I think old docs may still have them but I haven't seen younger docs with

Docs
Have you ever been to a doctor's office and the nurse asks you some pertinent information, and you might say "I have had a TAH&BSO" or a D&C, and the nurse will say "What is that?" I just freak, I know I have been doing this for 20+ years, but sometimes I wonder if the nurse is really a nurse- yes I know some can be aids or physician taught, but I think I would just take the info down, reassure the patient and find out what it was when I left the room.
Yes I have tried to tell a doctor who may be filling in for my reg doc what has helped with migraines and severe back problems, and I swear they will give me something totally different because they think I am drug seeking. If they would just really listen or look at what you do on the occupation sheet which they make you fill out, things might go a little smoother in everyone's life.
ESL docs have got to be the funniest!
I have one who always says "patient lives alone at home by himself." Another one seems beyond being able to use correct medical terminology for bodily functions. All his patients "poop" and "pee." The kids also have "snotty noses."
You would be surprised what docs can
get away with in a hospital setting. Been there.
don't believe the docs....Jerry Lewis has this
Sorry for your news and I know this doesn't answer your question (yet), but I have to say just because an MD says someone has used up 2 out of 5....doesn't make it sure that's going to happen.....many people live beyond what the doctors say.....
Jerry Lewis has pulmonary fibrosis and was a mess a few years ago (and IS aging) but is doing much better he said in comparison to that time....
As for what I'd want to do? Just be with the ones I love the most and do some traveling........making sure to say the things to the loved ones prior to my demise...in other words, making sure I got it all out and cleared all the air if there might be air to clear.......and so that all questions from everyone would be answered prior to my demise, to leave nobody with unanswered questions about just about anything and everything....
Reminder: MDs are not god(s)......they have been wrong....they told my friend her father had *6 months to live max*, and he lived on another 3+ years....
My docs seem to be playing catch-up. I see it as

I know, most docs really don't adequately warn you (sm)
I went from having a moderately light, 4 day period, to having a very heavy 7 day period! I also had a lot of the other symptoms associated with post tubal ligation syndrome. I wish I had done more research first! I think it is better for him to have a vasectomy - far, far easier and less recovery time too.
Docs need to warn more about complications sm
Docs sometimes do not explain complications of drug interactions, they are way too rushed. Also, the drugs were prescribed in another country. The label on the Xanax said 2 mg, not strong enough to kill anyone. Lots of side effects from Ambien, although used correctly, it's a wonder drug. First time I was bluntly told I had "cancer" and needed surgery "yesterday" I couldn't sleep and Ambien 5 mg was a lifesaver to me, I went to sleep within minutes and woke up refreshed with no ill effects, it is a wonder drug to me, but many in my community have gotten into trouble with the law from mixing it with alcohol and doing terrible things. It sounds like this person was very distraught and it was an accident, pure and simple. He was a talented person who was going through so much pain. He loved his little girl so much, it must have been heart wrenching for him. I am not going to judge him, I just hope he and his family can be at peace if that is at all possible in this cruel world (for the family) and in the next (for him). God bless them all!
I think if they penalized the docs signing off
fewer people getting it. I worked an oncology office and we had people all the time wanting these forms filled out. Yes, some were legitimate, but the majority were people with anemia, thrombocytopenia or status post their cancers in complete remission. My doc never signed unless the person absolutely was entitled to it. I think if more docs got a backbone and quit signing off on these, you'd see a lot less people getting disability.
It's the normal instinct for Americans to "take what they can get", but what excuse do the docs have for signing off on it?
First off, what kinds of tests have the docs run???....sm
When my son Adam was 14, he came down with severe aches, light sensitivity, sore throat off and on, EXTREME FATIGUE, etc. His doctor suspected mono and did a Monospot to check this out, complete white count with diff, and also EB virus serologies. and Yup, he did have mono, it took a couple of months to get him over the worst. Lots of rest, good eating habits, and multivitamins is all you can do until the virus gets erradicated. And no contact sports or heavy activities, because the spleen gets very enlarged during mono and they worry about rupture with a blow, etc.
If no tests have been done, I would get a good pediatrician ASAP who will do a CBC with diff, white count, sed rate, UA, EBV serologies and Monospot, and get him diagnosed!! The ear thing may or may not be a part of this, could be a concurrent illness on its own, but if he has been this sick this long, "guessing" at the etiology is wasting time, you need to know for sure what exactly is wrong with your son to treat him properly.
Not trying to be an alarmist, but have raised two and my third is 11 right now so have been through the Streps, pneumonias, my third baby was born with vesicoureteral reflux and needed prophylactic antibiotics the first year of life (he outgrew it right after that, thank God, but we spent 8 days of he!! in the hospital as they put the 3-week old through spinal taps and ALL TYPES of tests, two weeks in hospital with my little girl at 5 years with severe double pneumonia, etc!). Hopefully, if it is mono/EBV, he will recover really quickly, but YOU also need to put your mind at rest, too! Take good care of each other, and update us, okay??? God Bless
Most docs stink these days. And they think everyone is a hypochondriac
if they can't figure out what you have. Good luck to you and I hope you feel better and you find a decent doctor (good luck with that too!)
but I do believe fibro can be a catchall diagnosis when docs can't (sm)
figure out what's wrong with you!
Working my butt off, all my docs went nuts -sm
have about 180 minutes of dictation to do.......interuptions galore over the weekend so hard to work! Hope to watch the game though, we will see, definitely watching half-time as I love Tom Petty and have since I was 12! (so 30 years). Cannot wait for that especially since not sure if I will go to see him on his upcoming tour as he is coming to my area on a Sunday and kids want to go too, but they would have school the next day and the show is about 90 minutes away from me. So not sure what I am going to do yet.
I hate when the docs say foul smelling diarrhea
when does diarrhea ever not smell foul??? I also hate when they say creamy white sputum - makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
Older than stated age, pendulous breasts, and docs who...
use elderly for anyone under 70!
Please understand, being that you are younger than how long I have smoked, docs
used to ENCOURAGE it - I am sure others can remember. Doc sitting with a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket and suggesting it for best stress reliever. Do I blame them? No, not at all. I truly feel that cancer is such a huge money machine that medicine would be hurting poorly if a cure was actually found (or disclosed). And, as you have not smoked before, you are entirely correct in that you cannot understand.
I hear wrong dosages all day long from nurses who dictate for docs -
Maybe they are just misspeaking, maybe they really do not know? Really alarming!!!
They treat you this way cause you allow it.Can only

Never had a cat before? You are in for a real treat (sm)
Cats are just so cool. I have 3 dogs and my 20 year old cat just died in Feb. They work their way into your heart just like dogs do, but in many ways are so much easier to deal with. And they have this way of looking at you when you give them the "wrong" food that day, like you have just totally lost your mind. If you're gone for a few days, your dogs will be so excited to see you when you get back. Cats will act like they don't care, and are just so uninterested that you came back (till an hour or so later when they decide to "forgive" you. As you can probably see, I miss my baby. Best of luck with yours.
TLR- ice cream treat
And by the way thanks to some of the ones that don't mind reading them!!
I decided to take a much deserved break a lot earlier than usual from the craziness going on today and plus it was so beautiful out I couldn't sit any longer. Cupid and I went to Bruesters Ice Cream for a treat. He was sooo excited he ran up to the stand!! I think he knew something special was waiting there for him! It was the first time we went to there so he didn't know what was there yet. The first thing the girl asked me was if I wanted a doggie dish. When he got it, there was a little dog biscuit stuck in the icecream. It was so cute. I hope your having a good evening, later.
Just found the best cat treat EVER -- sm
it's called Kitty Kaviar-- but I think it should be called Kitty Krack, LOL
It is thin dried flakes of real tuna and my cats cannot get enough (and they are fairly finicky).
My male kitty is diabetic and with these treats he lets me test him and give him his shots without any fuss whatsoever.
No not treat yourself -- see message
I type for a psychologist well known in my area whose caseload is 75% ADD. He does a lot of natural remedies and supplements. A good book is Brain Gym that helps with exercises to train the brain to be focuses. A lot of exercise is necessary. Lots of protein, DEH, etc. But without getting him evaluated you are shooting in the dark as to what will and what will not help. Insurance pays for it. But there are a lot of natural supplements and things you can do but you need an expert to work with you and not just an MD that puts them on medications. I have two nephews that have it, they went to this doctor and diet, exercise and supplements have helped tremendously and now in high school they are off medication. If you had an infection or a medical problem you would go to a doctor and not treat yourself so don't treat this yourself. Patti
trick or treat?
I'm figuring the way this day is going that I will turn off my lights, sit in the basement and eat 2 bags of Snickers instead of handing it out tonight. I hear those little candy bars up in the pantry calling my name. I figure I am saving the neighborhood kids from cavities, weight gain, stomachaches and a night of bouncing off the walls. I know they'll thank me later.
What did YOU do for HIM???, does he treat u good every other day? nm

can you treat a UTI over the counter?
I am one of those lucky MTs that dont have health insurance and that makes it pretty annoying when I have probelms. Like right now I am sure that I have a UTI, but dont want to go to the ER and get that $600 bill. I bought some AZO and cranberry vitamin. I figure I will drinks lots of water and see what happens... any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
Michael Vicks ... I wish I could treat him the same. sm
I'm sorry but I am writing letters to every single sponsor of his and to the NFL and the Falcons.
If I could, I would treat him the same way he has allowed those poor dogs to be treated.
I would treat them like Paul Revere (SM)
Make em history! You are better than that. I used to always try to figure out why someone acted a certain way. . like you I wondered what the problem was. Found out from a wonderful psychologist who helped me over a terribly painful relationship that went bad . . It DOES NOT MATTER WHY. . what matters is that it happened. You need to move on. They are just not nice. I would think you took up bowling in the first place to have a good time! GO FOR IT elsewhere! GOOD LUCK!
Thanks for the treat...awesome photos!! nm

don't enable him to treat this way - especially with child to see

But did you and your no account brother treat her

What a nice treat...I get stuff sent to me..
that way from Philly, cheesesteaks, hoagies, good pretzels, TastyKakes...it's nice to be able to get something good from home when you live so far away!
So then you WOULD treat a woman like a criminal?
what's that phrase, judge not lest...?
Treat everyone as if we all worked in the same office.

If you have not yet seen the deer and cat video treat yourself to
something wonderful. Copy and paste and enjoy. This is truly beautiful.

does anyone of those facial hairs like a mustache? if so, how do you treat it? sm
what is a fast solution and a long-term fix? thanks!
What's your favorite Christmas treat/candy, etc?
Mine are the 'chocolate oranges' and Andes mints.
For homemade stuff, can't beat fudge, Chex mix and Christmas sugar cookies.
What're your favorites?
Put a little no fat cool whip on top, and you have a real treat
Does he treat you badly in front of your children or is it
usually "behind closed doors?"
Ladies, any assistance on how to treat herpes
My daughter has just sent me some information on something called Lectroject, apparently it is something that is used to inject medicine directly into the herpes blister?? Never heard of it but has anyone else. Any suggestions at all on how to treat herpes outbreak on the lips? Thanks so much!
Silly Girl shouldn't have to treat her
husband like a dog or a child. After all, she is his wife, not his mother. If she wants a pet, she can go to the animal shelter and get a dog. She married a man and he needs to act like one. It sounds like she gives and gives, and he takes. I think Silly Girl should start taking care of herself for a change.
Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat!
My favorite Christmas treat is January 2. lol. be glad when it is over.

When puppy does her business where you want her to, reward her with a piece of food treat.
And when she pees in house, use paper towels and then place paper towels (soiled) to the area in the yard where you want her to do her business. Dogs tend to prefer where they smell the odor. Be patient. This dog is young. Confine her to an area where the floor will not be damage (tile or vinyl). Take her out six times away,including first thing in AM, right before bed, after she eats her meals. Pull water up a few hours before bedtime. Do enjoy your new puppy dog.
I do occasional exercise & treat myself to good chocolate. I'm not completely agoraphobic,

Agreed; if they ask you to treat something stat, it should be compensated as stat. nm
