Had a doctor's appointment today what they call "wellness visit."
I like this doctor, who I got hooked up with when I broke my ribs. Unfortunately she's hooked up with "Kootenai Health" the local area megaglomerate, and for that reason alone I dislike "the outfit."
So I go in and the usual stupid questionaires two in particular
One dealt with "Ok-ing" that this is a "wellness" visit which gets billed "differently" and is not to be used for this or that, otherwise I should have a "regular visit" or get "double billed." Christ!!! Are you people incredible or WHAT
So this got done as a "regular visit" I guess.
The REALLY annoying one-- (bear in mind this is in Idaho) was a one sheet deal questioning me "Did I use higher than normal prescription doses of opoids" and "Did I use NON prescribed opoids?
I read this thing and it's the UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PSYCHIATRIC dept. I put down "FU" only I did not use the "short form" and wrote "I DO NOT USE ILLEGAL DRUGS"
And then I said something to the staff. They told me "it's a study and I don't have to participate." Well, THAT IS NOT WHAT THEY SAID when they handed me this form!!!
