Alright, thanks. I guess I'll just keep waiting...

My husband got an official notification through his online portal back on the 29th—it showed up right there in his digital records—but I haven't seen a single thing on my end...

Does a primary care doctor handle the referral for a coagulation profile, or should I be asking my OB-GYN? Thanks!

Honestly, don't bother... I thought the exact same thing, and I ended up getting appointments scheduled for next year! That’s why I eventually just started calling everyone myself. I sent over my medical history, photos of the hives on my face, played the "please help me" card, and finally managed to snag an appointment for next week.

Basically, here's the deal—I got a referral to see an immunologist, paid my co-pay $3.25 directly to my primary care doctor. Everything seemed fine, so I went through with the appointment. Fast forward seven months, and suddenly a bill shows up at my house for that exact same day, specifically asking for the co-pay again $9.25.
So, I gave them a call to figure out what on earth was going on, and all I got was some "blah blah blah, you have to pay" nonsense. I'm genuinely lost here...

2. Is there anywhere locally that performs polyethylene glycol (macrogol) testing? A private lab is fine too.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there,
I actually just sent out emails to various hospitals and picked the appointment time that worked best for my schedule. Everyone I reached out to got back to me—places like Vinogradski, Holy Spirit, Rebro, and the Pulmonology department...

Hey everyone, can anyone recommend a dermatologist who actually takes the time to investigate the root cause? I’m looking for someone who won't just reflexively prescribe corticosteroids without considering if there's an underlying systemic issue... (I've got eczema around my eyes and mouth). Every single test comes back negative, yet the eczema just won't clear up. To make matters worse, whenever I have a flare-up, my doctor just tells me to head to the ER. Thanks.

Hey, how did you end up fixing yours? Thanks!

Hey there,
Has anyone here ever actually paid their co-pay after a checkup at the Downtown Health Center, but specifically used the barcode on the bill? I'm trying to figure out what information is actually required to get it processed correctly. Thanks!

Thanks a million for the help🙂)

Hey there... does anyone know if it’s actually possible to mess up an ink refill? So, I picked up a new Canon PIXMA series back in April. I went through the little bit of ink that came pre-installed pretty quickly, so I took it to get refilled. Everything seemed fine at first, but when I went back to the same shop for the second refill, the printer just quit on me. Now it won't print anything—it either spits out blank pages or just manages to print the first two lines before giving up. It's a total nightmare. I already tried resetting the printer and reinstalling the drivers on my PC, but nothing works...
Can anyone please help me out here?
Also, after that second refill, I noticed quite a bit of ink leaking out of the cartridge...
Thanks...

I actually had Lazesoft Recovery Suite on a USB drive and gave it a shot... but nothing worked. Thanks for the reply, I guess, but how am I supposed to download anything when I'm stuck staring at a black screen that won't budge?
I'll just take it down to the local repair shop. Thanks anyway...

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone here might have run into this before because I’ve been searching everywhere and coming up totally empty... So, basically, I was cleaning out some files on my computer, and when I went to reboot, I got slapped with an "NTLDR is missing" error screen. I tried looking for a fix online, but nothing seems to work for me...
1. I'm running a cracked version of Windows XP, so I don't actually have an official installation disc handy.
2. I can't get into Safe Mode; hitting F8 does absolutely nothing.
3. I checked under advanced BIOS features -> boot sequence, and I see "1st Boot Device" and "2nd Boot Device." I tried swapping them around thinking that might help, but no luck—even though I saw a YouTube tutorial where that supposedly fixed the issue for someone else.
Please, if anyone knows what to do, help me out!
Thanks...
