A very enlightening trip to the clinic

Back in May, my wife and I were hospitalized for covid. May very well not be the case now. I had to go to the urgent care clinic because of an infected wound on my belly. Things became very interesting from there. It was a very enlightening experience. Yep, my wound was infected. Sample sent to the lab for analysis. In the mean time more drugs. Found out more about my covid stay at the hospital from the Physician's assistant and nurse than what they told me at the hospital, a lot more. What they said placed even a darker cloud of suspicion over that hospital. The PA explained in detail how the covid test works and how long it takes. Minimum is 20 minutes to a max of 3 days depending on the test taken. The hospital came back with a positive results in 3 minutes. She also said the records from the hospital showed I was not treated for covid, I was treated for a diverticulitis infection and bacterial pneumonia not caused by covid as well as diabetes. The lab results from blood tests bore that out. So one can only conclude the whole covid thing was faked to get extra government money and roll up the numbers for the political agenda. Also, I found out my primary health care physician is on his way to jail for drug dealing. So, I get to follow up with the lab on the sample and see a new primary care physician over the next week. The fun never stops.

Wow,just wow, you can't even trust your physician to tell you the truth.. Have you talked to them about your wife? IIRC she went in at around the same time right?

For some reason, I am unable to get either of our records from the hospital which had always been available in the past. All requests have gone unanswered. Next week I have 2 doctors appointments. Hopefully I will be able to get a copy through them. It has been 2 months and I have yet to see a bill. They are usually very quick to get money out of you wanting payment before you leave the hospital. They have also tried to rebill me for accounts already paid in the past.

Got the lab report back on my infection, MRSA. For those who don't know what that is, it's a highly drug resistant form of staff infection. And guess where I got it.

Med students don't flunk out of medical schools. You either quit, recieve a felony, or die. Otherwise, they will make you a doctor and set you loose.....let that soak.

My father resisted prescribing antibiotics to those who didn't warrant them and refused to prescribe narcotics for pain, much to the disgust of the drug salesmen, his prestigious reputation came from being a hard *** and his own man. I am sorry there aren't more like him...

You, Sir, should find a good lawyer.

Ever wonder why they only give doctors a license to "practice" medicine? I guess the government never expects them to actually get good at it. My former primary care doctor was a "pain management" specialist along with practicing family medicine. He loved pushing the pain pills.

Dad told me the drug salesman pushed antibiotics and narcotic pain meds like candy and he always resisted the urge to fall into line due to his oath, and developed a reputation for being a boy scout for not jumping aboard.

He sleeps very well at night...

Around here, they really like to push the opioids weather you actually need them or not. I refuse to take them. So far, they don't push antibiotics unless you really need them. I do have to question their push for diabetes and blood pressure meds. I really don't believe I need the BP meds.
