Sareitha pretty much covered it! Avendesora Send a noteboard - 11/02/2010 04:53:25 PM

Should I be asking things? I just want to find someone who will take me! (I am limiting it to people covered by my insurance, obviously, but beyond that, it seems like I'd have to see a doctor and know what was needed to actually ask any questions...)


I got the impression that you were being very selective and therefore asking a lot of questions already for screening providers. I think I might have misunderstood what you said. Now to clarify what I meant by this... I tend to get overstimulated and accidentally omit things when I've been on the phone a long time. You said the process has been challenging for you too... I thought that IF you were asking many questions, write them down so you don't forget. If the process is already stressful, it doesn't help that after you hang up you think, "oh, I forgot to ask them this!" That's all I meant. :) But if you don't have any questions, don't worry about it.

Also, before you go to the doc, have a list of things you want to ask and symptoms you want to report. Some may be related, some not. But if you forget, you'll never get your answer.

I believe all news and research that supports my opinion, and dismiss the rest as conspiracy and lies.

Do you think an actual person would have better referrals than the website? - 11/02/2010 03:14:01 PM 557 Views

I don't agree with your characterization of commonly proposed healthcare solutions. - 10/02/2010 04:42:06 PM 505 Views
I don't think he's mischaracterizing anything so much as responding to Jens' point directly. - 10/02/2010 04:54:55 PM 564 Views

Have you never looked at the boatloads of information that your insurer has surely sent to you? *NM* - 10/02/2010 04:19:09 PM 161 Views
I've never been sent a thing from them... - 10/02/2010 04:28:57 PM 491 Views
