Not being called about abnormal lab results --- new standard of care ??

By    12:32 // No comments

I'm a 53 yo WM who recently had to switch PCPs because my former doc retired. My new family doc is out of residency for a couple years and I've seen him twice for routine well visits and he's friendly enough but never calls me about abnormal lab results. Now these aren't devastating lab results like a positive HIV test or a diagnosis of Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, but one was a fasting blood glucose of 113 and another was a slightly elevated WBC count. With all my previous docs I've had, I would at least get a call from an office nurse saying something like "this or that was elevated but nothing to be concerned about, we'll just repeat it in six months on your next visit". But with this new doc, I get NADA, zip, nothing. Not even a lowly email.

Should I be concerned about this young doc, or is this the new standard of care amongst Millenial physicians?

What are issues in healthcare that could be solved by software?

By    05:32 // No comments

I am a software developer interested in solving small and large problems. Outside of the extreme staffing shortages and lack of funding, do you have any particular issues that you believe could make your day more enjoyable and/or less stressful? Thanks.

where can I purchase health insurance for a month

By    00:31 // No comments

I am changing jobs and will have lapse in health insurance for a month. This month I will be travelling a lot and I would like to purchase some kind of accidental/emergency insurance. All short term plans offer three month options and I don't want to overpay for two extra months. I would appreciate if someone can suggest how to find a one month option. Otherwise I am perfectly healthy. No prescribed medications.

I would greatly appreciate all your help.

Welfare Questions

By    04:31 // No comments

So my grandma is obsessed with the idea of welfare. She wants free healthcare, which I don’t think is possible in the US. She has Medicaid right now but wants more benefits like lower bill costs and free food. I would love to help her move to welfare but only issue is that she lives with my family and my dad works for the government. Don’t know if that’s an issue or not. I’m not sure on what the other options are or if there are any at all. Sorry for long post.
