Guest guest Posted May 2, 2001 Report Share Posted May 2, 2001 An older lady was having a followup visit with her DS surgeon. He asked her if she was having any problems with passing gas. She told him that she did. " As a matter of fact, you don't know it because there is no smell and they don't make any noise, but I've passed gas at least a dozen times since you came into the room. " " Oh, I see, " said the Doctor. " I'm going to give you a prescription. Take one capsule at breakfast. Come back in a week and we'll see how we're doing. " A week later the lady returned. " Doctor, " she said, " I am so upset. Those capsules have made me smell terrible! I thought you said that the medicine would help. All they did is embarrass me. " " Great, that took care of the sinus problem, " replied the doctor. " Now we can work on your hearing. " - - - - - - Well, my PCP is on board and supportive of a DS. I live on the west coast and want a lap so it looks like Dr. or Dr. Rabkin. Are there any other surgeons who I should be thinking about? I talked to my primary insurance carrier yesterday and heard the " medical necessity " line which should not present a problem. Ah, the paper chase begins.
