health care reform

How about doctor office reform? I never understand the repetitive paperwork. Has anyone seen the new scantron (think college) papers they have you fill out now? I think those tree people ought to go after the doctors.
I am still sitting here for my follow-up appointment with my liver doctor after taking 30 minutes to fill out the paperwork.
What do people with 2 broken arms do when they become new patients with doctors? Yes, that is indeed what I asked the lady. (Remember that old blog referring to my comment to the fast food window person? Obviously, today I am not taking heed of the "be patient" motto.)

  2. It was good to see you at the football fields last night. I am praying your low sodium diet will be satisfying to you and that your immune system would be strong. May you continue to cling to hime who created you. Love, Kendall

  3. O.k....suggestions from patients that help. You can type your medical history summary on computer, save copy and update as needed with printed copies to take with you for visits. You may as well start a binder for medical history and organize with separate sections ( bloodwork, current medicines w/ doses along with test reports ekg, cat scan mri, physical exam and clinical summary. You have rights to get copies of your medical information and keep master copy in folder. many patients keep medical logs and bring summary to docotor on new patient visit... paperwork HUGE problem in medicine
