ColonOscopy.
are you going to Canada or is that a diff time?
i have an MRI done yearly to monitor the kidney malformation. i do not think an xray would demonstrate a problem and i think the consequences of a problem are severe enough that it is warranted. i think people who have problems with too much testing should look for different healthcare professionals, ones whom they are able to trust.
But your procedure has a need. Many do not.
We’re leaving on Sunday. Stopping off in Erie for a night on the way back. Be home on Friday.
Like i said, people need to be educated consumers of healthcare. My parents were not college educated and they both feared and were cowed by doctors. i am not, nor do i hold them in awe. they are a professional that i engage just as i would an accountant or a mechanic. if one don’t trust them, ie; think they are ordering unnecessary tests, then people need to find another.
should be a fun trip.

Well, if it doesn't matter what the phrase means, why post it ;?
The fictional “war on women”
Is cynical, and probably done
By liberals to finally remove
The independence we have won
They yawp that we need help-
As if we’re unable to control
Our lives-but putting us back
On their plantation is the goal
Just shut up, Hillary and Nancy,
Sit down and rest in the shade-
You’re undoing over 40 years
Of progress that we have made...
And that is really how I feel about this phony female helplessness and victimhood being promoted-those of us who really are feminists are neither amused nor helpless-single or not, we don’t want any “help” or gender based advantage from govt...
No importa que dice Obama-es una mentira
“The truth is so obvious” Those words should be etched in stone...
I’m 100% in agreement with y’all-I try to be civil and reasonable, but that is a hangover from being employed as suzy social worker before I had sense enough to get a different job-it suits me better not to have anything to do with the willfully ignorant, even if is someone I’m related to...
we pick ORPIK.
I don’t really know much about it, but I don’t get what the deal is with those ads on TV for people with no problems to get whole body scans, shouting about how you could have this or that and could DIE if you don’t get this scan-then they put up the price-quite a lot of money, and isn’t that a big dose of radiation, too? I can see that anything is game for advertising, but aren’t those companies worried about liability down the road?
I don’t know about those, but I think xshub would consider paying out of pocket for one of the heart scans. His mom died suddenly of a massive heart attack, and he’s convinced that’s how he will go.
I personally would not worry about the radiation. as I said, I am scanned yearly to monitor a kidney malformation. I asked about the radiation and the stats according to the radiologist, do not indicate any huge problem with that amount of frequency. so a one time only scan can’t possibly be much of a worry as far as radiation.
I have family like that too. California. Retired school teachers. My mother is gone now, but even in her last days she drove me nuts. Isn’t funny about how careful they always are about other people’s feelings, but no regard for OUR feelings? My husband’s sister (another retired teacher) is impossible.
My husband and I are both products of UC Berkeley, and my husband’s sister will call up my kids and tsk, tsk about “How is it possible that your parents went to Berkeley and came out CONSERVATIVE!” Well, I’ll tell you how. It’s from living in the belly of the beast and seeing the streets of your once quiet town run red with blood, that’s how.
We escaped CA in 1972 and never looked back. Each time I have to go back for a visit, the place makes me sick.
Not so. But, there was an expression in my family that if a person was “doctoring” they weren’t long for this world. And that was true, for the most part.
I see the doctors annually, or whenever I have a problem. But, I’m not a person who runs to the doctor for every little thing.
I have (at least) 2 members of my family who were actually killed by their doctors, so I take what they say with a big fat grain of salt — a whole shaker full.
