F2F with physician coming up, any suggestions?
#21
Does F2F mean with a pain clinic? 15 yrs ago, (we had no ins) I started going to this doctor who runs a urgent care clinic. His office visits are $49 and have been for that long. He takes no insurance,doesn't want to deal with it (don't blame him) sometimes I've been in there and the sign up sheet is up to 60-70 patients. He's real quick, hears your problems, prescribes. Not much of a personality but I've gotten used to him. Now for the last 4 yrs or since the ACA came in effect, we have insurance. It's crappy stuff with doctors in my opinion, that are 2nd rate. Anyway, long story short, I still use the urgent care guy. Even tho ZERO personality, he manages a few medical probs I have. He knows I have insurance but continue to use him b/c I told him I like the convienence of just walking in when I want, not long wait, plus he gives me what i want when I want(i don't tell him that) I also don't abuse his willingness to prescribe me things. When I go every six months to get my BP meds refilled, sometimes if I'm low on certain things I'll tell a white lie that I'm flying and need something to calm me down for the flight. He doesn't give me much, but it holds me over until my ship comes in. When I was honest years ago to him and told him I have HORRIFIC panic attacks, he suggested Paxil (no thanks) Why can't they understand the horror of panic attacks and that Benz work so well?

Face to Face is with any accepted medical professional in their state. A doctor, a PA. So, yes, seeing a doctor via a pain clinic is somewhat a F2F.
