read my post again. this is a provider that is probably losing business because people can’t get their referral in to see them unless they walk it through the door themselves. how is that convenient?

thank you, this is exactly the type of answers i was hoping for!

this makes no sense to me when patient portals exist. why isn’t there a provider portal that can handle sending medical info back and forth? I can see all my medical details online already.

no kidding! i have enough to deal with, without having to babysit a doctor’s office that won’t update their equipment.

i understand HIPAA. i don’t understand why we are still using the technology we started using in the 60s. my question is why haven’t we found a better way since then?

Jeremy Dewitt is the funniest serial offender of this. he’s in prison now i believe, but there’s soooo much body cam footage of him, he’s pretty much a lolcow at this point.

yeah I’m aware. I’m unfortunately getting well aquainted with the healthcare system, so this will impact me greatly I’m sure

I’ve had my eye on this situation for months. i have a really bad feeling, not gonna lie. and having a vaccine denier in the white house again is REALLY bad timing.

like a good neighbor, state farm will cancel your policy the first time you have to file a claim because there was a hurricane in the Midwest :)))

yep, and figure out what 20% of your bill is by taking 10% and double it. saves my ass every time i gotta tip lol

when i was young, i was in a bad car accident where i had a head injury. someone stopped and held a shirt against my head and held my hand till the ambulance got there. I’ll never meet them, but I’ll never forget it.

yes, when i was around 18-20 i had very strong deja vu all the time where i knew what would happen next, like I’ve lived it before. down to knowing the exact words/tone people were about to say, things they’d end up doing, etc.

now, I’ll get that same feeling but it doesn’t result in correct predictions anymore. no idea why it used to, but it was always weird.

I’m talking about the 70 year olds voting for things that will never affect them because they will die before they see the consequences. not infertile women. why should we let outdated mentalities affect those of us with over half our lives left? that’s how we lost abortion access.

i also support age limits for those holding political office :)

k

I’m disabled, not apathetic. i am physically not in a position to do that, although i support it fully. it’s not cool to judge people when you have no idea what their life is like. i would love to be more politically involved but all my energy is going toward not losing my job, and keeping my family fed and clothed.

and this is why there should be an age limit to vote. once you pass the age where your vote affects you personally, you’re out.

what plan exactly are we supposed to have? most of us can’t afford to leave the country, and that’s the only plan that i can think of. we’re all hostage in this capitalist hellscape.

I’m pretty sure smoking weed isn’t federally illegal, just possession.

sure, maybe. but FUCK Dave Ramsey.

do NOT do this until you are away from your family. cops are exceptionally bad at handling this stuff
