I took my son because his eye was red. Thought he had pink eye.

1. Nurse leads us to room. Puts bp cuff on arm. Puts pulse checker on finger. Presses start button. Machine automatically takes bp and pulse. She writes something down.

2. Doctor comes in. Asks whats wrong. I say eye is red since Monday. Doctor walks over and glances at eye. I tell him no dishcharge, only watery. Doctor says it is a virus and there is nothing he can do. Tells me to put warm compresses on it.

3. Doctor leaves

Time in: 1:00pm exactly
Time out: 1:06 pm exactly.

He didn't even have to put gloves on.

I call later, ask the charge. It 75 bucks.

Why is this???? Is this insanity?????????
Doctors get $75 an hour not per 5 minutes!! Am I wrong?

My father was diagnosed with hardening of the arteries in 2000. He had brain surgery in 1996 and his pituitary gland was completely killed off by the radiation. No one ever checked that until he had crazy symptoms...including high cholesterol that would not go down with meds. Needless to say, he now takes coumadin and levoxyl (as well as numerous other meds). He is 61. He was told that he has hardening of the arteries due to the 4 years of high cholesterol, on top of a lifetime of smoking and bad eating habits. Now, every time he has an ache or pain, he thinks he is dying because he thinks the hardening is a death sentence. I don't know enough about it but am going to begin going to his doc appts b/c he does not give you the whole story. Back in 2000, he had lost control over one side of his body due to this, but then they diagnosed it and gave him the meds and it never happened again. I do know this is irreversible but would like to know what questions to ask tomorrow. Thanks

I am planning on going to the eye doctor but wanted to know what this could be. . . sometimes, especially when it's especially bright or dim in a room, my eyesight will "flicker"--go dim for a moment, or alternate between dim and normal for a few moments, as if someone is turning a light on and off. Any ideas on what this can be? I can't seem to find anything on the Web about it. Thanks.

cancer as described in the dictionary is a foriegn tumor which develops in/on the body. a cancer can be removed surgically or with medication. the reason for the removing a cancer is that it can be matastisize or become malignent and cause damage to other vital organs by blocking the organs ability to function properly. i may have dumbdown the current therories on cancer but this is how i understand the condition. but the decision to operate and remove a tumors even though there is no evidence of it being malignent or growing is a mystery to me. surgery is the first option in a woman with tumors in female organs and medication is the first option in a man. is a man's sexual organs more important then a woman's. hysterectomies and mastectomies out number prostratectomies done in this country. in other countries surgery is the last resort regardless of the sex of the patient. maybe that's why foreign doctors come to america for practice for these operations. i am mad need answer.

The crazy thing is this. I've only ever been with my girlfriend and she's only ever been with me. So that rules out an STD cause but still there is a burning sensation. No discharge so it makes me think it's something else. However did the test for a UTI about an hr and a half after the pain first hit and it came up negative. Does it take a while for the results to show?
