A new method of medicine is emerging
Doctors shedding insurance companies purging
Enter into a contract directly with the doctor
IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY

You too can have a  personal Doctor today
Approximately $2000-$10,000 will buy you
A General Practitioner
FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY.

Small print is how they hide the truth away
What does that mean ? Your private Doctor
Doctors predicated by the highest bidder.
Medical care is more of a babysitter,

Insurance make sure a doctor will not overcharge.
They Make sure doctors are not prescribing
Absorbent tests to pad their pocket
Insurance incentivize doctors not to prescribe tests.

Prognosis Cancer pray it’s benign
Expensive tests  doctors hard to find
Hurry up and wait your out of time
When money is a factor life is a crime

However private concierge, doctors
Do not account for hospital coverage
and charges occurred; anesthesiologist all Specialist
You need a contract with each of these doctors

PRIOR TO SERVICE impossible in emergency

SELF-SERVING
DOCTORS
DEMAND
TOP DOLLAR

(For those who can afford it )
give the doctor a holler

A typical doctor will carry 500 to 4000 patients
There are so many holes in this philosophy
People put themselves at risk.
Doctors maintain this is better for the sick

2 urgent patients need care , who wins,
The one who pays the most
What about the other patient?  Where do they go
to the father, the son in the Holy Ghost


Typically, a doctor can see four patients an hour
Fifteen minute increment per patient
Account for lunch paperwork bathroom
A typical doctor can see 24 in an eight hour day

Specialist will see less and charge 4 times more
First time, patient several grand out the door
Paying for this out-of-pocket,
The concierge doctor seems responsible sign lock it

Some people still have to retain regular insurance
And also paying for a concierge doctor.
Medicare has always been the gold standard
Now Drs refusing Medicare send patients away

Contracted Drs. can’t pick and choose who to see
some have private secondary coverage 100%paid
Doctors don’t know what insurance you have. Insurance mandates,Drs., to take all or nothing

What’s the problem? What happened? What’s going on? The heart of the issue never solved
The unspoken truth, your doctor is a business
They need to make overhead pay their bills

Medicare has adopted the attitude.
“We are bringing you thousands of patients
(For the most part), they won’t come in that often you make money regardless(.not true )

There are some high utilized patients the sick.
catastrophic. Cancer Terminal ill. The slow ****
The law of averages should make it beneficial for a doctor to have advantages as a medicare provider

That used to be true. But sadly NO Medicare’s reimbursement is low. Dr bill $300. Medicare allows $98. The doctor must w/o $202

The difference. Medicare only pays 80%.78.40
The 20% the patient pays or has second insurance
Dr. hires no experience, medical bills
A bad biller can destroy a practice within 6 months

BLT Websters word of the day challenge
4-5-25 Benign
Benign describes something that does not cause harm or damage. In medical context. It is used to describe something that is not threatening life as in a benign tumor.

FYI
Doctors are now turning away, Medicare patients
I currently drive an hour and a half to two hours to doctors as the closest available that will take my insurance. Concierge doctors is on the rise. I’ve had so many doctors. Tell me I don’t take any insurance. People will get sick. They will pay.
Then they asked me where do you go for medical service. I look at them earnestly and say oh no I don’t go to any doctors around here. What I’m really saying is I don’t go to self-serving money hungry doctors who milk the system.
But many people are not that savvy when it comes to doctors, they think of doctors as gods. I did Dr. credentialing I know better. When you’re looking at a doctor who’s on his fourth med legal in fraction almost ready to be kicked off of all insurance company lists and not able to have patience and we’re supposed to pretend this is a wonderful doctor for our staff. I handled the med legal cases example, a patient dies their file goes under lock and key on my desk and I have to find something else at fault, other than my doctor. The machine hadn’t been serviced faulty equipment  yeah
I was a certified biller and coder. Then I started teaching at a post secondary two year degree program for medical billing. I did doctor education throughout the United States worked on emergency hotline all different areas within the medical field. I had my own medical billing service business chain, doctors and staff how to build correctly Education classroom to their office.. the lack of education in these office is astounding when somebody tells you the balance is your responsibility, call your insurance and make sure they build it correctly. 33% of errors in billing and they try to build a patient unwittingly especially older patients pay it.. They might just be asking for doctor information.
Special Tribute;  March Women’s Month Moment

This special woman
In her family tree
Had 69 children
How can that be
Let’s do the math
and we shall see

Valentina, Vassilyev is it in the
Guinness world book of record history
for the most children born by a single mother .
How is this possible a true mystery

Between 1725 and 1765 40 years
Through laughter love and tears
A Russian peasant woman thrive
Giving birth to 69 children alive

This special woman
in her family tree she had 69 children.
How can that be?
Let’s do the math and then we’ll see

16 pairs of twins (32)

7 sets of triplets (21)

4 sets of quadruplets (16)

Total pregnancies, 27

Surviving children 67 out of 69 survived infancy

The father Feodor Vassilyev who was said to
Have fathered 87 children 69 with Valentina
And 18 with his second wife.(multiple wives)

Although Guinness Would Record confirmed
Many in the medical world have doubts.
1700s Russia, a period of history
in which data reveals over

a quarter to half of all children died in infancy.
Director of division of reproductive services and women’s health at John Hopkins.sights
lack of records a big hole in their story

Stealing the mother’s triumphant Glory
Honestly they just don’t know the whole story
And there, in lies the seed of suspicions
What about woman’s intrusion

Is this the case of trying to rewrite history?
Forever shroud in myths and mystery
God did say go forth and multiply
It was confirmed so now why is it a lie?

I do raise the suspicion in triplets and quadruplets that would be harder to carry those are typically followed by lower birth rates in a time when babies did not survive. Perhaps her did thrive!

I was told stories of girls getting married age 15-16
Since the age of 18, mothers gave birth 13 months apart that’s a start. I believe this could be true.
Generations had different family values who knew

What do you believe
truth or myth to deceive
What about it?
Yay or Nay

A woman is made for child bearing
Breastfeeding and caring with love
How would you feed 4 hungry babies
20 minute intervals two per side

Anyone who breast-fed knows
it’s a Suppy in demand situation
Her ******* had to be huge
rock, hard full of milk always

If you start to break it down
It would take a village a town

Hugged an
old person
all alone

There’s that
musty smell.

It’s

Even in

Yet nobody
else notices.
Should I

it’s there?

Could

I don’t care

If I’m

A pig pen
Glow

A Horrific
Odor
As I get older
A
Bad smell
I can’t tell
Do others
ignore it
From me?

Is it
dead skin
in their
clothes
that makes
me
want to
hold my
nose?

Nobody knows
for sure
If they did,
there would
be a cure

For now,
Lots of
Quality
Expensive
Perfume cologne
A multitude
The old
Condone

As
Grandfather
would say
“pull
my finger
The odor
will linger”

I will always
remember
that smile
on his face

He was
An old
Chester Cat
Top hat
Grin

He
Used up
all nine
lives
Just
Like that
A
Mischievous
Smile

The bright Side
when
I pulled
his finger,
That
Incredible
smile
Also
lingered

That Smell 1977

BLT webster’s word of the day challenge
4-3-25 SNARK
Is a formal word that refers to attitude or expression of mocking irrelevant, and sarcasm
4-4-25 HEW
Is commonly used with to, to mean “ to conform or adhere to something”. Hew on his own, has several meanings having to do with cutting or shaping with a sharp tool, such as an ax.
I don’t know why you smell that with elderly people, but they don’t seem to notice. Nobody seems to say anything. What’s the deal? Is that what I have to expect for real.?
My brother married
A vivacious woman
She positively glowed
as effusive compliments
echo by my brother

She beguiled him
With her charms.
She was a cynosure
Of all eyes
As she walked
Into the room

As time passed
Their love
Became volatile

My brother and I

A good time to visit

Cloudy weather

Thunderstorms, Eminent Danger

Lighting Strikes likely Twice

I only heard this report once;

A Cyclone Twister
Appeared out of nowhere
Run for the hills
Nowhere to hide
No one is safe
Probable Casualties

My reply;
Yep I’ll skip the visit
To my Brother’s today

Brother’s reply;
Yes a good judgment call
Little Sister

My reply ;
Thanks for the heads up, Bro

I’m a Smooth Sailing Breeze
Perhaps I’ll Catch you
On the way back.
Depending on where

“Bury me at Sea

I fear RIP”

Regardless of this turbulence
This couple has been together for 45 years
a lot of weather under the bridge. I think that’s what they mean by weathering the storm. If marriage was easy, everybody would be married. I think we’re just the kind of people who don’t quit. you take the good with the bad regardless of the situation you keep going and there’s always tomorrow. There’s no such thing divorce. If you think about it, if you know you’re gonna be together tomorrow, it kind of takes the sting out of those hurtful comments. more than 50% of all marriages end in divorce.

We are only as strong

In preservation we think
Make love, not war
What are we fighting for?


As in the time of Noah
Fighting amongst ourselves

America will fall from within
On our knees tribulation begins
The vultures circle to feast
The arrival of Satan‘s beast
The smell of death is in the air

American’s act without care
Living absent of God, unaware
When tribulation begins
Man’s Sins Will be on full display
God‘s wrath has plenty to say

God wants our full attention
The Bible reveals His full intention
