Blasting music at high volumes will absolutely wreck your hearing in the long run.

I couldn't agree more. I’d urge everyone to cut back on headphone use and, for heaven's sake, don't crank the volume to the max when you're driving through town.

A psychiatrist or neuropsychiatrist would work too. Which clinic is considered the leader in that field in NYC?

Yes, you'll need a referral from your primary care physician for every single checkup.

I don't think so... even if you did, it’s better to just do it right rather than finding out later that it didn't matter and you already missed day 21. 🙂

Looking for a social psychologist based in Chicago. Any leads? Thanks.

You’ll be looking at an hour tops, certainly not the entire day. 😉

I’m dealing with the exact same thing. My EEG results come back normal, yet I get these similar symptoms—maybe triggered by weather changes?—though without the headaches. Wouldn't it make more sense to run an EEG right when those episodes actually occur? Have you ever sustained any kind of impact to your head, nose, or neck?

I’m looking for a recommendation for a neuropsychiatrist who actually takes the time to unpack an individual case, rather than treating patients like they're just another item on an assembly line. I'm open to social, private, or a mix of both 😁. Thanks.

Maybe your OB-GYN covered by Medicaid could take a look?

Basically, $33 health insurance is just peace of mind—you pay your premium and you don't have to worry about it.

In short—yes.

You can either get a referral from your primary care physician and book an appointment with a specific doctor, or just request a specialist and take whatever first available slot they throw at you. If you don't have a preferred provider? Just blast an email to everyone in that specialty and see who bites first—or, if you're feeling impatient, just show up in person.

Is the department located in the new building? The green one?

Which hospital are we talking about? Feel free to give them some credit if they're actually good. 😉

If you’re heading into a public hospital for a standard room—not a private suite—you basically need everything 🙂

Look, if you've already got an appointment for your shoulder, just take it. You can't just walk into any clinic and demand every scan imaginable; maybe this specific one is only available at the hospital, but either way, you start with your primary care physician first. Once those results are in, you go back to her to get the referral for the follow-up 🙂

You're going to need a referral, and your primary care physician will let you know where to go for the blood work.

Yeah, they dread those visits like kids dread the Boogeyman.😁

There’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn't consult your mother's doctor later on. You mentioned she isn't hearing well—well, don't be afraid to point that out to the nurses, too; just ask them to repeat things if they notice Mom didn't catch what was said. And of course, ask about her condition. You have every right to request information. That said, during rounds, the dynamic is almost always strictly patient, doctor, and head nurse. 🤷

Everyone has moved to their own specific location, so not everyone is in the same 🙂
