  1. Snappy, I’m not as ballsy as you.
    It was still early in the day so it was fine. I don’t ride the trains during rush hour and if I do, I’ll take the local all the way to guarantee a seat.

    ENY, I’m going into Manhattan on Friday. Make sure you’re on my train.

  2. rob, just find another doctor that will take your insurance. It’s not worth the hassle of submitting all the claims plus, you will then be “out of network” and you’ll have to pay a lot more money out of pocket.

  3. Folks with backpacks are the worst offenders, Donatella! They are so heavy you’d swear they were carting around a few corpses and they swing them with wild abandon, knocking down any and everyone within a few feet of them. Whatever happened to the etiquette that you take your backpack off your back while standing on the train or bus so as to allow people to get by you or stand near you without getting *thwacked* to death? Urgh! Death by nylon and canvas.

  4. …think it’s hard finding a doctor now,
    wait till the healthcare bill continues to unwind:

    http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/63521-two-doctor-groups-oppose-senate-doctor-fix-bill

    the new healthcare bill proposes to pay for itself with
    500 billion in cuts to medicare. That means cuts in reimbursements to doctors through CMS. That means a 21% paycut to doctors effective with passage of the bill.

    try working with a sudden 21% pay cut and 30 million more patients and no change in liability issues.
    work harder for less money and by the way, you will still be liable for mistakes you make.
    nice work.

    And the sell-outs at the AMA actually endorsed this? no wonder they only represent about 20% of doctors. They get most of their income from a contract with the federal government to issue yearly coding guidelines. back stabbing idiots.
