Time for Medical Establishment Rustling time with Haus...
As documented in other threads, I have a kidney situation going on, which is probably going to necessitate surgery soon. As such the Dr wanted me to get a CT scan last week to monitor the situation and see if it was stable or getting worse.
I go get the scan. Afterwards, I ask them for a copy of the scan on a CD, which they can do, and they do for me. I get home. Pop open the scan and in 5 minutes I've identified "the enemy" (A kidney cyst), and used the viewing software to measure it (23mm x 27mm x 34mm). I figure in a day or two the Dr will call me and we'll schedule the follow up and plan things (i.e. when I'm going under the knife).
No call last week. I drop them a note on the patient portal Monday. They call me back Monday afternoon. They ask when I'm going to get the CT scan. I tell them I've already had it done. They then confirm they haven't gotten the report from the radiologist. I tell them "I have the whole thing on the CD. I can bring to the office". They tell me "No, that won't work, we just have to get the report from the radiologist."
I'm starting to think/believe that they don't know how to actually read the scan images (something which took me 20 minutes with the software which COMES ON THE CD WITH THE SCAN to figure out). And they're doing my diagnosis off the two sentences the radiologist types up in the email they send them....

Good luck man! I had a CT 15 years ago when they found a bit of plasma in my urine during a flight physical. They never could pinpoint what caused it so just rubber stamped me.
I'm sure I'll be dead of some random cancer in 3 years

They rely on the radiologist so they can blame them if they miss something/misdiagnose, and because they are lazy.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to steer clear of something that is wide open to subpoenas or other things which may/may not get them into trouble at some random point in time and based upon political/chemically/psychosis of the day/ induced whimsy of the issuer/claimant/bereaved/golf buddy of judge/mayor/state senator.

lawyer think's its because they are lazy, pot > kettle.
No susan, it's because your profession exists. Radiologists job is to interpret images and provide a report to CYA for the dr to confirm the diagnosis.
If we hung every litigator and got rid of malpractice then sure, your dr or his secretary or his 12 year old child could click through the software and say "yeah, looks good" but sadly no, we can't live in that world because

Normal people start their emails like this.
"Hi Joe, " or "Dear Joe," or "Hey dude"or whatever. There is a specific name for this part of the correspondence. Old etiquette books probably gave it a whole chapter (for written letters)
People who are butthurt start their emails like this:
"Joe:"
Its a little frustrating being made to explain whats absolutely obvious to anyone whos read an email ever.

You mispelled faggots and karens there.
Literally only faggots and karens start any correspondence much less a fucking email with a salutation before the receivers name.
Dearest Aldarion,
I hope this letter finds you well and inspires joy joy feelings throughout your day.
Just kidding,
,
sincerely,
Everyone.

I keep daily notes in Word. It's one word file per job location. Every day I start a new list. For some reason yesterday Word decided that every time I do a new fucking list, I REALLY meant to continue the last list. So I have to push the back button 3 times then right click and tell it to restart at 1 every goddamn day. Like, why the fuck did that change? I can't find the setting.
I don't even know why I number them. I guess I'm going to switch to bullets.

My company email filter filters emails from payroll. This is a half jimmy rustle half pickle tickle. It would probably be 100% pickle tickle if they were filtering the fucking birthday announcements and allowing the paycheck notices. But no. They have it flipped.

Dress shoes? Good shoes may have nails or a thin support layer of metal along the sole where you can't really see or get to.

Nah, that’s makes sense. Been wearing some Pilotis the last few times. Now I know at least, but it’s a hassle.

Used to happen to me a lot. Fun fact: after 9/11 power company places (even the fucking offices for some dumb ass reason) have metal detectors in them. If I was in one of these offices it was for work, as I was an electrical contractor and I usually had steel toed boots, 5-7 knives, screw drivers etc on me. I had to get half undressed to go see some dumbass to explain why their design didn't work.
Does that sound cranky? Because it was!

shoppay / shopapp
I went to buy something earlier. I got to the payment page and realized I still had scripts disabled. So I enabled them and when the page refreshed, all my info was filled in including my CC info. There was a popup box wanting me to enter a code that was just texted to my phone. You should all know something about me. I don't save my CC info anywhere online anymore. Not since the bullshit with paypal. I don't let my computer autofill it, I don't save it in the cloud. The only places I let keep a card in file are utility companies, and that's a different card than what these fuckers had. So I don't know how these cocksuckers got all my info including my CC info. I know for god damn sure I never willingly signed up with them and I had never heard of them before today.
Oh and after the refresh, all of my payment options other than shoppay were gone. Initially they had a slew of options including direct entry.
