Peeps, when you go to the doctor, you might wanna ..... Google those diagnostic codes when you get home...because sometimes they screw up....→[More:]

You know I have the flu-and you know I went to the doctor last week with it. I wound up seeing a physician's assistant. To make a long story short, another patient arrived in respiratory distress, my prescriptions were thrust at me and I was, well, rushed out.

I asked the nice lady who was taking my money what my diagnostic codes said. She looked and her eyes got big and changed the subject. I got home and googled whereupon I discovered that along with the flu AND the common cold I also had e.coli (nice trick to diagnose that by sight) AND muscular dystrophy. To top it off the guy had swabbed my nose to see if I really had the flu to see if I was eligible for an antiviral-which I was never offered. Even tho I was in the time frame and presumably had the flu. I had been given a script for an nsaid (powerful one, but heck, I had advil at home) and an antiemetic (which since I almost puked in their office from lack of eating, I could see.)

I just got off the phone with their office (they are calling me back with some info) but while I was talking to the very nice office manager I did find out he'd given me a 20 percent discount plus didn't charge me for the nose swabbing. I am sure he is having a very very very nice day today capped off with the fact they are gonna make him call me and explain my codes.


Now, granted, they thought they had a dying man in the office (He did sound really bad and the paramedics were there before I left) and granted I am sure everyone was in a bit of a tizzy-but what. the. heck????

So, bunnies, any suggestions on what to say to him when he calls? Be nice....
