I could go on and on about pain and people...pretty fascinating...endless stories...some of which will be in my book, whose publication date is...is...'hazy' right now...but not all that far away...

Being in a pot smoke cloud will do that, eh, DUmor?

My oldest son had a tooth removed and the next day the Dentist went on vacation.

He developed a Dry Socket.   He described the pain as unlike anything he had ever felt before.  His wife dragged him, the stubborn man into the ER for antibiotics and pain medication.

Husband had a crown placed on a chipped tooth, cost him $1200 bucks.

8 months later it fell off, when he called the dentist he was told the dentist was not seeing new patients.

 He was told that as he had not been in for 6 months, he was now considered a new patient.

 He went to one of those group dentists and was told the past dentist had filed his tooth down to the point that a crown would never last long.  Cost to pull and implant new tooth $2800.

Now under most medical insurance policy's chiropractic and even acupuncture is covered with copay.

The teeth and mouth are areas that can spread poison through out the body, why does the insurance company's consider the Dental care as  less important as placing needles in ones arm or leg to releave pain or stress.?

OH YES EVEN BETTER, NURSES AND OFFICE  STAFF ARE UNDER NO PRIVACY LAWS.

As we adults must know that the drugs we are described are to cover more then one condition.  We had a Plant Nurse that had a BIG mouth.

We had a company rule that any medication we were on had to be reported to the plant nurse. This was for our own benefit in case of accident we were told.  Those of us that had half a brain in our head refused to do so.

Hubby thought I was paranoid until a male friend of his was prescribed a drug for head aches that was used for Alcoholism and athletes feet.

One day he was knocked into by a coworker in a hurry and fell backwards hitting his head on concrete.  The dude that had bumped into him had no idea what he had done.   Hubby's friend was not found for a couple of hours and taken to the hospital unconscious.  After $20,000.00 in medical bills he filed for workmans compensation.  The company fought the claim by insinuating he had been drunk as he was taking the drug used to help with withdrawal symptoms, headaches and athletes feet.

Even large hospitals have a problem with big mouths, I was waiting on an ex ray when two ex ray techs were talking about a Mr. Smith--not real name-- could loose his arm and was refusing to have it Amputated.   Just so happend I knew this man.

Biggest problem for those in a nursing home may well be the 11/7 shift.  We who care for the patients begin to feel like they are family, some times curiosity overwhelms us when we feel affection for a patient who never has any visitors.  Then there is curiosity about why the patient is doped up so much by the other shifts.

Sooner or later the charge nurse nurse will pull the family history and some of the stuff we read is unbelievable.

No we had no right to read the files, but we were not breaking any confidentially rules or laws.  Why was this such a big problem for the patient.?

We began to look at the patients different, those who we gave care to but did not bond with, we found reading the woman, say ,had lost 7 children and had contacted Syphilis from her husband when he came home from WW1.  This disease ate away at her for 60 years.   We became more protective of her and loving.

For the one man we knew that was a spit fire at 90, he had no visitors but had 5 daughters and dozens of grand and G grand kids.  Why had he not had one visitor in 5 years, he could still walk around and joke with us, he was as sharp as a tack.

Family history, he had molested his daughters and  a couple.   This made a big difference in how we felt about him, this jovial patient was a monster.

Blah...Blah...Blah...Blah...

Wanna bet?

If *I* catch you or any healthcare office person OPENLY discussing *MY* healthcare issues WITHOUT my approval, not only will your employer be sued into bankruptcy, and YOU will be sued into bankruptcy, your career will be disintegrated, your pathetic ability to make a living above that of an AP-PM soda jerk destroyed.

Silly endodontists, wasting all that time studying a specialty so they can scam people with sore teefs. Just go to your local DUmmy dentist. He'll fix you right up. 

[djones520]

What kind of dentist does this moonbat see? I had a root canal about a year ago and they gave me a script for Vicodin. They also said that if it got too bad to call and they'd give me something stronger.

Methinks that DUmmie either looks like a druggie, or sees a really crappy dentist!

The AF tries to have Oral Surgeons do all the work that would require pain meds.  But their isn't enough to cover all our bases, so sometimes regular dentists have to do things like tooth extractions, wisdom teeth, etc...  They write the pain med prescriptions just like anyone else.  I got a three day supply of percoset for having a single tooth pulled.  They only put me on quarters for 24 hours though, so that next day at work was pretty interesting.

I had a tooth pulled once and the Dentist was all apologetic when he was done. He'd cut the crap out of my gums and couldn't have been sorrier for it.

He shoved a script at me and told me again he was sorry and this would help with the pain. He'd given me a full weeks worth of Percodan. I was proud.

Some of us suspect, and are probably correct, that he is a night janitor in a dental  office.

Either that or he is a night janitor at the local Holiday Inn Express who has delusions of dental grandeur.
Me, I think he's full of shit.  I doubt most of these DUmmies do any work outside of shoveling the Cheetos in their mouths inbetween draws off the bong.

Office staff and nurses and even tech/data processing specialists with access to electronic records have the same obligation to protect the privacy of the patients.

They can discuss and even publish information about cases as long as it doesn't have anything in it that identifies the person.

I found my son's case published when I was surfing the internet looking for information about his cancer.  It is still up on a website with his CT and a picture of his kidney and his tumor.  They did not need my permission.  No name is on the site,  but I  knew it was his, because of how rare his cancer is and the time and the location of the report.

[AllosaursRus]

Allos, I hate to rain on your parade but doctors and lawyers discuss their cases with colleges and office staff and seem to forget that others can hear them.

Ya really think they post it on a board like the DUmp?????????????????????????????????????, full of wannabe assholes that if they figure out who you are won't repeat it to God knows who?

I rest my case!
