Thanks Stuart!


Funny -- My Doctor at Mayo said he just loves to see me.... because most all of his patients have so many on going issues and that while many of them do get better - they've suffered so. He gets giddy when he's showing us the MRI images and how much improved everything is. For the first time this visit - he sorta acknowledged my course of medicine might just be the miracle.

Unfortunately no. Car wasn't done from the repaint in time and it went way over budget (wouldn't do it again, but it was effed up under the paint) so that bucket is empty. Plus i really wanna take Pam, but her back is fried (not to mention the menopause)

What car u driving?

Hopefully they'll do a May one again....

bummed

Anyways, hope all is well!!!! BTW, the money i spent on paint i coulda bought your stang track car or Nates fastback for da track, oh well....

Glad to hear GW!

This is worth 11 minutes of time. If I was a Dr. This is what I would be doing.

I use a "annual pay" doctor here for normal stuff -- a "concierge" doctor I think they're called. So that's ON TOP of the insurance premiums and deductible.....

I like the ACCESS! Call and you're in! Plus I like the doctor - he talks to me like I talk to my friends (in other words - not nice and doesn't beat around the bush).

IMHO "Obamacare" totally hosed the insurance that we HAD and liked --- costs have gone WAY WAY up - deductible is double or more... and coverage is less. All typical and expected when the "government" gets involved.

I thought this was an very interesting business model and I have looked around in my area to find a Doctor like this!

Their model is supposedly to have fewer patients -- with a higher / steady income for their practice. It makes total sense. They interviewed ME to see if they wanted me as a patient. Of course that's a two way street....

At the time I had an extremely high probability of death.... so maybe they thought WTH -- he pays for a year and only lives for 3 or 4 more months! SMART!!!! LOL

Actually -- the doctor thought my case was "interesting".... Which - I guess, if you're in his business - he'd be just like us - certain things would be interesting over the usual sniffles or a rash.
