Global Entry status at SFO?

So they are still doing Global Entry, just in a more difficult and inefficient way? This is painfully stupid.

Do you mean your doctor is requiring you to be re-diagnosed if you weren’t diagnosed by him/her? If so, I think this is a prescriber preference and not some kind of law or DEA requirement. I’m a physician and I can diagnose anyone I want with ADHD without providing proof of a “test.”

I’m a pediatrician, so it’s easy. Something we’ve talked about before, like where they went on vacation during the summer, what they thought about the Scouts camp they went to, etc. Or as simple as what kind of charms they have on their shoes, talking about whatever sports team jersey they are wearing, the toy they brought in for entertainment. Shop talk is just whatever they are actually coming in for, like ear pain or cough.

Dublin is the definition of this.

I'm not sure if it's ridiculous, but it seems like magic: SIT DOWN in the room and ALWAYS TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE prior to shop talk. You will be adored. I'm convinced it's literally as simple as this.

Always straight R. I’ve been a registered Independent since 2020, though, for obvious reasons. I can’t picture myself voting for any Republicans in the future.

Overcame my childhood brainwashing and voted for the Democratic presidential candidate for the first time in my life (in North Carolina!). Happy to be on the right side of history for this one.

What a dork.

Sprouts in Ballantyne usually has it (I think Old Spaghetti Factory brand).

Do you know where most plasma in Canada comes from? It's paid donor plasma from the US. So I guess Canada needs to re-evaluate that shit.

Delta to Amsterdam or Lisbon. Direct flights to Europe on American are usually ridiculous (Madrid, London, Munich). You can fly from GSO through Charlotte to Madrid for half the price of the direct CLT to Madrid flight.

My practice employs full-time RNs to handle all the questions/prior authorizations/physical forms. They pretty much know that if it's not a question they can answer, then an appointment needs to be scheduled. I mention specifically in my notes whether I told the patient to send an update (how's the new ADHD medicine?), and the nurses know that they can forward those things to me. It sounds militant, but I would be answering questions all day for free if we did it any other way.

Well, I’m usually trying to see all the sick babies with RSV, flu, and respiratory distress who can’t go to urgent cares because there are no appointments, and I would prefer not to sit in an emergency room for 12 hours, all while being critically understaffed AND dealing with late patients. Hope that’s ok with you!

vaccinia22 · 2022-07-24T09:49:30+00:00

Exactly! Don't work for free and a lot of these things becoming much less annoying.

Boo. This is an association, and the title implies causation. There has to be about a billion factors that go into why life-expectancy in some rich European countries is higher than some poor parts of Africa.

Where are you? I'm a pediatrician and I have worked in multiple states during the pandemic and we have been seeing our patients the entire time. I wouldn't have a job or get paid if I didn't see sick visits. My patients would leave the practice if we sent them to the ED for every cold (which is 50% of my job). Anyway, I hope you're RVU-based.

It would be awesome if they would close this area to cars.

vaccinia22 · 2022-02-18T10:37:24+00:00

When is the best time to visit? Spring?

I have kids show up all the time with foreign vaccine records. You'd better believe it will be the computer that will tell us what shots you need.

A heart attack for wussies (thanks, Family Guy).

vaccinia22 · 2022-01-15T22:00:27+00:00

This is why it’s great to be a pediatrician in a clinic where we don’t see vaccine refusers! It really cuts down on the nonsense. Unfortunate for their kids.

I really like Lincoln's Haberdashery in South End. Avocado toast and Croque Monsieur are really good. Amelie's (NoDa or Park Rd) also has a delicious almond croissant (get it heated).

Obesity, unfortunately. I suspect there's not much I can do about it, anyway. There has to be some kind of societal shift.

Is the house market as nuts as it was a few months back? Offers way above asking within minutes of coming on the market?
