Does that make sense if the doctor sees patients?

Posted By: The Other Sunshine on 2008-02-26
In Reply to: They are developers for medical practices. - have a fun day

My mom is supposed to get a hysterectomy. Her PCP has referred her to a doctor - she was looking him up in her directory to make sure he was covered under her insurance.

I'm so confused! ha

Okay, that does make more sense.
Thank you.
That would certainly make the most sense,

Does not make sense to me
That is really very strange. Have they been trying for awhile? MAYBE...is it possible that she had been to the doctor, and he heard results over the phone before she did? Maybe HE has not told HER yet that she is expecting? Stranger things have happened, I guess. I agree it is very strange behavior. I sure hope all works out well and it is not what you are thinking, that he's hurt you on purpose.
this does not make any sense to me
I am not getting this at all. If my son gained 100 pounds and my husband made him do chores all day, I would think that my husband was trying to be a father to my overweight son. When my husband fixes the car, he comes in the house, grabs my butt and wants to make out. If I went and told anybody else that he did these things he would be MORTIFIED!

Maybe that is abuse and maybe it is not. The point is that the original poster thinks it is abusive. She feels like she is living with someone she is afraid of.

Consulting other people that know her husband may not be the safest way for her to handle it. It doesn't matter what other people think. I stand by what I posted before. Leave or don't leave, but I would not try to get a consensus.
Does this sentence make sense?
I'm trying to write a letter. what i want to say is that more time is needed in the basic classes at school and special classes such as (music, art) should not take priority or cut into the core classes.

This is my sentence

There is lack of adequate class time is the core classes such as math, language arts, and science. Specials are great to have but specials do not dominate academia.

Does that make sense to anyone but me?
Doesn't make much sense since this is the gab board???? NM

I wish all physicians would explain to patients..
that although they are prescribing a medication which is primarily prescribed for XYZ, that is has also been found helpful in treating ABC.  A friend of mine who had recent rotator cuff surgery was given a new script by his pain clinic physician for a chief complaint of increased pain.  My friend looked up the medication on the internet, only to find that it was prescribed for depression.  He was under the impression he was given a pain medication prescription.  Needless to say, he expressed his displeasure to the physician regarding this and as a result, has lost trust in him and has left his practice.
That's true, I actually snipped a few off patients
when I worked as an MD assistant, if you can believe that one.
I know but we forget how uninformed a lot of patients are (sm)
Many people, like my own parents, just think of medical professionals as godlike and all-knowing. They don't even think they have a right to question, they just assume the medical person knows better. This man almost had his head cut open. :( and all he had was a kidney stone
A lot of gastric bypass patients have vitamin D deficiency
also iron, calcium, and B12. But I have known other people who also had a D deficiency.

The Boy Who Sees Through Sound
Its on TLC and repeating right now about a 14-yera-old who lost his sight to cancer at a young age, but he "clicks his tongue and can see" its AWESOME and if you get a chance to see it on repeat, I recommend it
I am so glad that someone sees this
besides me - my SIL had the nerve to call me selfish - like he has any idea how much I gave up for DD before he came along.  Right now I am waiting for an apology from him before I do anything else.  This was over me not being at a baby shower his mother was giving because I have to work.
Am I only the one who sees it differently?

I think your daughter has every right to be upset.  You just took in a stranger (and let's face it, he's an adult) and took away your daughter's friend.  Is this 18-yo working or still in high school?  Did his parents ask you to house him or did he move in because he didn't want to go with his parents?


If this 18-yo is working and didn't go with his parents because he didn't want to live with them, then he should be adult-enough to stand on his own two feet.  Your daughter comes first.  At 16, I had girlfriends staying over almost every weekend.  Why should she have to give up her "childhood" because of this stranger.  Perhaps this 18-yo can visit his parents on the weekend, so your daughter can have her friends over. 


As an aside, if this 18-yo continues to stay there, then you should sit both the 16-yo BF and the 18-yo down for a long talk.  It's obvious his parents aren't doing their job and they've just left it to you.  I think there's more to this story then we're getting here (and I don't mean that to be rude).  It's very noble that you would take this 18-yo in, but you need to remember that your family comes first.  Good luck to you!


He probably sees his reflection and is

defending his territory from the "other" bird. 


Love my feathered friends.  What kind of woodpecker, do you know?


I have a psych doc who sees a lot of kids...sm

with encopresis.  He *insists* that we type poop, pooped, pooping, etc.  I just love typing things like:  "The patient has not pooped his pants since the last visit." 


Makes me feel soooo professional.    (Not!)


Right?! It's like what the last thing a mouse sees.
  14 pounds eh?  She's just big boned!  Those vet bills are killer, aren't they?!  Our boy, Norman, the MaineCoon look-alike who went missing, twice had crystals or ash in his urine that required 2 emergency vet visits and catheterization or else his bladder would have ruptured.  Those bills combined were over $800...and the darned cat was a STRAY we picked out of the dumpster of the apartment building we were living in at the time.  Nosiree...ain't nuthin' for free I tell ya!  They are so worth it though and I really do think they appreciate all that we do for them. 
My sister sees a chiropractor and
the main reason she has to see him is that she sleeps with her arm over her head! He suggested she stop doing that, but she said it was the only way she could sleep. He said, "Okay, but it sure is making me money!"

I also remember a friend who would aften wake up with bruised knuckles and she didn't know why. She finally woke herself up in the middle of the night after she threw her hand over her head (again!) and cracked the headboard with her knuckles.

You might consider sewing cloth straps to your jammies, both the hem of the top and the long sleeve wrist fabric. Then you could tie them together before going to bed. At least with one arm. :o>


Very well put. I loved the movie and I'm sure anyone who sees

Yes, probably the only person on here that sees hypocrisy
Yesterday my husband mentioned about my spending quite a bit of money on the kittycat food. I asked why did he mind and he said I was spending our money. I asked him where he got that from. I consider my money mine and his his. I make my own, never use his and the same for him. You do know she had a high priced job before, don’t you. Quit hating on the first lady.
like a cow, he does what the guy in front of him does; sees it in the media, thinks it's real

A sociopath in every sense of

it actually makes no sense
to sell a sound, healthy horse at auction for a fraction of the price that can be sold outright. If the horse is too slow to race ont the track they can and are used in other disciplines. Its hard to believe that practice is widespread. When a horse finds its way to auction there are other underlying reasons..
I don't like her, but this makes sense to me.

My sense of decorum.

Believe it or not, I used to be very civilized.  No potty mouth, no lewd or lascivious behavior, and no leaving the bathroom door open when someone was in there for any reason whatsoever.  Now my day isn't complete unless I get this sweet nothing whispered into my ear:
"Hey Kath, pull my finger." 



I will try to talk sense to the ex

Tomorrow's my day off, and I will see if the ex is receptive to reason.  We have real problems communicating about most any issue, his general attitude is "don't you dare try to tell ME what to do, biatch!".  It is the policy of his household to have all calls put on speakerphone and let anybody in his household at the time I call horn in on what I wish could be private phone conversations with my son.  I have repeatedly complained to the court about this practice, the court has ordered him to keep the speaker phone off when I call, but he ignores it, and even if I go to the trouble of recording/submitting every conversation to the court, they aren't going to do anything about it.


He is deeply involved with people (who I knew very well back when) that are paranoid hypochondriacs who have abused antibiotics to the point that no antibiotics work for them any more.  Since he mentioned their name when he barged into the last phone conversation, I am assuming they have his ear and have influenced him into this overreaction.  Since I disagree with his actions he is likely to become hostile and tell me to shove off, but I guess I'll try and see if there's any hope of making him see reason.  I suppose it'll all be about timing - if there's a houseful of ne'er do wells shouting comments when I call tomorrow, I'll know whether to try or not.


Common sense
I remember in 9th grade, back in the 1970s, we had to give a speech for English in front of the whole class. Mine was on first aid. I demonstrated several pretend procedures on a volunteer. Then my volunteer was suffering from a snake bite, so I was demonstrating the technique that was in vogue at the time, where a knife was used to cute the puncture wounds and so the poison could be sucked out. I pulled out my demonstration knife and my teacher suddenly came on camera to examine my knife. Not being a dummy, I had made a cardboard knife, colored the handle part black, and covered the blade in tin foil. In the back side I had taped a fine-tipped red pen. It looked real on camera as long as you held it the right way. That teacher didn't like me, and he spent a good 30 seconds examining the weapon, during my taped presentation, before he was satisfied he could not get me in trouble for it.

No, I was no dummy.
thanks. that makes more sense anyway
just like it's redundant to have prayer request and Christianity.
Ya know, that makes no sense to me
There are bosses and I expect them to make more than me, my gosh, if not then I would have tried to be high on the totem pole- I care nothing about running a business, done that before, am just as happy as I want to be with the salary I make and concerns me not that people like Trump and others make more- they work a lot harder than I do or have in the past.
That makes sense (nm)

What he needs is some parents with some sense (sm)
I feel sorry for you as his neighbor and sorry for him that his parents have raised him to be this way.  They shouldn't talk to him that way.  If the people who are supposed to love you more than anyone on Earth treat you like that, then how would you possibly learn to treat other people with decency and respect?  If anything actually needs to happen, it is that DSS needs to be called and told how the parents talk to their child. He doesn't need military school...he needs to be treated like a human being, then maybe he can act like one...if it is not too late. You should report this to DSS.  I am usually the last one who would say that because I think children are almost better off with their parents, messy house or whatever, but in this case, this child needs help.
now you are making sense! sm
I am not being mean, just trying to get you to think! Now you will have to call a domestic abuse person in your state or an attorney and ask what you have to do. BUT if you truly are scared, you can go to a "safe house" tell them your story and I guarantee they will help you. Explain what you have said that you thought you hd waited too long. Also tell them what the cop told you years before. They hve heard it all. I am just trying to get you to leave before its too late. Sometimes it takes a rough push but you CAN do it and do well. Don't ever get it in your head there are no options. There are always options nad always hope as long as there is breath and life!
Use some common sense
Just as women have things they are uncomfortable with, weight, breasts, etc...men don't want an ugly uncircumsized penis, so get over it and do your boy a favor.  Not to mention all the health reasons.  Sheesh!  My son or husband hardly remember the little skin at the top of their penis being taken off.  Give me a break! 
makes sense to me (sm)
I think I'm going to check around with some other dentists.  Thanks for confirming my thoughts that they are overcharging.  They seem to have a problem filing insurance in a timely manner as well and I've had issues with them over that in the past. 
well that makes a little more sense
if she was selling the songs to other people. $1.9 million is a little steep just for downloading for personal use.
I agree. It only makes sense to me.....
Only in America do we spend all this money to figure out who to release a dead body to. Let's see.....a mother who hasn't had anything to do with her daughter for 20 years or.....an attorney who was living off the deceased for five years.....Lay her body at rest with her son. Figure out who the father is of the baby and let it be. One thing though, the judge is so comical, it's almost like watching a comedy movie. When he said "loose as a goose" yesterday, I thought I would die laughing so hard!!!
ok he sounds like he has a sense of humor..LOL.

and now I want to tell you there is an organization called messies.com (I think) - I heard about it five years ago and there is also messies anonymous which is alot like the 12-step program that I heard about.


You can Google the issue - *companies that help messy people get organized*


That's my only suggestion because maybe he's NOT a passive- aggressive and I merely assumed that (?) - If I did, I'm sorry, didn't mean to offend....however, I am not convinced as yet that I did make an error. 


Not offended, just thinking with some sense
She is emotional because of what has happened. Legally, you cannot obtain someone elses records - I told her to contact lawyer because this is not a good thing to tell. It is not legal period. She can try to protect but you cannot take the laws into your own hands, well you can but then you might be put in jail. I am just telling her the facts like they are. She can insist on him having testing but again she CANNOT make him do it. Not her call.
I'm not going to judge you. I've been there in the sense that sm
I had to be the other woman telling the other man to "get over me, I'm married." I would say you definitely sparked an interest in his life and it's probably been "fun" for him to know that he still "has what it takes." ALL men want to be someone's hero and you were/are his cheerleader - if he's been married for any length of time and he's getting to intimate in conversation with you then I can guarantee that she's probably no longer his cheerleader. Men need that. I know exactly what happened between you two as it happens every single day.
Sometimes the men (and women) who meet other people (whether at work, on line, etc) will go even further than this man has gone and will meet up with you, sleep with you and try to carry on a relationship with you for as long as they can get away with it. It is wrong and dangerous. I believe you do have very strong feelings for him.
The reality is this: He is married. Happily? Who knows. It's still wrong. You must, and I repeat, must pick up your dignity, look at your beautiful face in the mirror and say, "There is an available man out there who would love to love me! Lord, help me find him. I deserve it!" And you do. We all do.
Morally, ethically, anyway you look at this, it is wrong. Even if he were to leave his wife for you, you would be considered an adulter in the eyes of God for stealing another man's wife. You are NOT AN ADULTERER. You are a beautiful woman who deserves her own man.
Good luck to you. Do the right thing. As painful as it will be, you will be blessed if you let him go. He can't be had right now.
I know - sick sense of humor but...

Movie I laughed out loud to most recently was Hostel.  Way creepy movie/plot but still just couldn't stop myself when that girl's eyeball was bouncing off her cheek.


Definitely - Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Road to Wellsville, O Brother, Shrek


Your post makes the most sense in that
I had a little girl and when she first started taking, having heard my first name, she tried to call me the same. I would say, "to others I am so and so but to you I am mamma." Then when she called me by the first name I would ignore and then when Mamma I would acknowledge and answer. I told him exactly what you said. No he has not had a sex change but says hated his real name all his life, since his childhood and therefore the change. I told him he should have sent his own flowers, also but the deed was already done. I do not find it silly to want to be known by your name, though. I personally had to tell my father before when he would not acknowledge my remarrying (sending checks, etc. in the first name) that he would have to put new name on my mail or whatever. He also tried to do the same with me basically. Finally came around, though.
You made perfect sense -- it only went to him
Unless you put her name on the CC of the new email or hit reply to all, it only went to him.  Whew - you can breathe easy again!
at least you've still got a sense of humor
Good luck. 
And I would hope adults have more sense than that,
99 out of 100 is unbelievable to me. I find his statement ridiculous for people who are considered grown.
