There's a reason for that. Washington didn't want troops catching, spreading smallpox, so he had them inoculated. That's a hella smart military decision.

An 18th century dead General and President is far more educated than today's Hogsbreath.

I don't even intend to see a primary anytime other than every 2 years.

When they can treat anything, maybe I'll go. Maybe I'll even let one speak, but I doubt it. It's not worth my time. Stick to my list.

Every doctor babbles.

No, I don't intend to see an endocrinologist. No, I don't intend to see an orthopedist. No, I don't ever intend to have surgery in the US. No, I don't intend to see an anesthesiologist who pretends to be a specialist in anything other than anesthesia.

I wouldn't even call him a veterinarian...or trust my cats to him.

What he means is "don't talk".

I bring a list of concerns. I keep my token occupied with the needs I allow him to address.

I don't want him babbling about things that are none of his concern.

Idiots abound.

I'm glad they reduced data surveillance. It's not like there was any surveillance that benefited patients.

Doctors came for people in pain 15 years ago. Thousands of people with no pain treatment or under treatment commit suicide every year.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." (John 8:7)

Do they have a residency in primary care?

Irrelevant until you change the assumption that seniors all have dementia & don't know what they're talking about. That keeps seniors from getting emergency help when needed. That snotty attitude keeps many from getting help. You're either female, a drug addict, a demented senior or all three.

The American people, who paid for Trump's tariffs will now have to refund them at their expense, with little recourse to relief themselves, including an additional $700M a month in interest.

Something about this doesn't feel like "making us rich".

I've had OP for 55 years. It's been mostly ignored. Neither doctors nor articles are useful.

This isn't a particularly $ making disease. Doctors have one treatment and a cadre of attorneys working on the information doc inside the bisphosphonate box.

Although this focus is on Primary Care, it explains exactly why a residency in any specialty is so vital. So your "pain management" doctor is an anesthesiologist, with a residency in anesthesiology.

That person has no residency in chronic painful disease.

Vitamin D toxicity is no fun. This article doesn't even mention it.

This sounds like "Ladies Home Journal" or " Readers Digest".

No. The less the doctor knows, the less they can make available to hackers or the government.

If doctors had integrity that would not be an issue. But doctors have bent over immediately historically and patients can see it clearly today too. They WILL turn over patient's medical data on demand.

I stopped OTC meds long ago. I won't tell you what's used instead. It just has no input from what they call "doctors".

So worries about OTC med side effects or doctor's constant drug hysteria will never be my medical problem in treating my OA, impingement, or OP.

You used the word "surgery". There is no surgery I'd have in the US right now. There is little to no post procedure pain care.

You're going to need those cells for people who use Kratom. It's not illegal yet, but it's labeled with the same opiate and marijuana hysteria that's displayed by doctors and the govt.

Slop intended to blame the patient for things they haven't done.

Is that baked into slop?

Keep speaking to us as though we were children who just haven't yet got the intellect to have tried exercise first.

Supercilious asshole.

Picture of heart in a jar. "Some people say I'm a mean person, but it's not true! I have the heart if a sweet girl...in a jar on my desk."

Full moon, no labor pains, born in psych ward because L & D was full.

Capricorn trine. Be afraid, be very afraid.

I have one question.

Will you sign the post procedure pain control contract, created by my attorney, guaranteeing that my pain is addressed ethically?

There will be no anesthesiologists involved in pain control except during the procedure itself.

Most welcome. ❤️

Attempted murder. Women need to stay away from "doctors".

Real anesthesiologists or the delusional ones who think they're painful chronic disease specialists?

Doctors are sloppy unethical assholes. It's much easier to attack grannies with arthritis.

You can't even began to determine what addiction is dangerous and doctors have no intention of dealing with it at this time.

They haven't come up with a way to monetize it...yet.

But that would take $ out of anesthesiologists pocket. You're looking for pregnancies (none of your business) and drug screens, creating more patients for unqualified anesthesiologists who know nothing about diseases that cause pain.

Stay away or end up at the Hague. Because now he knows. There will be no acceptable excuse.

"I'm not important enough" wasn't an excuse. A secretary and janitor were charged and imprisoned...because they knew, because their little unimportant jobs assisted abominations.
