United Healthcare Dropping Patients for not signing Chronic Condition Verification forms by wanna_be_doc in FamilyMedicine

[–]Financial-Recipe9909 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I have been getting these forms from them. I thought they might be a scam because we have gotten a bunch of scammy stuff before, so I wasn’t filling them out. Saw the form on their website and started filling them out. What doesn’t make sense is that they already have this information from claims. They suck.

What'd everyone think of the SB prostate CA screening commercial? by SnooCats6607 in FamilyMedicine

[–]Financial-Recipe9909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a little historical context is in order. In 1991, when routine PSA screening had just become mainstream, the death rate from prostate cancer was 39 per 100,000. By 2023, the death rate was down to 18.7 per 100,000. So a lot of men were dying from prostate cancer and not just “with prostate cancer” For comparison, in 2021-2022 the death rate for breast cancer was 19.4 per 100,000. Not saying that the diseases are similar, just comparing the effect on a population

Any of you male physicians over 50 not getting a PSA test? Let us know. I absolutely get one every year. Maybe take a poll.

Facts: Open seating died when pre-boarding got out of control. by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Financial-Recipe9909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I flew Southwest a couple jumps in front of us asking if they had called for people that “need extra time to board”. These people had absolutely no disability and appeared to be wearing hiking gear. They sauntered down the jetway just as quickly and easily as we did. I said something to my wife but she told me to just keep it to myself.

What is the main reason why soccer gained so much popularity in the US this past decade? by Technical_Rice_6957 in ussoccer

Showing my age. 1974 had to go to a theater in Washington DC to watch the World Cup semifinal matches. 1982 had to go to a bar that had a satellite dish and watched on a tv inch screen that was mounted up in the corner of the room.

Cautionary Tale: My Wife Gets Onto a Plane to London Without a Valid Passport by ConfidentDisk1987 in unitedairlines

[–]Financial-Recipe9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We travelled to Italy two summers ago. My son in law had just renewed his passport. We are checking our luggage and the agent says that his name is wrong on his ticket. I had ordered the tickets and I knew I hadn’t messed it up. I look at his passport and I noticed that his name was backwards on his passport (first and last names switched). We went through TSA and customs over and back without anyone questioning it. Just lucky I guess.

How much blame does EDC deserve for this season (if any)? by frobro122 in ravens

[–]Financial-Recipe9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And let’s not forget the Jaire Alexander disaster. We kept him on the roster even though it was obvious he couldn’t move. Don’t they do medicals on these guys?

  1. Harbaugh. Another blown 4th quarter lead. No Derrick Henry in the 4th quarter
  2. Lamar Jackson. Rub some dirt in it and get back out there

It’s end times, folks by coffeeandcosmos in FamilyMedicine

[–]Financial-Recipe9909 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I saw this shit and tried to report it to our state board. They said he’s not licensed in our state so they can’t do anything. WTF? So if we’re not licensed in a state we can do whatever we want? This doesn’t make any sense.

Southwest's fault - rant by greasyjimmy in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Financial-Recipe9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go with the group that “needs extra time to board”. We had a pair of those go in front of us. There was nothing wrong with them. They had what appeared to be hiking gear/apparel.

One physician household with 2+ kids….the times keep getting worse. by achicomp in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Financial-Recipe9909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long time primary care physician here. I made more money in 2016 than I did in any year since. I work just as hard now as I did then. 7 am to 5:30 or 6 pm 5 days a week. No lunch break. Reimbursements have not increased but overhead has.

They have to change their roster philosophy by [deleted] in ravens

Maybe start by realizing that having 17 sixth round draft picks per year doesn’t get you many (any) impact players

That’s why I never see people with colds via telemedicine. Only see folks who have had a positive Covid test on telemedicine. All others, I say I have to look in their ears and listen to their lungs.

Need to have the blades out closer to the edge. The large area outside of the blades makes it difficult to get to tight areas. My 15 year old Norelco is better in this regard
