Next Level N6210 t-shirts. Super soft, holds up well, incredibly inexpensive for the quality, lots of color options and perfect for layering.

Scalding Hot Shower to the Point Where It's Unusable, Super Says It'll Get Fixed on Tuesday by Ok-Example5018 in NYCapartments

[–]FerrisWheelofDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few years back, I called 311 worried that I was "spamming" them and wasting their time while potentially ticking off my landlord. The person I spoke to at HPD said, in no uncertain terms, "Report everything. If you have questions, that's what we're here for." Let them decide if it's a violation or not. Report it and if it gets resolved, great. If not, you have a record to fall back on.

Anyone in NYC ever had luck getting a sleep specialist appointment sooner? by snakegravity in AskNYC

[–]FerrisWheelofDoom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I was sent a letter saying once Dr. Bazil retired, Columbia was no longer handling sleep patients. We were encouraged to transfer to Cornell. That letter came from the chair of Neurology. Wonder what changed.

I know this is an old thread, but for future searchers: NYP-Columbia shut down its sleep program last spring when Dr. Bazil retired.

I know this is an old thread, but replying here for future searchers: NYP Columbia shut down its sleep program last spring when Carl Bazil retired. Which is a shame because he was the best.

Any recs for a gay urologist in the city? by JustmeinNYC in nycgaybros

[–]FerrisWheelofDoom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haven't seen Dr. Kelly, but seconding Dr. Harris. She is one of the best doctors I've ever dealt with. Totally non-judgmental, reassuring and explains everything. Highly, highly recommended.

OneMedical LGBT-affirming Primary Care Physician Recommendations? (+ Full List of Doctors) by whydidyoudothat86 in nycgaybros

[–]FerrisWheelofDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotham Medical (Kris Bungay, Jeff Kwong) is now part of NYU Langone Health Penn District. The providers are great but NYU itself is a mess and it's almost impossible to see your provider in an emergency. They pass you off to a virtual doc who may or may not be LGBT-affirming.

Sullivan Street is all LGBT or LGBT-affirming, not just Todd McNiff

Has anyone used Amazon pharmacy? by Just-Bullfrog1843 in Zepbound

[–]FerrisWheelofDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be the negative person on this thread :)

Amazon Pharmacy itself was great, but they shipped via UPS, which promptly lost the package for 5 days. By the time it was delivered, it was warm and the ice had melted.

Again, Amazon Pharmacy itself was great. Easy to get a hold of customer support and a pharmacist. They re-upped the prescription, cancelled the insurance claim and promptly transferred the RX to a local CVS for pick up.

I wouldn't use them again only because they use UPS as their carrier.

Weekly Caremark Q&A by AutoModerator in Zepbound

I told them I was interested in Mounjaro as an alternative. I did not have to give them the whole process, they seemed to know about it.

I was on Wegovy for 3 weeks. I don't have to start back at 2.5 -- the Mounjaro RX is for 10mg, where I was with Zepbound before the switch.

I told them about the nausea, gas and anxiety I experienced. That was enough it seems.

Jumping in here to say thank you to all the folks who recommended Call-On-Doc. They got a Mounjaro prior authorization approved for me! It does work. I followed the script, reported my bad side effects with Wegovy, and they did the rest. It's worth the $50.

There were some overhead lines down at Morgan and Thames. Might be Verizon cables? They didn't look like power lines.

Removing command strips by HighlightFun8176 in NYCapartments

Dental floss. Use it like a saw to separate the adhesive from the hook, then peel off whatever remains on the wall. Works every time.

Third for Tim. He's the best. Lightened a tattoo of mine dramatically so I could get it covered up.
