UK, what a novel idea! Health Care for all. Why that's unthinkable, we can't have that here, you'd have all these sick and injured people just showing upOriginally Posted by uk elephant
at the doctors expecting to get care like any day at all, not even waiting till the 11th till wounds fester and so on, just getting things taken care of right away and getting back to work. We can't have that, it's it's un-American

yes, Knot, I had a frozen shoulder a couple years ago. I started a regimen with a great PT. I have "excellent" insurance but after 1000 dollars, I hit the limit. Even though I was responding well to treatment, I no longer had coverage! I ended up paying out of pocket, but what if i had a more serious problem? I would have been well into debt quickly!

The nice lady at Country Doctor took one look at me and wrote me the necessary referral with the statement, "I don't think I've ever been happier to send somebody away to the specialty docs in my life."

I'll make an appointment in the morning - they close at 4:30, so they were already gone by the time today's appointment started.

I'm hitting red tape on getting into the Wound Care Center, but I'm determined. I'm hoping to get an appointment no later than the end of the week, but first I have to get them to acknowledge that I exist.
And if any of you ladies are curious, my friend Cory gave my wound a name - Richard, Earl of Ulcer. And for those of you who are strong of stomach, there's pictures in my LiveJournal. They're icky, don't say I didn't warn you....Aperte mala cm est mulier, tum demum est bona. -- Syrus, Maxims
