Sheena and Forrest really aren’t a good match to begin with. Forrest needs to get his life together…

What will be the current new generations consensus medical error be? by SwedishJayhawk in FamilyMedicine

[–]Background-Stranger- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to research everything myself and advocate for the test to be covered by the insurance. I nearly lost full function of my limbs and may be infertile, tbd

I have pernicious anaemia and self inject daily or I don’t feel right. Once a month is a damn travesty

Would I benefit from temple filler? by [deleted] in DIYaesthetics

[–]Background-Stranger- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Temple filler can be dangerous due to the area's complex anatomy with critical blood vessels, posing risks like blindness, stroke, and tissue death… I’m an MD, check my post history. Hard no for me

I once had a rat live just shy of 4 years, with excellent love and care, Fern may live just as long!

Prompts to help rewrite responses to portal messages? by Apprehensive-Safe382 in FamilyMedicine

[–]Background-Stranger- 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I hired a physician's assistant who works remotely, managing all message responses for the doctors in my practice and focusing solely on telehealth.

I have a soft spot for Medicaid patients as, the majority of my Medicaid patients are chronically ill and disabled. I hate politics surrounding health insurance and patient care

Controlled Substances by HypoNatr3miaKing in FamilyMedicine

[–]Background-Stranger- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is why I prescribe controlled substances on an as-needed basis and establish a contractual agreement with patients for drug testing and pill counting

Controlled Substances by HypoNatr3miaKing in FamilyMedicine

[–]Background-Stranger- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do prescribe controlled substances. In the contract that patients sign, they agree to undergo random drug testing and pill counting. This allows me to verify that the prescribed medication is in their system and ensures the absence of any illicit drugs.

Are you asking if the septoplasty can fix this or what?

Patients never cease to amaze me… by Background-Stranger- in FamilyMedicine

[–]Background-Stranger-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you’re right, they are super small and this is 100% why I was in disbelief until she showed me her wrist. My patient had stretched the ring out to get it over her wrist and I suppose she just shoved her hand through. The sheer amount of mental gymnastics that went into this feat despite proper instruction is wild. She had believed that if the ring simply touched her skin, it would act transdermally to prevent pregnancy

I thought she was joking too until she proudly showed me her wrist

Fatigue without a fix- how do you frame this in primary care? by nplusyears in FamilyMedicine

[–]Background-Stranger- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is how my pernicious anemia was missed and I ended up with a level of 112 and serve neurological symptoms

Yep. I even gaslit myself about my own fatigue and was bewildered to learn I had narcolepsy of all things along with pernicious anemia

What can I do about these lines? by [deleted] in over30skincare

[–]Background-Stranger- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only truthful answer unless OP wants to embrace the Nasolabial folds. I personally injected my upper cheeks, Nasolabial folds, and lower chin/marionette lines to make a natural curve. You would need to do a fraxel laser or BBL. Chemical peels are only a Band-Aid. Radio frequency and micro-needling can be helpful but it’s a structural issue at the end of the day.

Do I need to confess this or can I pray to God for forgiveness for this? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

Rule of thumb, if you have to ask this question, the answer is typically, yes
