  1. @shane_walker q2 defensive medicine and demands/expectations of American patients increase utilization which = high medical expenses
  2. @shane_walker Q1 Almost never does someone self pay for general surgery. They either have insurance or don't and don't pay & go to ER
  3. @MarksPhone If they keep quibbling over $3 they won't have any doctors, irrespective of Joe
  4. Awesome. Eavesdropping at my office to overhear a patient complain to my biller about having to pay $3.39.
  5. @shane_walker Even doctors that are part of groups that pay for their malpractice practice defensive medicine
  6. @shane_walker It's not just premiums that drive defensive medicine, it is patient expectations.
  7. RT @gruntdoc: Why is American healthcare expensive? Americans. [But I'm entitled.]
  8. @gruntdoc Yah, science be damned when politics and emotions are involved.
  9. @ChristineSouza Ice cream goes through the Band. (I forgot you had one.)
  10. American Col. of Radiology recommends continuing annual mammograms(& the Ice Cream Council says your ideal weight is 400 lbs)
  11. @PatGermelman I'm glad you have reset your priorities appropriately
  12. @PatGermelman A higher purpose than football? Are you not familiar with touchdown jesus? http://tinyurl.com/ykyvujm #sarcasm
  13. New Orleans City Hall shut down early today for the Saints-Pats. How will people tell the difference?
  14. @PatGermelman Notre Dame has scholarships for kids w/o funds, [who are exceptionally bright at football.]
  15. If I were a Notre Dame student, how would I feel about my school paying $18 million for Weis to NOT be their coach?
  16. @chrishedgecock in lieu of the cash , I'll take your shades. So I can stroll with 'emphasis'
  17. @ddn @gtravel Thanks. I'm still holding out for the oft-rumored Apple Tablet. Will try Kindle app.
  18. @gtravel @ddn My wife swears by Kindle iPhone app as well. Intuitively the screen seems small to me, but I've never tried to read at length
  19. @ayb I agree. I can't believe people fall for the orange button on this site: http://bit.ly/lzyh
  20. @ddn Do you do Kindle, Kindle app for iPhone, or audio books?
