Not a fan of tattoos. Is it just me or do others see a correlation between mental illness and tattoos. Not citing any study just personal observation. Its pretty clear that were loosing the longevity battle in this country largely due to obesity but if in fact these results are reproducible then it's just another nail in the coffin.
The primary reason for requiring the provider evaluation is that some providers are lazy and send everything to the ER. The policy at my local urgent care is the receptionist notifies the nurse and provider right away if their is concern and the provider triages the customer promptly. I should know I am the sole owner of 2 urgent care facilities for nearly 30 years. I'm the only self employed physician left in my county. Employees often do not care and it is getting worse. Sounds like Lindsey works for the greedy hospital corporate ER conglomerate and the urgent care industry is stepping on some toes. Last I checked urgent care is the fastest growing segment of health care.
Doctor here. The "pandemic" was the most frustrating medical event in my career. Own my own medical business. 30 years. The feds/state insurers threatened to stop paying me if I didn't mandate the vaccine for employees. I had pregnant employees and several others not wanting the vaccine. I never mandated the vaccine, fortunately the insurers continued paying. Had the payments stopped it would have likely caused bankruptcy. I picked up a couple good nurses from the local hospital that mandated the vaccine. I could go on but this post is to long already.
Believe it or not pagers work better in tunnels. Low frequency however low data transmission is the trade off.
