If you went to a lawyer for the same amount of time they would charge you $300. And guess what? you would have to pay the whole damn thing.
Our reimbursement sucks, despite what president d-bag says. We get about 15% of what we bill. If I was in my job to make real money I would have a been a banker or investor.

When I have to pay $60 for a 3 minute post surgery check up for my shoulder I feel like I was getting robbed. This was my 4th check up 5 months after surgery, after I was done rehabbing. Just my opinion

Catch the H1N1 flu = Your body will NATURALLY create the antibodies to fight off the flu and you will always have the antibodies for the next time your'e exposed to the H1N1. (I believe)

Driving a car = Possible fatal crash + possible crash resulting up as a quadriplegic. There's the same risk for driving a car as there is getting the shot.

If you get the H1N1 shot, your body will create antibodies that will fight off the flu if you get it, and the symptoms will not be half as bad if you didn't get the shot. So in effect, you can get the shot and have the full fledged flu one time, or you can skip the shot and get the full effect twice.

I got the shot last week and the only thing I got from it was a sore arm for a couple days. No flu symptoms whatsoever.

Cheers.

First of all, the first three months after surgery is no charge to you. That is the global period. You get those included in the price of the surgeons fee. Which, given your young age, you probably dislocated your shoulder and you need arthroscopic labral repair. Surgeons fee for that is about 900 dollars, which included the following three months post-op as well. And your insurance covered this for you I'm sure. You didn't have to pay out of pocket for your surgery. And i bet your shoulder is doing great, b/c if you hadn't gotten the surgery you would keep dislocating and that would be no good. All I am saying is $60 is not a big deal to pay to keep you healthy. I bet you pay $60 for a 15 minute oil change and you dont even blink an eye.
Would you rather your surgeon operate on you and then kick you to the curb? Probably not. He was just checking to make sure your ROM and strength was good and you weren't having any problems. Just a perspective from a surgeons point of view.

Just had my 5 year old vacinnated. I feel much better now but it was a very hard choice to get the shot or not. I think he'll be better off with the shot then this nasty flu.

Same with rest of the family.

hendooman · 11-05-2009, 12:18 PM

I can tell you that I was unable to get the shot before I got the flu. My 6 yo had it then my 2 yo, then I got it, then my wife. It has been the worst week of my life. Mainly watching my kids suffer with this flu strain. If you have a chance to get the shot I would suggest it, as someone said before it really minimizes the effect of the H1N1. Your odds of getting this flu is probably pretty high, if you can afford to miss work for two or three days, then skip it, but if you do get it, chances are you will miss some work. Do it for your kids though...
