Doctor Appointment Experiences

[Mr Bread]

What I'm saying is it isn't unprecedented in the emaw community.  You are not alone. 

[Mr Bread]

I have Bell's Palsy aka half my face won't be working for a while.

OH-MAH-GAWD KING

I laughed so rough ridin' hard at this it hurt me some.

Some pretty heavy stuff here.   On a lighter note,  Muldoon was once forgotten by the medical staff on the gurney while waiting for a colonoscopy.  More than 24 hours without food, anxiety, and listening to others be wheeled out who arrived after me had me set firmly as the #1 IRL douchebox.

Do not believe. Sorry.

To clarify,  I had to fast for more than 24 hours so there were no leftovers in my bowels.  I was forgotten for three hours.  Ended up just being some hemorrhoids.   Eat lots of fiber guys!

With that clarification, I am now a believer.

I found out today that my heart wants to explode less than it did 6 months ago, so that's good you guys!

We think it's a great idea and you keep shooting it down (BBS medicine)

Interesting if accurate. 

[Bloodfart]

Well if what you say is in fact accurate then I recant and say this.  Mrs Bf has been getting pressure from a classmate to start up a telemedicine practice/service for western Kansas folks to use.  Should she be worried about an increased potential for lawsuits?  Seems like its more likely for her to miss something and then 

[puniraptor]

No she should be worried about making tons of money she helping tubs of people.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I'd be less worried about lawsuits, really.

[Kat Kid]

Not sure it is less awkward for the physician to tell me to take my pants off and then leave for 5 min.  A simple turn around or wash hands and get gloves or whatever would be more efficient.

Ok, I think I know what your saying.

I basically mean that there is only so much you can do if you aren't physically present, so you really aren't going to screw anything up. It's not like you can lose a lawsuit as a doctor for a simple misdiagnosis, anyway.

HE needs the 5 minutes, not you.

[Dr Rick Daris]

practicioners with empathy never really get sued. so as long as she has that, she's fine whether she's seeing the person face to face or over the phone.

[420seriouscat69]

It was mostly my thyroid all a long. Levels are finally normal and my anxiety is only bad when I have to meet with my CEO. I think that's normal, right?

[steve dave]

I am a big proponent of the annual physical.
