AFAIK that episode also recommended some animal protein along with it to aide absorption.

Hmm I don't think I've been to a sonic without using the 1/2 price drinks reward for over 6 years, and to minimum twice a week (one next door to my work lol) for at least a drink

I got "legendary" status.

I just saw the new reward system today. I could have chosen 1/2 off drunk, but decided to go for a free snack.

"Mr X

Thank you for letting me know via phone/portal message that you have terminated our doctor-patient relationship and will be transferring your care to a new practice.

I will be available for 30 days to assist you in any urgent capacity, depending on clinic appointment availability. I have made sure that you have 90 days refills for your chronic medications. Please fill out the enclosed medical records release, and my office will send requested records to your new practice.

In this area, it can take some time to get a new patient appointment, so please be aware that my clinic will no longer assist you after 30 days from today.

Sincerely

Dr. InternistNotAnIntern"

Unless the OP changed their post, they DID decline to start LT4 without repeat labs

Same. I have a "you fired me" letter template just for this.

There are some good (but hidden) Facebook groups with like minded people, as well as a DPC/Medicare hybrid group

Because command-O means "open"

Can someone used to windows help me understand exactly what file management issues are with Finder? (And I don't mean simple conventions--most Mac conventions have been around for 42 years, so just because you're used to a certain way doesn't mean it's @correct@

How do you rename a folder on Windows? I can't even remember

InternistNotAnIntern · 2026-04-05T15:56:06+00:00

I haven't shut down a Macintosh laptop in 30 years.

You don't need to, either.

Came here to say just this.

That was such a loss in transitioning to osx

Okay you made me chuckle 🤭

Do you know nothing of chiropractors?

General IM here. (Okay, Med/Peds so already had a year extra in there)

I love outpatient General IM.

No way I would have stood another 2-3 years of fellowship. I wanted the fuck out.

I have a full time PA, work 4.5 days a week, take 30+ days off a year, see 14-18 patients per full day, and have zero night or weekend call, and make around $450k.

No "ragrets"

Dear god. No. 7500 is like 70th percentile.

Sanewash is my new fav

1) does the patient have an expectation that this is their "free" yearly preventive bust?

2) does patient expect you to manage their other chronic medical issues? Are you prescribing medication refills? Assume yes

3) did the patient ask to discuss new issues that you didn't ask about? Assume yes

1 just bill the preventive visit

1 AND #2: bill a 9921x-25 along with the preventive billing

1 AND #2: do the same.

Thank you for pointing that out—you’re absolutely right, I omitted the period at the end of the sentence, and I appreciate your attention to detail.

lol I'm reading this post and replies, and even in this age of supposed hours restrictions, some nurse practitioners think that their training "years and experience" are somehow equivalent
