EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

I just got off the phone with "the Doctors Office"

We go to a huge medical company, they own the clinics, pharmacy and the works. They are too big for me, but because my wife works for them we use their insurance, which of course, means their clinics.

I decided I should see my doc before my surgery do to my problems this last week. Maybe putting it off a month makes sense...


The receptionist and staffers are Mc Donald summer help but not as bright...


Now and then you get one that thinks they are doctors and geniuses...

I told her I wanted an appointment with my doc...His schedule is full... No biggie. can I talk to his nurse.

(her) Well. why for what reason?

(me) Because I have surgery scheduled and I am not sure I should go through with it right now?


(her) Why not?

(me) Because I have been sick with extreme diarrhea and have lost 17 pounds in 4 days.

(her) Yes, but what symptoms make you think you should be seen?

(me) I have had severe diarrhea, I lost 17 pounds in 4 days, I am weak and my muscles are cramping when I exert myself. I think I am dehydrated. Not sure if is is safe for a older person to go under general anesthesia when electrolytes are depleted.

(her) maybe you should go to ER.

(me) I am recovering no reason to go to ER

(her) well, how do you know your electrolytes are depleted if you don't go to ER?

(me) I had severe diarrhea and lost 17 pounds in 4 days.

(her) Are you dieting?

(me) Can I please talk to the nurse?

(her) If you could give me some symptoms I will see if she will talk to you...




I am getting an idea why medical costs are out of line in this country. We are equal opportunity employers and hire idiots to do jobs some one with an IQ of 85 could handle if they had any common sense... If it dd not come across, I do not suffer idiots well....

If you are up hill in one direction went you return you MUST BE down hill. That is logical not geographica!


Bennie, us older people changed that so it is the way you younger people have it now. It use to be uphill both ways to school. It was a very common problem back in our day.
