Sick of every single family practitioner I see switching to "concierge" care...
what does that even mean?  I am having to worry about our FP Dr dropping insurance companies.  a good deal of the plans they accept are in the middle of negotiations, the 10-15 yr rate contracts are up and the insurance companies aren't even adjusting for inflation on what they will reimburse.  Had to made the decision to change insurance or providers in May for a decision that wouldn't be final until September but that would be outside of my benefit choice period and not a qualifying event to change mid year.

our dr practice has or will likely stop accepting 3 major insurances this year.   

 
My brother-in-law and his wife both do concierge medicine, from what I understand they basically cater to wealthy people in Florida who do not have insurance and basically pay cash for their services, they basically make house calls

 
blah so tired of watching troll hunters with snickette.  GOt called around lunchtime that she puked and needed to get picked up.  She has puked once more since I picked her up.  6 kids were appparently out yesterday.  weird short lived bug, no fever, just an intense headache right before tossing their cookies then ok until the next headache.  
Switch to just Trolls. That's a good one. :thumbs:

 
mr snick has to take super strong antibotics when his diverticilitis kicks in.  probiotic pills with a million + count  start a couple days before your last dose of meds.  He swears by this it gets his system back on track sooner.

Any recommendations on brand?  I'm on so many meds even without the antibiotics, my stomach is always out of whack.

 
i'll look a the box tonight and let you know.  we keep a stash in the house, as he has flare ups at least twice a year.  he has tried the live culture pills (refridgerated) and the ones he now uses and likes the boxed brand.

A truckload of Activia spoon fed into my mouth by JLC couldn't help with this stuff.

From what I read, it binds to iron, so it can also give you red velvet cake turds!

So doc put me on a new antibiotic, and apparently, it's a doozy.  It's definitely working, but allow me to quote straight from the bottle: "Diarrhea may occur weeks to months after taking drug."

Presently, I have no reason to doubt this.
Well given the track record of stories from your place of employment, the restroom "damage" shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. :thumbs:

 
Definitely not.  Thankfully, the handicap stall has adequate leg room for a full on Dumb and Dumber style leg extension.
