wire transfers cost $$

I'd hold off on the wire transfer - they typically charge $25 per transfer for that.


Depending on your bank, they may have an option to add an account that is from an outside institution so you can transfer back and forth.  I had an account with Bank of American before they finally horked me off for good, and I was able to add my account with the credit union.  It was a $3.00 fee to transfer in between banks, and it took about 3 days, but it's cheaper than a wire transfer (unless your bank offers an option to do those for free.)  I was able to set everything up using the online banking system.  It took a couple of days for the set up because they have to verify the new account, but it was worth it.  Before I dumped them, anyway.

already so it goes with you. Losing weight does not make the diagnosis go away. Say you lose weight and your blood sugar normalizes, if you put down on future records no diabetes and it is found out otherwise, then you can be turned down. This is the thing about diabetes. My father going in for eye problems 1 time, and he wanted to say he did not have diabetes but he was taking medication for it. The eye physician can see with eye exam aspects of diabetes so his trying to lie would not get him anywhere.

release of medical records

Wknds are the toughest at any hosp.     


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.              


Just saw show on this about getting jail records, etc.
This prosecutor said when accessing a file you have to put in login # and time and I would suppose identifying yourself before getting a record on a person's previous jail records.
Might be the case, but should you falsify your records
and then caught, what then? I would not want to chance that and besides, like I said before, physicians have ways of checking for things besides your telling them, for example you say you don’t smoke and then a test shows otherwise, you say no diabetes but then in eye check you have background retinopathy, no liquor intake- they can tell on that. All kinds of ways your body says things.
Question about med records, privacy, and the law...

Today there was a newspaper article by Leonard Pitts.  He wrote about celebrities and their right to privacy.  He specifically talked about Farrah Fawcett's battle with cancer and how she knew that info was being leaked by someone in the hospital.  She proved it by withholding some info from all family and friends--that only she and her doctor knew--and the info still got to the gossip rags.  The hospital at first would not release the worker's name due to privacy policies.  Ironic, huh?  She apparently had easy access to the med record since there was a record of her looking at it more than anyone else did.  Eventually the worker was charged but died of cancer before being sentenced. 


Anyway, my question is this:  If an offshore MT did this, could s/he be charged as well, either in their country or ours?  Or would only the MTSO be in some trouble?  I heard an offshore MT a few years back who threatened to release info if she did not get, I believe, an increase in pay, but do not know what the outcome was. 


Birth records are public but are listed under
child's name - not parents - so not sure you could find out this way.
Pugmom..the ED checks records and will know that you are not a frequent flyer....sm
And believe me, there are some that are there like every other day.

Something else you might want to do too( I have typed urology both adult and peds for 19 years now and have lots of hints LOL) is to walk as much as possible, drink LOTS of water, and perhaps cranberry juice. The walking is supposed to help the stone get moving, the liquids are to help flush it out once it starts moving. The cranberry juice should help with the start of an infection.

Some people though, never pass their stone(s) and have not one iota of pain and suffering once the initial diagnosis is made.

I am so glad to hear that you are doing better. Myself and others were worried for you. Glad you are back.
Give me a break. We are in medical records. I am not a trauma surgeon nor am I sm
an RN or even an LPN. I am on the administrative side for a reason. I originally went to college 3-1/2 years, to be a medical technologist (working in-house in a lab), and during those grueling 8:00 classes and labs all day, every day, I chose to get into the administrative part of medicine. So, you don't have to tell me about this being 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I know all about the 24-hour healthcare industry. I also did my intern at a 24-hour urgent care center, again, showing me that I DID NOT want to, nor could I, be available for someone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I know it is a privelege to work for him and I work Saturday AND Sunday. Tell me, as a manager, do you work every weekend?
I've heard in Calif they pull from both DMV and voting records
probably to widen the pool - so no help from me - sorry!
if actual threats then report it; keep all records/emails/calls for reference
