year and no regrets they were glad they were scared of the interest rate but they made the jump anyway yeah they know that they can refinance so they didn’t let it hold them back and now they’re living the dream and our beautiful town of Prescot yep so it’s uh pretty exciting times yeah a lot of Gloom at the front of 2023 as every we recall we predicted that none of that would come to pass and it has not yep uh more gloom and doom for 2024 or what are people saying I don’t even know well they’re a little more encouraging because interest rates are dropping which is good yeah so we’re super excited about that so if you’re contemplating you know Now’s the Time our folks who did it in 2023 no regrets yeah don’t put your life on hold yeah grab that gold ring go for it yeah in terms of interest rates so um the expectation is that interest rates will go lower uh for 2024 what is low what is not low is two and a half okay yeah yeah I think that’s over those days are over and all indications are that uh us of a certain age tends to be people interested in presc it uh we’re not going to see that again U and the reason why we saw it is that we had lots of baby boomers who were not retired yet uh they were making lots of money and they were investing lots of money well that created a supply a very large supply of investment money and that drives down interest rates uh now most of the Baby Boomers are retired uh when they retire they stop investing so aggressively they get very conservative uh they start consuming money uh so those funds will no longer be there and that means Supply goes down that means your interest rates go up so I I would say you know you know a healthy economy is five or six uh with a few points of inflation and it looks like that’s exactly where we’re heading so that that’s actually really broad picture here that’s very healthy very healthy so uh if you’re waiting for two and a half then you’re gonna you’re not gonna make it don’t yeah don’t give up on life waiting for two and a half yeah move forward get out there make your move here our cost of living is amazing in presc your money will go much farther than you know some of the other places uh people are moving from California Washington Oregon you’ll be pleasantly surprised yes how far your dollar goes yes here in Arizona so we’ll have some other areas of the country that might suffer um so you’ll hear bad news about real estate Phoenix may be one of those areas um I don’t a few other other areas that got built up really fast uh with markets that are much more sensitive to interest rates um that won’t be presc uh presc is a relatively small town we are a very viable alternative to all of the uh retirement destinations that people talk about um so I I I just don’t see anything happening in presc for the foreseeable future we we’re just totally leveling off and holding strong holding strong holding strong plus we’ve got amazing weather Four Seasons uh you don’t have to worry about hurricanes you don’t have to worry about fires you don’t have to yeah well we can get a little baby little had a baby earthquake we had a baby earthquake supposed to have one every 50 years and it’s in Chino Valley which about 20 miles north of here yeah and I think it was a three or two and a half or something so I mean this is the time you want to try something new come to our town interest rates are starting to drop everything else is great here you might enjoy a new chapter right yeah don’t you think yeah I think so so we would love to help you with uh your search take you on a tour of our lovely town and uh show you what it’s all about for 2024 so we hope you

What do YOU consider the most important aspect of healthcare? Choice of providers? Variety of services? Nurse attractiveness? Randal and Diane discuss these and many other elements of the healthcare situation in Prescott, and share some *very* personal details along the way.

good morning hello peeps Jesus little energetic today that’s too much five but down I think he’s just happy Rand and Dian bro here my shoulders are bowed oh my God Rand and Dian bro here coming to you from Prescot Arizona she’s pickle lady I am the pickle lady we are the husband and wife um real estate team uh happy to help you find a new place here uh make a new start here in Prescot and one of the biggest questions we always get from people coming in from out of town is Healthcare Healthcare Healthcare yeah so we decided to report to you live from the front lines front lines the very they’re very trenches our very own experience so you’re going to follow us as we go in with Randall to have a colonoscopy yeah that’s right it’s amazing what I do for my clients yeah I I really didn’t need it I just did it so that I could tell you about it no that’s not true I have had h i I can’t tell you how many colonoscopies I’ve had yes I it started we got a little issue yeah it started when I was about 12 yeah it’s so I my family has a history of the kind of cancers that you know lead to colon cancer so by the I I was in my 30s I think and I st no not that’s it no but anyway first one so and that is a legitimate concern people coming here yeah and we just want you to know uh both of us um our own personal experiences and some of our experiences of some friends who are a little bit older um health care is evolving and growing here um uh as the town is growing so is the health care um they’re making some changes uh Dignity Health Care came in and brought over bought out I should say the yapay regional hospital yeah they are actively working on getting doctors on hand you know enticing younger doctors to come and stay um we’re working on it it’s a process and that’s true in most areas of the country most areas of the after Co you know providers it’s it’s getting harder and harder and U you know the money’s not as good as it used to be and blah blah blah it’s it’s hard and our little town is uh doing its best just like a lot of other areas uh the interesting thing about a colonoscopy is I mean from the standpoint of evaluating Health Care is that I know this procedure really well I’ve done it a lot I did it uh before dignity this is the first time I had it done after dignity yes so this allows me to kind of compare the two uh this is a procedure that you schedule so there’s no excuse you know if you in a car AC accident or you know in something unforeseen and you’re in the emergency room well you’re kind of at the you’re subject to whatever is happening at the time colonoscopy it’s routine it is scheduled so it should feel routine having done it a couple of thousand times I can tell you A lot of times it’s not routine I have found myself waiting in rooms that have millions of dollars of equipment waiting for oh we don’t have this piece we don’t have this nurse we don’t have blah blah blah blah blah if you do a routine procedure it should feel routine like they have complete Command of the situation they’ve got their system down they have their system down and let me tell you this was the best I think I’ve ever had yeah in terms of just having their act together yep it ran smooth just very smooth he literally was in and out no pun intended he no sooner was was back there then he was back out they had it very systematized we were very pleased with the service the hospital even sent him a real a little note a little note how many times you get that you have a procedure done thank you and uh everyone signed it so you had the the the welcoming nurse I don’t know what they call her but she was very nice her name’s Jenna the anesthesiologist yeah uh signed this he was very nice uh the GI the uh the PN I’m not even sure what a PN was and then the recovery nurse so yeah we were very impressed uh with the systems that they had in place in and out no problem and so we just wanted to share with you our own personal experiences I know there’s a lot of hesitation like it’s a small town are we going to be taken care of the answer is yes yes um we uh there’s also a great Breast Care Center here that a lot of people go to we get you know 3D mammograms and Cutting Edge stuff there I’ve been been very satisfied with that we’ve had several friends with heart conditions that have been happy with their cardiologists here um and the good thing about living in presc is we’re only an hour and a half away from some of the most Cutting Edge research hospitals in the United States we’ve got the Mayo Clinic the American Cancer Centers Anderson MD Anderson has now opened a branch here in Phoenix so you know if any anything God forbid major really happens you need the best of care you we’ve got it like you know an hour and a half away um so it’s all doable and we’ve had unfortunately a lot of friends who had to go down there they just plan their schedules they go down sometimes they spend the night and come right back up so it’s all doable don’t let the health care scare you away we are up and coming we’re growing um and right down at down the hill as they say is the big the big guns if you need it and we lived in we lived right outside of Houston uh for 17 years and the same was true then yeah uh you know if I had developed cancer I would have been at MD Anderson and which was about an hour and half an half drive yeah so it’s about the same you know so don’t let it scare you we just kind of wanted to share with you our own personal experiences one more getting back to the whole routine thing okay this is something I have experienced a a lot of times and I was delighted to to see that they didn’t do this so you wait for your procedure you wait you wait you wait they put you in an operating room that’s that’s uh not being used and stash you away you get the same questions asked a thousand times and then they don’t remember the answers uh none of that none of that and the thing especially that annoys me is you wait you wait you wait and then you are out cuz you know they put you under general anesthesia and then somebody is waking you up cuz they need the bed they’re trying to get rid of it they hustle you out they hustle you out roll up they did not hustle me out they waited until I just kind of came to and then the nurse in the recovery room comes over and she just says you okay how you doing you know how you feeling you want some water you know and then you know 10 15 minutes later they they uh they brought me the transport to get out and it was very the door yeah and one other thing I should mention maybe I shouldn’t mention it with my wife in a room but I have to say this oh I have to say this the nurses that work in GI are gorgeous I I thought I was being punked oh all these beautiful women are there to you know help me have a scope I’m like oh my God how embarrassing for you yeah it’s like obviously I couldn’t make a move you know what I’m saying I felt very vulnerable yeah all these young things just beautiful I don’t know why beautiful girls going to that kind of work but there you go I need to cut that yeah no that’s staying in so shout out to the beautiful nurses that do GI over at they have never recovered they’re still talking about this experience yeah they’re still talking about me I’m still talking about them I think I’ve got a note I’ve got a note know I I that’s not for real I don’t get your hopes up I don’t think they were that impress although you know the recovery nurse and her name is uh oh gosh her name’s Sarah she seemed very
