Ok, ok, ok, it was stretch... but will Scruffy accept "Some Attorneys"? Definitely not Judges though.

asking me for information for which I know you already have currently documented is just complete BS.


You know what else is complete BS? The story you're making up that you have to give all of that information every time you visit the doctor. Unless you visit them like once per year in which case you should just be quiet.

bullshite. Half the paperwork is redundant. About a quarter of it relates to you getting paid.

Back to what it was before which was just as bad if not worse. I have been more than happy with my doctors. My only hickup was when my long term doctor retired and sold out to Baylor. Baylor sux but I asked friends and found a new doctor I like. But.....Just this week, with our knight in shining armour about to take office, the insurance I have had for 6 years decided to cancel my policy. Thanks Trump.

Your blaming your insurance company's bankruptcy on Trump?

Humana isn't going bankrupt. And this was a private policy, not an ACA policy. My agent says insurance companies see an out on insuring individuals and they are acting on it. No money to be made on individuals.

Wow, this is one of the more ignorant posts I've ever seen on this board. Truly a monument of wrong. Golf? Skiing trips from Merck? Wrong. Reading that, you must be one of the worst patients any of your doctors have. What a whiner.

This is why you have to sit and wait reading old SI. There's always one of you that has to go on and on. It's funny you don't realize you're the sort of patient that slows the flow at the clinic.

You think filling out releases of information, HIPPA forms, and a brief medical history, once per year per doc is difficult on your part?

If you're selling a crappy drug, you can talk till you're blue in the face, it ain't getting written. If your drug makes the doctor's life easier through efficacy, you don't need to say a word. I've seen top sales people move from one great drug to a dog and they couldn't give it away.

I think having to do it for every doctor, every hospital, every radiology group, and every lab in the course of one treatment is stupid.

I think medical information systems are archaic.

I think that if I'd tried to send a fax to a client ten years ago I'd have been fired for being out of date, and I know medical providers are still using faxes.

I think the docs are blaming the insurers are blaming big pharm are blaming hospitals are blaming the lawyers are blaming the docs. Meanwhile, my friends in Europe get better care more quickly for a lot less. So don't give me a bunch of BS about how it's not that bad.

It's the law. You're giving permission to only that practice to release info. Those don't carry over. You have to indicate that you are consenting to each of those doctors treatment.there is no blanket consent given the various fields and potential procedures.

Sure they do.

So I found a lymph node in a suspicious area once and was seeing the doctor two days later. I got an ultrasound an hour later and a CT the next day. They're not getting that done that quickly. They might be no worse but they are bs'ing you if they claim with certitude it's better.
