I'm planning on Halo after Better Off Ted and a collapsed wife. -- nm - David Jan 5, 15:43 3

LYC rant click here (although, opinions greatly appreciated) -- sorry for the length. - Totally Fedup Jan 5, 15:10 39
- No, you shouldn't apologize. Mostly because not giving you the medication you need is dangerously close to malpractice. - the liioulu with enamel Jan 5, 15:43
- My only question is this: If you don't like him that much, why not switch primary care phys? - musubi Jan 5, 15:21 1
  - laziness on my part I suppose. I am mostly embarrassed for making a scene. The content was correct. -- nm - fedup Jan 5, 15:27
- it is your fault you did not leave his care sooner. - groiny Jan 5, 15:21
- Not sure I'd characterize him as "not caring about your well-being"... - Dr.Vermin Jan 5, 15:21 15
  - Agreed on the first two points. According to him though, "all of my other 1000 patients have no issues with me". -- nm - fedup Jan 5, 15:24 10
    - If he's 1 doc with 1000 patients, it's no wonder he can only give you 10 minutes. - musubi Jan 5, 15:26 9
      - i will i will. i just think it's wrong for a doctor not to provide comprehensive care in one session and expect a person to have time to come back an - fedup Jan 5, 15:29 8
        
        Actually, a lot of doctors don't. He scheduled you for 10 min based on the problem you told the receptionist. If you have more concerns, ask the - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 5, 15:46
        
        I'm not saying you're wrong. Maybe he does. But there are also possible legit reasons that he's under pressure to keep visits short. - musubi Jan 5, 15:36 6
        
        The doctor might just want fedup to break up with him. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 15:39 4

        He's Just Not That Into Your Health. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 15:40
        
        thank you! (yes and my irritation escaladed bc he tends to brush people off with rude comments himself...which is still wrong of me to be rude...) -- nm - fedup Jan 5, 15:39
  - The doctor specifically makes a point thatr he is "sacrificing" his time to spend more than 10 minutes examining a patient and answering questions. - TWuG Jan 5, 15:22 3
    - And I bet he bills for 30. -- nm - the liioulu with enamel Jan 5, 15:41 2
      - I think a doctor's billable activities extend to more than just the facetime with the patient. - Dr.Vermin Jan 5, 15:44 1
        
        more like charting the shit out of the visit to cover his ass if he ever gets sued - dogbert Jan 5, 15:48
- Any doctor that views interacting with patients who have legit questions and medical concerns as "sacrificing" his time - TWuG Jan 5, 15:18 1
  - Yes ... there's a movement towards creating a profession of "healthcare advocacy" to prevent this kind of indifference. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:19
- 1) In america? Yes. 2) In america? Find a different doctor, just like you'd find a different service provider for anything else. Never look back. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:16 1
  - Corollary: You know what they call someone who graduates bottom-of-the-class in medical school? - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:17
- well... - b. Jan 5, 15:16 [Backboard] 3
  - is there any way to rate a doctor? or to find out about people's past experiences? -- nm - fedup Jan 5, 15:21 2
    - there's a website for that. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:21 1
      - there are, but some make you pay beyond number of stars. googling goes a long way these days - message board posts by patients, yelp sometimes, too; - b. Jan 5, 15:36
- no, but yes. That was not an appropriate way to tell him. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:16
- 1) it's your fault or your parents' fault that your old records weren't xferred. NOT HIS FAULT. -- nm - amanda Jan 5, 15:11 9
  - right, i know that now. for some reason it doesn't feel right though. to provide proper care, doctor's need old records. i just thought they seek t - fedup Jan 5, 15:18 8
    - sometimes records will be requested (if you don't ask that they be moved along yourself), but that's usually only when changes in certain conditions - b. Jan 5, 15:23
    - "are you allergic to penicillin?" "I don't know." "ok, here have some. let's try." *now* do you see? -- nm - amanda Jan 5, 15:21 5
      - but if you are allergic to penicillin and you try, couldn't you die...? -- nm - fedup Jan 5, 15:31 4
        
        this is my point. this is why he needs your records to give you care. -- nm - amanda Jan 5, 15:34 3
        
        but if it's that serious, then shouldn't he seek out my records if he doesn't have them? or ask me to get them for him? - fedup Jan 5, 15:36 2
        
        he never asked? maybe he asked your parents and they didn't supply them. how do you know? -- nm - amanda Jan 5, 15:38 1
        
        true. never thought of that. but he didn't ask my parents bc i asked him not to mention it to them. -- nm - fedup Jan 5, 15:41
    - no, you have to do it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:19

        MMS. we always had SMS. the M is new. -- nm - amanda Jan 5, 15:00 28
        
        yes, MMS on iPhones only launched in September in San Francisco, and then october US-wide - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:01 2

        ok, I was about to say he won't stop texting me either. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:01 24
        
        emailing a photo is different to MMSing it. your phone should differentiate. -- nm - amanda Jan 5, 15:03 1
        
        yeah, MMS is phone-to-phone, email is ... email ... and this post ... is pointless. *shuts up* -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:04

        it's still one of the few phones on the market that is hearing aid incompatible. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:07 19
        
        it's not marketed to oldsters, who are most likely to use hearing aids. I would bet that the age curve for the iphone and the age curve for hearing - amanda Jan 5, 15:09 18
        
        I heard a while back that iphone users aren't that young.. let's look! here. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 5, 15:18
        
        every other phone manufacturer does it. Plus, they were sued and fined over it, because it's a legal requirement. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:17 6
        
        I thought you had issues finding a phone that worked with hearing aids when you first got them. - amanda Jan 5, 15:19 5
        
        I do. All manufacturers are required to sell at least one compatible phone. Apple does not. ergo, illegal. - loosilu Jan 5, 15:21
        
        I recall the subject ... the IM only works when manufacturers provide an automatic transmission option. Apple doesn't (or didn't in the past, I dunno) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:20 3
        
        (also, you can learn to drive stick ... honest. Can't learn to hear better :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:21 2
        
        if cars were required by the fed govt to be available in automatic, this would be a good analogy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:22 1
        
        yeah, it kind of breaks down on that point; they are required by public demand to have it, so it doesn't need to be regulated ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:24
        
        it's marketed to hipsters (at least originally) ... a subset of hipsters do have hearing damage, from rave music ... and from ipods - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:13 9
        
        most importantly, it's illegal, and they're jerks. Yes, the razr is fine. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:17 8
        
        I love them. my iphone is so good to me. sorry you're so embittered by the sitaution. -- nm - amanda Jan 5, 15:23 3
        
        they've had what, three years to work this out? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:24 2
        
        yeah, I'm really sorry for your loss. but you've also said you think it and its service overpriced. - amanda Jan 5, 15:35 1
        
        because it's a chat forum and we're all in a chatty mood, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:42
        
        do you know if the 3GS has the same hearing aid issue? They may have improved it for the refresh. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:18 3
        
        If you mean the iphone, it is still incompatible as far as I know. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:22 2
        
        Yes, I mean the iPhone 3GS. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:24 1
