From doctors, to pharmacists, to hospitals and their staff. The ability to diagnose (correctly), the 'rules' that apply that make absolutely no sense, the medical schemes who change their benefits yearly to suit themselves (and their pockets of course), is becoming a frustration I no longer feel like dealing with. Only option IS to stay healthy, if that were possible.

Yes, I ca...Thanks for stopping by, my dear Mari!!! Yes, I can see where those things make it all the more worse. My wife was a nurse years ago and worked as a claims processor for United Healthcare, and she said that HIPAA rules keeps a lot of information from getting to where it is needed as quickly as it could. Oh, and I suspect that the reason why most (if not all) of the doctors I have told that I have felt like I have been suffering from a fairly severe case of the flu every second of every day since 1993 act like I did not say a thing is on account of being told to not pursue diagnosis that the insurance companies will not pay for. Still, there are an awful lot in the medical profession who are only there to collect a paycheck and will only do what is absolutely necessary to keep getting paid when I think the medical field should be much more of a calling than just a job.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-24541767470115682772014-10-08T20:10:48.276-05:002014-10-08T20:10:48.276-05:00Jerry, I am a nurse and I share your concerns. I ...Jerry, I am a nurse and I share your concerns. I can tell you that there are far too many government rules and regulations that end up taking more time from the patient because of charting and procedures. Then there are the insurance companies that tell us what can be prescribed and what procedures can be done. I've been a nurse for 32 years and although some things have changed for the better, a lot is getting worse. As you said - I'm so thankful to know that God is in control!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-72533031394346350262014-10-08T19:10:42.374-05:002014-10-08T19:10:42.374-05:00Thanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!!

I had Ebola mixed up with the flesh-eating disease out of Africa (I think) that I do not know the actual name of until my wife set me straight...again. Sigh.<br /><br />Speaking of spreading disease, how has enterovirus 68 spread almost completely across the country so fast? According to the last news report I remember, I think only Kentucky has not had a reported case yet in the lower 48, and I figure this is because of them just not admitting to it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-49964600683716400622014-10-08T16:35:49.066-05:002014-10-08T16:35:49.066-05:00I've been afraid of Ebola for years.

It wasn't an issue in an age when people died before they could leave the jungle where they'd contracted it, but modern air travel has now put us all at risk.

There wa...Thanks for stopping by, my dear Penny!!! There was one day years ago, while I was still out on the truck and trying to make a drop in Jacksonville, Florida before emptying out in Tampa, when everything was going wrong. Being who I naturally am, I was next to hysterics when I screamed out-loud as I drove down the highway, "WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO HARD?" Almost immediately, I "heard" inside of my mind, "After all, why do you think it is called suffering?" Well, that cracked me plumb up, and I wound up obtaining a very special memory from a very bad day (from my perspective). I would still rather not have to endure such, though. (LOL?)<br /><br />Oh, and He just instructed me to point out that you have exactly the right kind of attitude and great will be the reward of those like you, who are willing to humbly take what He sends their way, come Judgment Day. When it comes to people like me, His grace is sufficient, thankfully. Of course, since even our attitudes are by His hand, all of the glory goes to Him, but we are given a choice of where we want the line drawn between where He ends and we begin in ourselves. Blessed are those who do not want any of "themselves" left intact--be assured.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-77431412846413820632014-10-08T02:23:11.053-05:002014-10-08T02:23:11.053-05:00I don't feel tough enough, but I'm taking ...I don't feel tough enough, but I'm taking this scripture at its Word: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Being able to do all things and endure doesn't really have to be easy. Just possible, right? I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to pain and discomfort, misery and trauma, etc., but if just know it won't completely destroy me, I'll have to be ok with it.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445620923321606006noreply@blogger.com
