Oh my! What doctors say.......

I've got the local respiratory creeping crud. Saw the doc and he prescribed prednisone. The pharmacist had to call him back today. Prescription was written for 20 tablets, "1 on day one then 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 on successive days once a day". I'm thinking that this makes no sense at all. All of this MT work pays off. He meant 6 on day one then 5 on day 2, 4 on day 3, etc., but the rx was written exactly as above. How do common folk ever know what the ...

Well I get no help from these doctors for my facial/spinal paralysis since one of them put "conversion disorder" on my records. My neck muscles are not working along with my eye muscles. I am scared to death and fearful I coudl lose my eyesight. I do not have a conversion disorder or any other psychiatric illness just a lot of anxiety. Please pray for urgent favor and understanding from any doctor I encounter. It is well documented in my records that I have lost some of my leg ...

From NBC News (asking about guns in homes about halfway down) Fact check: Obama executive actions spark sound and fury, but not much to see in them By NBC's Domenico Montanaro, Deputy Political Editor Conservative opponents of President Obama have called him a “dictator,” a “tyrant,” “imperial,” for proposing executive actions he believes would help prevent gun violence. “President Obama is again abusing his power by impo ...

I am wondering if others run into what I have or is this just me who seems to have a bull's eye on them and others think they can say what they want and I will not respond. Anyway, this morning I went back to the ophthalmologist, had cataract surgery about 3 weeks ago. I noticed the first visit the day after surgery he seemed a little put off like he might have been a little huffy but nothing else happened that time. This morning we were talking and I was telling him about not being able to ...

My grandson had been complaining of abdominal pain for a few weeks on and off so my grandson made an appointment yesterday with a GI doc, well known in my town. We went to the appointment, I paid the $25.00 copay and it was the shortest doctors appointment I have ever been to. He walked in asked what the problem was and then said well lets schedule some tests to see what is going on. He scheduled both an EGD and colonoscopy on an 18 year old. Never touched my grandson, never felt his belly. ...

At least, not if they are going to be interacting with patients or dictating reports. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but this is ridiculous. I'm not xenophobic or racist but it just plain puts patient care in jeopardy when they can't communicate effectively with patients or speak clearly enough for MTs to understand them. I sit here and scream obscenities at my computer while these people are ruining my line counts because if I don't then I'll prob ...

Wow, what an inspiration they are! They took time out from their busy practices to rally in Washington. This is from late last year. At bottom of page is a COMMENT section containing comments (many of which are recent) from lots of other docs and nurses who couldn't make it to the rally. Remember that many practices are SMALL BUSINESSES, so these guys will be getting a double whammy from taxes, not just from CommieCare. What does that mean to us? EVERY DOCTOR ...

I swiped this from the board a few years ago and felt it was time to bring it back - it just never gets old (especially for MT's who have doctors that strictly adhere to these guidelines - LOL!) DICTATION GUIDELINES FOR DOCTORS: Adherence to these guidelines will assure the highest quality transcribed reports in the shortest amount of time. 1. At the beginning of the dictation, take as deep a breath as you can. Now, try to dictate the entire report before you have to inhale ...

I hope she strokes out just ahead of election day. ...

Apparently there was an independent, non-partisan survey done which came up with this finding, which I think is very telling. If the doctors feel this way, Obamacare is not the solution some people think it is.

Doctors are threatening to leave healthcare due to Obamacare. Medicine is going to a cookie-cutter modality and PAs and NPs will be in the near future. Face it our healthcare is in the pitts because doctors are not allowed to treat anymore. The government will be your only healthcare. I am opting out of all this even if I have to pay a penalty. After age 59, you will get palliative care. It is basically a death care plan and getting rid of the elderly people and the very young because it c ...

registration paperwork, i.e. name, address, phone, insurance info once a year even if nothing changes? And even if the only change that has been made is that you've gotten a new card from the same insurance company, why can't they just take a copy of the new card and that be it? I'm wondering this because I recently left the at-home MT biz to work in a doctor's office where I work the front desk, as well as transcribe office notes and I was told that we HAVE ...

89 people, including 14 doctors and nurses, were charged for their roles in various Medicare scams that bilked taxpayers of some $223 million through bogus charges, federal officials said Tuesday. How dare they go after health care providers for committing health care fraud? Next thing you know the IRS will be targeting tax evaders. ...

I am getting free healthcare right now (lost job). I have severe hallux valgus deformity with hammer toe #2 toe. It is obviously painful and I can't walk without pain and need to find a job. I am on unemployment now and this would be the perfect time to do the surgery so I have time to heal. Doctor said come back in four months. Is it because I am getting free healthcare? It's a program here in Cleveland at Metrohealth Medical Center that just started this summer. Just wondering ...

"Medical doctors are highly paid professionals. They earn more money - a lot more money - than your average American. What's more, American doctors get paid more than doctors in any other country.... So when you read stories about doctors whining that Affordable Care Act exchange plans don't pay them enough, please throw up a little in your mouth and proceed to ignore the doctors' complaints."

I *love* it when doctors ____ when dictating: * Randomly start swearing * Sniffle loudly and disgustingly * Forget the microphone is on and talk to everyone else in the office/hospital * Go to the bathroom C'mon, add yours! ...

Darwinist Jerry Coyne, who has recently advocated the medical killing of handicapped babies so they won’t “suffer,” has added another class of people to his kill list: people who are depressed. In response to a doctor’s suggestion in an article that a patient who was not physically suffering but who was depressed should be offered euthanasia, Coyne writes: My answer, as was that of another expert discussed in the piece, is “yes”, but I’d offer them antidepressants first… ...

It'll be a cold day in hell before I tell ovomit and his satanic HHS director Sebelius anything about my sex life. Doctors are now required to document in the health record how many sexual partners a patient has had. I go back and forth between saying "Oh, maybe 37,000" and "none of the F-ing government's business." Ovomit has gone past the point of no return with his total intent on turning America into a socialist or even communist country. http://politix.topix.com ...

"Obamacare plans have shrunk payments t physicians so much that some doctors say they won’t be able to afford to accept Obamacare coverage. Many of the 8 million sign-ups in Obamacare exchanges nationwide already face more limited choices for physicians and hospitals than those in the private insurance market. But with low physician reimbursement rates, the problem could get even worse." This is just ONE of many Obama headlines today. Is anyone surprised? ...

Here's an article about profiteers trying to buy doctor groups to "get control of their patient base and leverage those patients." I believe the model was transcription companies -- the idea was to round them up (Rodeer, anyone?) get control of the hospital accounts and leverage the MTs into accepting less and less. It worked on the little women so why not expand to credentialed men? ...

the deadly bombing Saturday of a hospital compound in the northern Afghan city of Kunduz that killed at least 19 people and wounded dozens more. It remains unclear exactly who bombed the hospital run by Doctors Without Borders and the international medical charity has demanded an investigation into the incident. Doctors Without Borders said that "all indications" pointed to the international military coalition as responsible for the bombing and called for an independent investigation. U.S. De ...

These are just a few... I just can't imagine what comes out of voice recognition software for some of these folks. She gets it on and off ever since she fell on her left hip in 2008 about twice a year. It is a little peculiar about the patient who has her symptoms worse during the day instead of usually first thing in the morning with the drainage is when it is the worst. Apparently the wife wanted her daughter who, according to the patient, he ...

(These are the insurance companies, folks, NOT OBAMA.) Insurers Push Plans Limiting Patient Choice of Doctors Sandy Huffaker for The New York Times By REED ABELSON Published: July 17, 2010 As the Obama administration begins to enact the new national health care law, the country’s biggest insurers are promoting affordable plans with reduced premiums that require participants to use a narrower selection of doctors or hospitals. The plans, being tested in places like San Diego ...
