How Do You Do?





Today we went to our  Internal Medicine group, or our GPs, whatever.  The front desk, as nice as they are, are making sure you are walking the line, making sure your insurance or Medicare will cover the expense, and also  keeping your appointments in order and whatever else non-medical they can provide.
Today, if I understand it correctly, they show you a statement of course for the ones having a physical.  I think what they were saying if the doctor giving the physical asks you are doing, be very carefully how you answer that.  Like if you mention you just discovered you have a broken finger, the insurance probably will not provide coverage for that on a physical.  However, he is a professional doctor going by Hypocritic (?), so if he hears it, it is his sworn duty heal it.  So, the insurance might not pay if he goes beyond his duty of giving a physical.  And it could go much beyond that, what if the doctor comes across someone with COVID-19 he needs to drop the physical and get the person quarantined and do what he can.
What if he discovers the person he is giving a physical is pregnant and her water broke and it is as much surprised to the her as it is the doctor?
So, when the doctor asks you as a greeting, “About them DAWGSS?!”  If your dog is sick pretend  you didn’t hear him.
