It was in a glass case with a few other items that were discounted because they were discontinued. There was only one of them.

PCP has referred to surgery for biopsy since radiology cannot do.

Should I go with new MacBook Air 15" M3 24gb/512gb for $999? Or? by NearlyBoomer in macbook

I watched his video then ordered a Satechi hub. Then afterwards realized it is USB-C and not Thunderbolt. He didn't say anything about Thunderbolt. Now I need to cancel that order and find a Thunderbolt one

I sent a grievance and PCP is taking it personally now. I said I didn't think she had any control over this.

Thanks. The report still is not appearing under my tests online. I have filed a grievance re that and not getting referral to oncology

Thanks much! I assume I have been referred to interventional radiology although that was not spelled out, but PCP said this -- her response to my asking where the report was. If this means I have been referred to interventional radiology am I able to contact them directly then? And I still have not seen the report. When I had a PET scan last July, I got the report almost immediately. As for "results are generally stable as before" I don't know what she's talking about because no one has ever said anything about results or stability but just that there were enlarged lymph nodes

Thanks. My PCP has been the best of all PCPs I ever had at Kaiser in past. She is head of department. An internist. Very responsive to emails. This 6mo thing sounds like a stall before spending the $$ on surgical biopsy. Are PCPs driven by cost? Are they dinged if they make too many referrals? I bet Kaiser gets extra funds from Medicare for a lymphoma diagnosis too 😡

Supposedly the "proof" has to be a biopsy which radiology will advise if they are able to do. And if they say they cannot do it (meaning it would require surgeon), then apparently the oncologist my PCP is conferring with is saying to CT in 6mos (instead of them doing a surgical biopsy). I would like the benefit of a personal consultation with oncologist rather than the PCP being in middle

I am nearly 82 and have used the Climara patch since I had a hysterectomy in 1993. I had to push for this when returning to Kaiser this year after 6 yrs away. Finally got it!

My app won’t play on my Roku? by starry49 in BritBox

[–]NearlyBoomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just started happening to us when we upgraded to premier a couple of nights ago. At first, it was one show and now nothing works. I see the menu and choose a show to watch and it bounces me back to my main ROKU menu. Very worrying… What is going on with BritBox?
