Doctors are no longer funny. They tested my 86 year old mother for CHLAMYDIA, which is a STD. She did not know what it was. But when she came home and told me about it I hit the ceiling. Years later the ‘experts’ at a leading NY geriatric clinic pompously told us (two separate opinions, both wrong)… she suffered from Alzheimer’s. She actually had mixed dementia. Finally, when we were considering moving her to assisted living, the eligibility committee informed our family we were ‘too rich’: (Mother had a mere $29,000 in a checking account. No stock portfolio, no car, no villa in the South of France). So they firmly.. turned us away. Now with the COVID epidemic, while I thank many dedicated Doctors, I still witness exchanges that simply curl my hair. Fie!
Physicians acquire their knowledge from our. dangers, making experiments at the cost of our lives. ONLY A PHYSICIAN CAN COMMIT HOMICIDE WITH IMPUNITY: Pliny the Elder (23-79 CE. English doctors kill you. French doctors just let you die.aka: DR WHO CARES!
A nice publication!
This week’s top cartoon happens to be on the bottom. I find it funny because the situation in real life is ANYTHING but, Post Editors!
Even WITH insurance you’re in for a rude awakening even spending one night in the hospital. You not only get the initial big portion bill (not covered), you start getting ALL KINDS of extra $500+ bills weeks later because this or that doctor who came in your room for less than a minute smiling, “just to say hi” or bringing you a sleeping or pain pill “WASN’T IN THE NETWORK!” when you call the number on the bill for an explanation!
I’m sorry. When I was admitted for a hernia operation at the hospital (Providence) IN THE NETWORK, I didn’t know I was supposed to be asking every damn person that came into the room if he or she was in the network or not, like a broken record!! If they’re there interacting with me as a patient awake or asleep, that’s NOT my fault if they’re not in the network, and therefore ‘not covered’ by my insurance. They’re in that hospital assigned to me at that time! All bets are OFF if they’re “in the network” or not! It’s TOTALLY unethical, and should be illegal!!
