    In most states, MA's cannot do
  2. Starting an IV with Lidocaine or Not?

    I found your comment "every patient gets a heavy dose of Versed before surgery" interesting. I recently had surgery. Due to faster recovery, it was done with an epidural/spinal. Which is one of...
  3. Nurses with ear piercings

    He's an excellent doctor. Why can't our doctor go out to dinner with us? With him being a concierge MD, he knows us better than a traditional MD. As I mentioned, we have gone to his children's...
  4. Medical Assistants in the office

    Thank you for taking a stand and contacting state legislators. As a patient, I personally want to thank you. I agree with your thoughts, especially when you were lied to. Medical assistants...
  5. Thank you very much for your comment. Posting and feedback is a learning experience and I appreciate it. Just how a few of my requests were not allowed. Once they explained why, their explanation...
  6. I like nurses, I'm just not a fan with medical assistants. I am very proud of my daughter for choosing nursing as her career. I've always said nursing was a great profession. I have many friends...
  7. Medical Assistants in the office

    I'm sorry, I didn't think I called anyone a name. Thank you. I agree both medical personnel and non medical personnel can learn from this site. I have learned a lot by reading different posts....
  8. Starting an IV with Lidocaine or Not?

    Kudos to the hospital for the protocol of "asking patients what they want". Hospitals, nurses, physicians, etc. should ask what the patient
  9. Starting an IV with Lidocaine or Not?

    Thank you, I totally agree, I've had the lidocaine in the past and it was nothing compared to the IV without lidocaine first. I appreciate everyone's comments, I started rethinking the lidocaine...

  11. Medical Assistants in the office

    Thank you! I guess I'm weird, but I'm without tattoos and piercings. We all have choices and patients have the right to request for certain care givers on their team and that's just what I did....

    I agree 100% with your
  14. Medical Assistants in the office

    I apologize for not answering your question. I'm an HR Manager, who is a Medical Office Administrator over a large group of physicians and their staff. I believe I am qualified to voice my
  15. Medical Assistants in the office

    Yes I do! Every patient has the right to voice their opinions and I hope they do. I know many patients are scared to say anything and keep things to themselves. Some of them just don't say...
  16. Medical Assistants in the office

    I didn't say I have the right to be part of the interview. I told him "let me interview the next time" and I have even asked him to let me look over the resumes". As I mentioned, he admitted to me a...
  17. Medical Assistants in the office

    No, I'm a patient who expects nothing but the best when paying an annual fee. Although, my fee is for the physician's services and the care he gives to us which is top notch, but he wants to increase...
  18. Medical Assistants in the office

    My mistake on how I worded that. Every MA in the office has piercings and tattoos, some more than others. They were terminated due to the mistakes that were made over and over again and being...
  19. Nurses with ear piercings

    I'm glad my comment was disgusting to you and I guess I'm a jerk too, but the ones with tattoos and piercings risk hepatitis to others and I don't want to be one who gets it. I think working in the...
  20. Medical Assistants in the office

    Looks like an excellent concierge practice. There are several in this area set up similar to the clinic your parents go to. $1650 is a lot and it's hard. I'm glad we are able to make quarterly...
  21. Medical Assistants in the office

    $1650 is annually. We still need insurance and insurance takes care of office visits. Our labs are processed at the hospital where my husband works and they are 100% covered. The $1650 gives us a...
  22. Medical Assistants in the office

    Of course you can ask. We pay $1650 each (husband and me). It's hard for us to afford it, but we realized you can't put a price on your health. He is an internal medicine physician. Our...
  23. Medical Assistants in the office

    You are absolutely right and I have known that for years. However, my MD does have good judgement, just is stubborn with what we tell him about his MAs. No one wants to admit they hired the wrong...
  24. Medical Assistants in the office

    It's both, the MA who almost gave my daughter the wrong shot was 33 years old. One of the younger ones acted as if she knew everything, but didn't know anything - she was 24. She left me a message...
