Well no crap it's hayseed clams.  That's not the point, these assholes are treating the patients out there like crap.  There are docs there that have their mid level see the patients.  Then they will sign the charts like they saw the patient without ever laying an eye on the patient.  (they can't bill anything unless a doc signs off on it.) There are patients being billed for orders that were not even written by a qualified professional.

This scenario happened the other day where Mrs. Bf works.  She was trying to setup a procedure to be done on a patient.  She calls the specialist on duty that was covering for the regular guy.  He say "oh I can't do blah blah procedure because I specialize in a completely diff area lol." (but he will sit there and collect the $100/hr pay check whilst doing nothing!? WTF?)

Meanwhile Mrs. Bf MD has to figure out what to do with a patient that was transferred in whom she accepted because she thought this particular procedure would be covered.

This is why I never go to the doctor under any circumstance.

The Dr. has to see the patient or be in-house to bill a physicians fee legally.  What is actually happening is the Dr. is sitting at home in bed and having a CNP admit the patients then billing under the Dr's name.  Also there have been many incidents of Dr.s admitting patients under another Dr.s name.

people that are part of the same practice can oversee and bill under the other's npi. so the dr billing under another is ok. a cnp admitting and billing under a dr that is not there is also ok as long as his partner is "there". none of this really sounds all that uncommon but then again i really have no rough ridin' clue what is going on there because it's all so rough ridin' vague. dunno.

Anyone break a middle toe? Did on an excursion here in Jamaica. Hurts like hell. I just taped my toes together for support. Not sure what else you can do for it.

Yeah, there is nothing really to do for a toe, unless it is the big toe (to a point), pretty much not walking on it, reducing swelling, and taking pain meds as needed, and time is about all you can do for toes.

Toes are just too small, hard to cast, and as long as they are obviously jutting in weird direction you kinda have to let them do.
