Does anyone know why doctors keep delaying surgery on bunionectomy?

debate until the 9th, so he can have this "debate" in Congress - even though he said he doesn't have to, mind you. Just a ploy so if they say no, he has an excuse, can blame it on the Republicans. Seems to me if he were really serious about this, he'd call them all back from vacation - NOW. How many more will be killed? Well, he's done, made his speech, headed to golf course. He really does sicken me. We are now the laughingstock of the world wi ...

Hospital is in Rhode Island. Scary stuff. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,571287,00.html?test=latestnews ...

I would like prayer for my husband and for myself. My husband needs a surgery to fix his vertebraes in his neck and we have been looing for a way to get it done. I have applied at the state and it is held up until and if they do select our name. I have been looking for a medical grant of some sort to get it paid. Also, I am going to start school in March,2010 for MEdical Transcriptionist, and I have received a pell grant but I need a way to pay my living costs while I go ...

I am just trying to get as much info as possible. Looks right now like it will be a RNY in India (insurance does not cover it, cost including air fair and all medical costs around $8,000 compared to 25-30,000 in the USA.) Has anyone here gone through it and how was the process? Was it open or lap? What was the recovery time? How have you adapted to the dietary changes afterwards? ...

If so, do you need readers for computer work? How soon did you return to transcribing? ...

How soon after cataract surgery did you return to transcription? What lens did you have implanted? I have beginnings of cataracts and am considering RLE (refractive lens exchange). Has anyone tried this? I am not a LASIK candidate because of dry eyes and large pupils. ...

I am having upcoming surgery and do not want to use what little bit of sick time I have (because then I'm in a pickle if I get the flu or something). I inquired if I could use a few vacation days and then have a few off unpaid if needed (because I often use vacation days for necessary things rather than something pleasant). I was told I could either go the FMLA route and will have to eat up any sick time I have or have to use all vacation time, which will wipe mine out. Do most ...

Found out today I need to have my gallbladder removed due to stones and irritation of the pancreas. Can someone who has had this surgery tell me how long they were off work? Thanks in advance! ...

Did anyone have surgery for de Quervain's tenosynovitis? I had one injection a year ago, which resolved the issue. However, a few months later the condition returned worse than ever. My surgeon said the procedure "usually" eliminates the problem, but scar tissue may form which would cause pain, and the need for an additional procedure. ...

I'm hoping someone on this board will have had, or know someone who has had, vein ablation therapy, also called EVLT and EVLA. It's done in the doctor's office under Versed twilight sedation and local numbing medicine in each incision on the leg. I have chronic venous insufficiency, which has, over the past year, taken a toll on my life. I have constant aching pain in both calves every waking moment. The pain even wakes me in up from sleep. Both ankle ...

Enough to say to the world that his colleagues are not owned by or subordinate to Trump. I don't have the stomach to call myself a pub after what they've done for 40 years, but he makes me proud anyway. Order, what a concept. Bet wanna be king Trump is furious. McCain has more balls than ANY of those who defend Trump's incompetent narcissistic words and actions ...

Has anyone out there had rotator cuff surgery? I am afraid that is what I am facing. I am having an MRI in a few days and then probably talking to a surgeon. It has gotten to the point that I can't handle the pain anymore when I "forget" and use that arm the wrong way. How long did it take you to get back to working?? I can't afford to be out 6 weeks as I have no disability insurance and basically as an MT living from paycheck to paycheck. I do have 2 wee ...

a 10-second right hemicolectomy? (dictated: October 2008 right hemicolectomy) ...

I've been a MT for about 30 yrs. I had to go on disability due to back pain, then had 2 back surgeries. Thank God the neurosurgeon did a GREAT job and I'm ready to go back to work, but I HAVE to get up at least once an hour to walk for like 15 minutes. What do I tell (if I do) a prospective employer that I have this problem? How do I do this? I've got to get back to work now! Thanks! ...

I decided to contact one of the managers where I had my cataract surgery about 4 weeks ago now as striving to see what other options might be open for me. Needless to say I do not have any desire to return to the original surgeon, not that he failed but with his flaring up about a perfectly innocent comment from me, will not trust him in going forward with any tweeking that might need to be done. I have an appointment to see the manager on Monday. I like to speak face to face with a person, not ...

So I went to the orthopedist in May, had xray of my shoulder. At that time it was popping quite a bit and hurting (hurting that is until I got to the office, but you know how that is). Bottom line, xray done, doctor studied for a minute (could see his scanning as he was directly outside the room pondering the radiograph). He said you can just watch and if it should become more painful then surgery. Ok so it got worse over these few months. Am trying to sit operation up, getting okay from PCP (to ...

Wish had never had nerve block to help with pain afterwards, now neck pain, etc. and just seeing if any others had this happen to them. ...

Cousin to have the other leg operated on today. It is his femur and they will put him on his stomach for that. He is still having much pain, but he wished his mother Happy Birthday which meant a lot to her. He doesn't stay awake long though. Please pray for him. This leg has a worse chance to have infection. So far temp is 97. ...

Hi Fellow MTs: I was wondering if anyone that has had their GB out has had any pain with the trocar sites that bothered them. I am 1 month out from GB surgery and it seems as though I have more pain in one of these sites than the others. It is a slight throbbing type pain and I have good days and bad days with some nausea, but not a lot. Luckily I have Phenergan for nausea. I know that some people have GB symptoms after surgery but it w ...

Anyone underwent PPH gun surgery for mucosal prolapse and hemorrhoids? I was operated on 14th June and it's over 2 weeks now and 70% of the symptoms are still there. What is the recovery period? Any experiences? ...

If God brings it to your mind, please pray for my friend, Lori. She is to have surgery for breast cancer tomorrow at 1 CST. ...

Just typing a hysteroscope exam where the doctor is examining the woman's cervix. Instead of saying a "Smith and Nephew" was used, he said a "SMITH AND WESSON" was used! Wow! Street violence now overtakes the operating room! I bet that hurt a lot! He immediately started laughing and corrected himself! ...

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 ...
