Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / October 2006An idea for ASA'ers
Wouldn't it be great if we could do the same (in the hightlighted area) with our TJR surgeons? Or our rheumatologits who try a new drugs on us? ------------------------------------------------- alt.support.cancer.prostate One-Year QOL Survey From: Leah Date: Fri, Oct 6 2006 10:19 pm Hello-- Today we got an envelope from my husband's surgeon. He hadn't written in a while so I wondered what it might be. I thought maybe a birthday card... Turned out it was a one-year "Quality of Life" survey. Once it might have struck me as odd that fully 50% of one's QOL had to do with -- uh-- micturating. I said to myself, "Wouldn't it be nice if they got << paid only after you filled out the Quality of Life << survey to YOUR satisfaction. You know like, "Fee << will be held in an escrow account until such time << as Patient authorizes payment, etc." << Some of us know that the only one who gets an erection after surgery is the surgeon. At least Dr. T has a conscience. After he snipped my husband he said to me, "I'm exhausted, I'm starving, but first of all I'm going to go to the chapel." ... TV ads show you how detergents take out bloodstains. ... I think if you've got a T-shirt with bloodstains all ... over it, maybe your laundry isn't your biggest problem. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 y'know, i believe it was during the dynastic period in china, physicians only got paid when their patients were healthy. if a chinese physician's patient became ill, the physician had to treat his patient for free. that was the law of the land. interesting, isn't it? kate Wouldn't it be great if we could do the same (in the hightlighted area) with our TJR surgeons?

In a culture that did not move people around much,,, it seems like a good idea. I am being very truthful when I say that every time one of our kids comes for a visit and they flew to get here,,,, I get some of the worst colds and flu. Hhhhhm, I might make a fortune off of a throw away mask that was easy to wear. So it goes.

Harv one thing that kind of surprised me when i was in japan, in january of 1983, was how very many people actually did wear surgical masks in public. although, i seem to recall that our cultural guide indicated that these people wore masks because they had a cold or a respiratory ailment and did not want to transmit their germs, rather than to protect themselves from the germs of others. kate |
