Today I go again to the Clinical Encounter

[Guest guest]



Heading for the doctor today. This is the third set of doctors that I have trained. As my earning power and insurance decreases, as does the type of clinic I get to go to. Back when I had wealth, they used to clamor to give me pills; now I have to go, hat in hand, head bowed, trying to present myself as a serious patient, and beg.

But enough of that.

I've already gotten several bits of good advice from y'all about how to conceive of these doctor visits. I am armed with an array of questions: How many patients with HepC do you see? Do you know the standard of care for watching HepC patients? Do you have a Hepatologist that you can refer me to? What can I do to beat this fatigue so that I can keep on working? How long can I tolerate the herbal remedies?

Can you think of any more good questions for me before I have to go?

Thank you all. I'm really enjoying the comraderie of this list. I was so isolated and alone in my attempts to figure out this dragon. I really feel that I'll be able to better manage my care after reading your input.
