Snowy

Being a victim of fraud and collection agencies trying to hunt me down for bills, etc. that aren't even mine, I would say pursue this for sure. Sadly, crediting ratings, equifax, etc. are such a joke.. if I was looked up it would currently show that ...

:angryfire I couldn't believe this one, but my true story here from last night brings a point home of why there are some problems with "the system" This happened to me last night, no joke: Background: I bicycle to work and back quite often for exerc...

I have just prayed for her. Please update us on her progress

Something that seems to help with eye contact (and I've noticed this in a large variety of social groups) is to give a friendly smile, sometimes say a hello to initiate/ "break the ice"

I'm an avid snowboarder and love the snow. Not too much creativty on mine I suppose

The very topic of this post made me laugh when I read it... but with all the funky odd smell... which one is he relating to corn! W

I've heard of pregancies happening not only with vasectomies, but also, a close friend of mine had a tubal ligation years ago. Her only child wanted a baby brother so bady, so the parents told him to pray. Apparently he prayed hard, because less than...

^^^^^^ Coming from my background, originally starting in EMS, it was probably not the best decision I ever made doing a 'self assessment'. This all happened 2 weeks ago. Good news on a personal level, I'm 100% back to normal, fixed my bike, and in ...

Isn't a patient coming in not knowing they're pregnant, much like these people who get foreign objects "stuck up there" but have no idea how it happened? I see a lot of similarities in these scenarios

just when I thought I'd read and heard it all - A 37 yo male called 911 the other night because he'd accidentally stepped on and broke his reading glasses. Fortunately, the crew refused transport on that one.

I thought I better 'check in' for all who read/responding here. The good news is the fact I'm healthy and healing up quickly. It's nice when your friends are medically oriented (in my case either LPN's, RN's, EMT's and Ski Patrollers("wilderness EM...

I've been having 10/10 pain all day and was pretty frightened when I peed blood. A closefriend who gets Rx's for generic soma and lortab brought me a coupe and they're helping get me though the pain part, but i'm increasingly concenned that maybe I s...

LMAO!!!!!!!!! :rotfl: :roll Didn't he know how to use a suitcase?

Worse yet, whether they go to the ER or PMD for a viral illness, so many who insist on being given antibiotics :stone

I'd mentioned my own personal story elsewhere, but on the lines of people being in ER for unecessary stuff; such as the time I was in (due to traumatic injuries/fractures which ended up in a several week hospitalization at the time - healed up with n...

A nominee for "funniest" injury... women came in with cc of nipple pain. Turns out she decided to get her nipples pierced for her 65th birthday. Considering the age and nature of the complaint, everyone thought it was quite amusing

You're still talking about docs here, not donuts, right? :wink2: My 2¢ on personality testing- I'd say some of that depends on the specialty a person is going in to. I have run in to doctors (even from the standpoint of being a patient a couple tim...

Just when I thought I'd seen it all, patient yesterday wanted an Rx for "Marinol" to treat her IBS... doc of course refused to write a script for synthetic marijauana

Either a kudo's to the food services of hospitals nationwide is in order, meaning the food has gotten better compared to the bland yicky stuff I've heard people complain about from years ago, or these patients have never been to a fancy resturant and...

Are there other staff you are a little closer to? Perhaps best thing is as a group complain about her, plus others who "think you're like her" may realize otherwise. My first impression from reading the post about this CN is that she's extremely bur...

Yes and no..... the issue with "doc-in-the-box"es is they usually require payment up front.. where people can go to the ER and get services for "free":angryfire

In additional to education on how to use/not to abuse the system, and hygeine techniques for all our sake! :chuckle

I come from EMS and used to be the one who delivered some of these FF who tested our patience too :chair: (sorry I brought 'em in, I had to!) In a HIPPA compliant way, I'll try and post a few for ya'lls enjoyment.. "Stan" (not his real name) had a ...

i think i may have the solution for this one *says in a sarcastic voice* every town has frequent fliers and er abusers...and every town has a walmart, or wm wishing to build in their area. wm stores sell so much already such as automotive stuff, do o...
