SUPER NEUROLOGIST and B). Involved in a lot of market research and such and have the ability to answer some incredibly challenging and important questions (LOL); I thought you may know a secret.<br /><br />Also, have you ever allowed a asthmatic to try beta blockers as a preventative medication when EVERY OTHER FEASIBLE OPTION HAD BEEN TRIED NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE BUT THRICE? Just wondering. I am fully aware of the severe ramifications for persons with asthma and beta blockers just wondering?<br /><br />At least the patient "TYPE" you had described earlier in the week had a 10:00 appointment today instead of 4:40.<br /><br />Is it really that hard to come prepared? I have some serious neuro problems, SHIT, I have some serious health problems in general (seven hospital stays in 2009; three were surgeries) and three already this year---one being a ten day stay starting with a direct admit for bacterial sepsis on the 9th of January (met my deductible early on at least).<br /><br />My point being I am always prepared with copies of my most recent med lists, questions written (two copies one for each of us), recent lab work (even if he hasn't ordered it), recent test results (sometimes he just takes a look and jots some notes down and gives it back to me) but nevertheless, with all that I have going on medically and there is A LOT and it's not little stuff (not terminal) but FIVE BIG BAD THINGS and I try to make things as easy as possible for ALL my doctors. Especially since they spend a lot of time with me.<br /><br />You really do put up with a lot of shit!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-42579952930285305612010-04-09T21:09:38.651-04:002010-04-09T21:09:38.651-04:00LOL.

If the government wants to not pay us our Social Security, they need to stop stealing it from our paychecks immediately. Same with Medicare. Stop making me pay for it and I won't expect it later. <br /><br />Likewise, I don't mind if our duly appointed public servants (don't make me laugh) receive good health benefits. I DO mind if they give themselves better health benefits than I am allowed to purchase for myself and my family, especially since I (and your dad) pay for theirs.Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-58992030736025592852010-04-09T20:18:50.867-04:002010-04-09T20:18:50.867-04:00Meanwhile, the friend he borrowed the T-shirt from...Meanwhile, the friend he borrowed the T-shirt from six months ago (he'd puked all over his own shirt from drinking too much, and didn't want to stink up his mother's car when he drove home) has given up on ever seeing it again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-27097715778934148332010-04-09T20:02:16.060-04:002010-04-09T20:02:16.060-04:00Tell me he took the bus and didn't drive...Tell me he took the bus and didn't drive...Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667769917288382023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-48048390350600149582010-04-09T18:36:47.710-04:002010-04-09T18:36:47.710-04:00The shirt is really funny.
