Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hey Bob, I was in the hospital 3x in May and I did the 2nd time give the brochure to the Dr. that was there for me in E.R..I also carry them in my car..you never know.....Now some more good news!!..... I go to a place called ''Family Practice''...they have Interns in the facility and Residents and Dr.'s who graduated. When I was in the hospital the first time, a Dr. K.... came in and was talking to me and asked me if I could do her a big favor...I said anything if you get me well...She was talking about how she is in her 3rd year..blah blah blah and has to do something about ''diseases''..and ''Grand Rounds'' and a presentation of some sort and asked if she could do it on............ Still's Disease!!!!  She said it is so rare and she is really interested in my case!!  I said 'of course' and told her how I have this brochure and pictures of the disease and that we have the web site and everything...she was really interested and we have to do like this interview thingy in a few months in front of other Dr.s...sooooooo, maybe this will help to get Still's known a bit more....ok, that is all Diane..42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Vivi, any chance you could take a copy of the Still's brochure and translate it into Spanish??? /Maine > > Hey Bob, > I was in the hospital 3x in May and I did the 2nd time give the brochure to the Dr. that was there for me in E.R..I also carry them in my car..you never know.....

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Dad Himes: I Have to add this to your note about taking brochures to hospitals and E.R.'s across our country and many others: As a medical coder and biller, " Still's Disease " is listed under the codes as part of t JRA family of diseases. So, sometimes it is not clear and that is how I have had many doctors raise an eyebrow to say, just call it JRA instead and I refuse, because Still's isjust exactly that Adult Onset Still's Disease and not Juvenile R.A. If anyone is concerned about proper code for still's or anything else, please let me know and I will get the codes for you. Tracilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Tracilyn; Please forward the coding to me...I am in somewhat of a hassle with one med group now over this....oh yeah, and recently I had arguments with two seperate sons of beeches at a neuro-quack clinic because they insisted that Still's and RA are the SAME thing.....and they would not back down.....needless to say they discussions became heated and I never went back!!! Like I want those idiots picking my brain....what's left, I need all! Thank You and Take Care!
