My husband, my son, and my brother-in-law went hunting last weekend.  We have two quads and my BIL has his own quad.  They got home very late and all the quads were on my BIL's trailer and no one felt like unlaoding them, so my BIL took them home with him (they have two acres).  I got a call yesterday saying one of our quads was stolen.  I asked where did they have them?  My BIL took them off the trailer and put them right next to a small three-foot fence that butts up to a pretty major side street.  He stored his own in his garage.  In the past my BIL stored his quads on his back porch.  Apparently, the thieves lifted the small lighter one up and over the fence.  The other one was too heavy so they didn’t steal it.  We had insurance on the heavy one, but not the light one.  We paid $1,700 for it new about three months ago.  Right off before we got an apology or anything, my sister said they won't claim it on their homeowners.  They suggested we lie and say it was stolen here at our house and claim it on ours, but my husband and I do not feel comfortable at all with this and will not do it.

My question is what part in all of this does my BIL play for storing it where it could so easily be stolen?  I wouldn’t think anything about it if that is where they stored their own, but they don’t.  They won't use their homeowners so we are out $1,700.  Neither one of them apologized to me or anything until after I had spoken with my mother who then in turn called them and then they called me apologizing.  In other words, my mother told them to call and apologize. 

I can’t make them pay for it.  I know my husband is partially at fault for being too tired to unload them, but I’m just so frustrated regarding where my BIL stored them.  Yes, they have had their vehicle broken into on that side street and have had a trailer stolen from their driveway, so they should know better.  They also have two acres to store them and the other half of their yard is fenced with a five-foot fence.

I guess we are just out the money and the quad.  Unfortunately, we won't be able to replace it anytime soon.

Sorry to vent.

Thanks for your reply! I'm looking to sign on PT with a company on here. I'll just get my computer upgraded and get a foot pedal, head phones, and some books from my clinic job. I'll get started and see where I go. . . By the way, is there a glossary on here someplace where I can look some terms like "Big 4 experience" and "Acute care" or "ELS experience". I just don't hear those terms where I work.

I just finished my chemo and radiation for breast cancer.  I have health insurance but found out that they only pay 80%.  I have become overwhelmed with hospital bills.  Does anybody know if those companies are on the up and up, that say that they can help you cut your medical bills ? 

Thanx for any help.

I just watched an unsettling video about a young high school student diagnosed with cancer.  Had to have his leg amputated and he had excrutiating pain that kept him awake through the night for about 3 months.  Doctors kept giving him narcotic drugs and he was doped up/sleeping all the time.  He started receiving medical marijuana (in a controlled clinic) and it helped.  He said he would be able to function during the day and get his stuff done.  He regained his appetite and was able to build his muscle tissue back up (mind you this is not some dope addict - this is a clean cut high school student who used to play on the football team, definitely not someone who is going in just to get their "fix").  Anyway...this medical clinic was set up in California and evidently the person in charge of the police department of the town didn't like it because "he believed it does not work".  So he called the DEA, they went in and raided the place and threw the doc in charge of the clinic on the floor handcuffed him and hauled him off to jail.  Evidently the clinic was approved, they show pics of the doctor in charge of the clinic shaking hands with the mayor and being welcomed to the city.  Well after they raided his office they then went to his home and raided his home.  Now this doctor is facing possibly 100 years in jail (all because some uptight police person in charge does not believe medical marijuana works and he is against it.  The parents even said "what part of this don't they understand.  Medical marijuana helps.  It rejuvinates the brain cells, brings back hunger so cancer patients and others with serious illness will be able to eat and get better and not be suffering with pain.  No instead they want to dispense drugs by the pharmaceutical companies that are killing people and keeping them comatose.  It just makes me sick that this form of treatment is not being allowed for more people who need it (not just want it to get high - but actually need it).  This is why we need to get rid of big government.  Give the power back to the people where it belongs.

Considering your FIL has had a stroke, who's his proxy?.... he can't sign for himself....Someone has to run down to medical records and sign a release for ALL the medical records pertaining to the dates in question......ER, HP, procedures, consults, progress notes,  labs, anything you can think of ...You are entitled to a free copy and it will be sent to your home address within a week.      

Docs at the new hosp may be able to access records over the internet as a course of professional courtesy.   Hope he recovers soon.              

You obviously do not understand how the medical economy works (smiles and winks).  Docs love seeing patients once a year when they already know whats wrong (usually not much).  It's easy money just like it is when we get a standard dictation.  Since insurance will pay for it, they order all kinds of lab tests and maybe some imaging - you know, screening just in case - so they don't actually have to take the time to ask you if something is bothering you or listen to what you tell them.  That takes too much time, and time is money.  This also keeps the labs and imaging services in business (some of which the docs have invested in).  When it comes to drugs, they do not want you using the old tried and true.  That sucker is off patent and can be bought cheap and sometimes OTC with no prescription and office visit required.  No, they want to give you the latest thing that is still on patent and costs a bundle.  That's medical planned obsolescence, maybe because the docs invest in the drug companies, too.

If you remember the names of the other creams that have worked, you could try running them past a pharmacist.  He/She should be able to tell you if any are available OTC.

paying something else late.  I could not tell my child, bio, non-bio, raised or not raised, no when they are ill.

You are a doctor. You have an 80-year-old patient with stage 4 cancer, who has just finished radiation treatments. The patient is on Medicare. You (the doctor) know of a new drug that "might" slow the cancer, but it has not been approved by Medicare yet, and the cost is $1000 per week.

Do you recommend this drug to this patient's family?
