Am I relevant? (Patient Access) [other]
Am I irrelevant? (Patient Access)
So, I’m the ER operator and patient access of a small critical access hospital. My role is to be the (only) operator at night and handle the registration of patients, billing, bed board, and sorting of documents for medical records.
Even though training took 3 months and is quite a lot for one individual. I sometimes feel really irrelevant. The doctors and nurses are so amazing, and I just fill the role of the office bitch. I know that my role is important, as I call out for code blues, clear landing zones for life flights that leave our facility, and all the other things I mentioned. But I feel like I’ll never be considered a truly valuable worker. I don’t even know if I’m considered “healthcare.” I’m disposable.
I’m so proud of our nurses and doctors during this difficult time. But, I can’t help but feel a tear well up inside when I only hear about them. I work so hard, and for countless hours. They rely on me constantly to know protocols and who to call and what to do when they’re stabilizing a patient. I know my work will never add up to theirs. But I feel like all the running, the hard work, and how hard I have to focus at times, doesn’t really matter.

[Question - Other] Medical equipment provider charged 3 times as retail
Hi All,
A few months ago, I broke my knee and went to the doctor for it. Doctor confirmed the fracture and prescribed a knee brace and told me they would be able to provide one there. I asked for the price of it, they told me they were not sure about the price. Since I was in pain, I said ok, and gor the brace. The provider charged $750 to my insurance and my insurance negotiated down to $450. Since I have high deductible plan, I am expected to pay for it. I checked online and the same brace (by the same company, same model etc.) is retailed for $150. I emailed the provider and they told me they would not help out. Is there anything I can do to reduce the bill? Location: California, USA
[question - other] Is there any benefit to having the MD/DO field so arbitrarily difficult to enter?
I see constantly see things about the shortage of docs. I also know standards are much higher than they were even 20 years ago to matriculate into medical school. Does this have any benefits to society, the health system or to physicians in general?
For example, there are not enough US students to even fill all residency spots. I read up to a quarter or residency spots go to physicians trained abroad. Even on top of this, there is still a shortage of physicians after residency!

[Question - Insurance] Should I change my insurance after losing my job?
Recently lost my job due to shutdowns and now Im not sure what to do about my health insurance. I didn’t get insurance through my job, I got it through the NY marketplace so my plan/premiums were tied to my income. While I was employed this cost was do-able but now that I’m unemployed it’s $540/month I can’t afford. So what’s the best thing to do here? I know that the marketplace allows you to make changes to your application for “life events” like job loss but has anyone gone through this already and have advice? Should I change my plan? Would applying while unemployed mean income is $0 and I’m now basically qualified for Medicaid? I feel a bit overwhelmed and I could use some advice, thank you!

Going deodorant free
Hi everyone!
Considering that I'm in lockdown, I thought it would be the perfect timing to stop using deodorant and go through the detox. I was wondering what your thoughts were on how to transition out of the antiperspirant phase. I normally do not sweat too much unless I'm extensively exercising. Besides baby wipes what is a good way to keep dry and fresh?
Thanks!
[Discussion] How long should an abscess bleed?
I Injured my knee from my fall last week I had a large abscess that I had drained three days ago. The doctor told me to change out the dressing every two days I’ve changed it out twice because it came out when I changed my bandage. There still a little blood. It looks watery. It gets on the Curad strip I have to put into the open cut. Is this normal? I’m also taking antibiotic Clindamyacin.

[Question - Other] Feedback on Project Pilot Idea
Hello all. New to this subreddit, but I hope this post abides the rules
My team and I from MIT COVID-19 Hackathon have a project that involves aiding health-care professionals. In the safest, fastest way possible we aim to train volunteers and match them to hospitals in need to free up valuable healthcare provider time. Short-term, we want to help mitigate the effects of the Covid19 pandemic, but hope to become a long-term support system for the healthcare system in the US and abroad.
We plan on recruiting and screening our volunteers online. During the screening process volunteers are trained using our online courses that have been reviewed by medical professionals, and group training sessions led by medical professionals. When screening and training is complete volunteers will be matched with hospitals in their region.
I'm just here to ask for feedback on this idea from anyone familiar with the healthcare system, as well if anyone wishes to contribute to the project in any way by, i guess, giving feedback?
Thank you for reading,
here's a nonexistent potato
Slow Your Roll from Alleyoop
Has anyone tried this, are there good reviews on it? I'm interested in the claim that it'll inhibit hair growth, but of course, I want to know if it works/gives no bad reactions too.
Thank you!

Natural Deodorant recommendations
Hi all, I've switched to natural deodorants for some time now. Atleast 5 months at this point. I've tried Myro, Native, and Schmidts. Myro was a no go for me, gave me irritation (no baking soda in ingredients, just did not do well with my skin for whatever reason). I do like Native, it works well but feel like there might be something better. What do you use and love?
