Anyone else have the stomach virus going around? Chills and sick to stomach and weak feeling. It must be going around.

Living there would make anyone puke, so it's hardly surprising.

PC Physician's around here are mostly useless. Went to mine the other day and had my ears cleaned, they billed the insurance company $235 for this. All they used was a water syringe and hydrogen peroxide and didn't even help.
The point is most doctor's guess at getting you well and actually have no clue. Let's try this or let's try that. It's ludicrous what they are allowed to charge patients. They take your blood pressure, pulse and temp and charge the insurance company close to $300. It stinks.

They shouldn't get paid until they fix the problem. If they fail, it's on them. Why should they get paid for every stupid thing they do for which they could care less if it works or not?! They are arrogant.

I live in Vienna. I have been tossing cookies like the Keebler Elf for a couple of days.

Th Keebler Elf would never have gotten into such a predicament. Let's face it -- he is much smarter than you are.

This is simply how medicine works. You gather information and then work to eliminate possible causes of the symptoms you observe until a conclusive diagnosis can be established.

If professionals did this analysis they would have lawsuits against them or have to refund money paid to them.
You define the problem.
You gather the facts.
PCP's in many cases are no more than sandlot mechanics. There main goal is to file codes and collect from the insurance companies. It's a damn shame.
We are but numbers in there system.
Anyway, this Virus makes you feel weak all over and mostly need rest. Don't know what a doc can actually prescribe for me.

It was a summary of standard medical practice.

Yes, it is.
Try to find an in-network PHYSICIAN that is a caucasian and it's like finding a needle in a haystack.
Tells me how easy it is for all these Asian and Mideastern docs to get certified here. Absolutely horrible.

If your biggest health care concern is how your provider spells his or her last name, you deserve to die anyway. Dr. Oz is Turkish, by the way.

I've felt tired the last few weeks, usually after eating. Not sure if it's a stomach bug or what. I was in bed for 2 months because of a broken leg so I'm not sure if it's because of that. I guess I should get a blood test.
