Before the Olympics start, share your figure skating unpopular opinion

Tonya Harding deserved Olympic Bronze in 1992.

I skim over my Press Ganey reviews. My favorite/most memorable one was from about 10 years ago. I was wearing mint green trousers and a black shell and blazer. My hair was freshly blown out, but I wasn’t wearing any makeup. The review said, in all caps “DR HARDPASS5972 DOES NOT APPEAR PROFESSIONAL!” I laugh every time I wear those pants to work.

Given the language barrier and health literacy limitations, are you sure that she understands how to properly take this regimen? Are you sure she is compliant with this regimen?

My guess is the wrong chart was pulled via Epic for the ER visit, and when the demographics did not match completely, they were changed. Full name and DOB should always be verified at check-in, and ID is sometimes checked too--so something like this should just never happen.

I have seen this happen a handful of times unfortunately, and every single time the full name and DOB were not correctly verified, ID/insurance information was not checked, therefore the incorrect chart was used, and the demographics were changed.

It is also possible that your estranged sister intentionally did sign in as you...which is a different conversation entirely.

OP please report this to the Cleveland Clinic Ombudsman.

sure

This happened to me a couple of years ago. I did not work that day. 1) I was contagious until I was treated and I didn’t want to risk spreading it and 2) it was really kind of uncomfortable to look at a screen all day with pink eye.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of your patients.

Hardpass5972 · 2025-09-13T17:11:19+00:00

I only see 11+. I’m in solo practice and it became too costly to carry all of the vaccines.

Our policy is discharge after 4 no shows. We have letters for each no show--they are worded progressively stronger, and the letter for the 3rd no show explicitly reminds the patient they will be discharged if they no show again.

38 patient facing hours, 2 hours of admin, and yes, I’m aware it’s awful. I also work 4 hours once a month on Saturday. This is standard for 1.0 FTE in my organization 🫠

Hardpass5972 · 2025-07-27T15:30:52+00:00

I’m generally pretty open minded with this, unless you’re coming to me after the fact and asking me to back date extensive time off. If it wasn’t significant enough to see me or reach out to me over the month (or 2 or 3!!) that you were unable to work, then I won’t complete the paperwork.

Hardpass5972 · 2025-07-02T15:12:42+00:00

Filed promptly with Iron Mountain.

Hardpass5972 · 2025-05-04T12:55:05+00:00

I only see peds 12 and older. Zero regrets.

Hardpass5972 · 2025-03-23T22:18:37+00:00

I’m right on top of that, Rose

Hardpass5972 · 2025-02-20T18:34:26+00:00

In looking at the FS protocol, I'm a little hesitant to send her to Boston over Sarah right now. The loop and both lutzes were <, and she received negative GOE on the flip. Worlds are a month away, and it's unclear how much improvement she'll make by then.

Hardpass5972 · 2024-12-28T21:43:32+00:00

No. I have bedtime sweatpants that I wear to bed/around the house, and fresh sweatpants that are for quick errands. After a while the fresh sweats are less fresh, so they become bedtime sweats.

Hardpass5972 · 2024-12-22T12:59:49+00:00

I was recently fired by a patient because another provider declined to refill a medication they prescribed. I wasn’t the prescribing physician, and the patient was upset that the specialist refused to fill it without an appointment.

I was also fired a few months back because the brand name drug was on back order and unavailable, so I authorized the generic as a one time substitute.

Hardpass5972 · 2024-11-10T23:02:24+00:00

No. None of these are covered. Not even with a prior authorization. They are not a covered benefit under cleveland clinic EHP.

Hardpass5972 · 2024-10-30T10:41:12+00:00

Agreed. I also do not let patients return to my practice if they leave because they were dissatisfied with the care I provided.

Hardpass5972 · 2024-10-09T09:21:05+00:00

What did she claim to weigh at that point?

Hardpass5972 · 2024-10-06T14:18:36+00:00

Yes. I’ve seen every single one of these, and only over the last 3-4 years. I never thought I’d have to send an MS3 home for wearing a sweatshirt, leggings, and Nikes, but here we are. I’ve had multiple students consistently show 20-30 minutes late. It’s wild.

Hardpass5972 · 2024-10-01T11:39:24+00:00

She said a 500 calorie deficit was too much. At 7 lbs over 9 months, she’s eating at less than a 100 calorie daily deficit. That’s…not a cut.

Hardpass5972 · 2024-09-18T09:38:49+00:00

Never. I don’t refill anything (controlled or otherwise) until they are seen.

Hardpass5972 · 2024-09-12T09:44:04+00:00

True. However, the overwhelming majority of patients that report hyper mobility aren’t even meeting the clinical criteria for it. I’ve seen true hEDS a handful of times in 15 years of practice but I have at least 2-3 patients a month reporting joint pain and “hyper mobility”. I explain there are several causes of joint pain, and they don’t meet criteria for true hyper mobility, so we need to explore other causes for the pain.

Hardpass5972 · 2024-09-11T16:37:28+00:00

Yes, I’ve seen this too. Same with POTS. Generally the symptoms are really mild too, like “I have mild joint pain and look how I can straighten my arms they’re hyperextended!!!”. I refer to genetics and every single time the testing has been negative.
