It was funny, because most of them were medical-ish, but I got a bariatric center, a therapist... Lupine Send a noteboard - 11/02/2010 02:25:03 PM
Things like that for numbers that were supposed to be MD doctors. But I've realized that I might know some people who know some townies, so we'll see if I get anywhere that way.

Can I giggle w/o making you angry?:P

I thought it was funny too, especially since it was such a good dream! :P

Write it down! Seriously, everything you notice. I always forget something when I'm in there, because even though I don't feel nervous, I act like a moron during most doc appointments. I hardly say anything. I think I feel as though I'm bothering them and they are going to think I'm stupid. So anyway, make a list and hand it over. If it makes you feel better, just say that you really don't know what's an issue and what's not, but you thought they'd want all the (possible) aberrations you've noticed.

Okay. *nods* Yeah, I get that too... I think it is partly because many doctors I've seen tend to be very efficient and competent-like, so they want to get information quickly, process it quickly, and send you on your way. There's not a lot of space to waffle on about things you aren't sure are a problem or are even real (for example, I really suck at noticing pain). The best doc I ever had was in the uni flu clinic here last semester. He was so calm and deliberate, despite the dozens of students flooding that clinic, that he actually noticed I couldn't breathe, took the time to administer a test, and taught me how to use an inhaler. It didn't take long at all, but it's not something most doctors would bother with if you didn't say anything. (And before you yell at me, I hadn't noticed it myself! Or registered it as Problem anyway.)

You might want to call your insurer and talk to them about who to see. - 10/02/2010 03:34:53 PM 414 Views
Do you think an actual person would have better referrals than the website? - 11/02/2010 03:14:01 PM 474 Views
I do, and sorry for the delay. - 15/02/2010 02:11:55 PM 448 Views

I don't agree with your characterization of commonly proposed healthcare solutions. - 10/02/2010 04:42:06 PM 441 Views
I don't think he's mischaracterizing anything so much as responding to Jens' point directly. - 10/02/2010 04:54:55 PM 505 Views

Have you never looked at the boatloads of information that your insurer has surely sent to you? *NM* - 10/02/2010 04:19:09 PM 125 Views
I've never been sent a thing from them... - 10/02/2010 04:28:57 PM 429 Views
