It wasn't every single lap, though I suppose Lewis Hamilton had similar luck last year in much the same way. 😉

I doubt that, given their financial structure and total headcount (Haas has about 250, Red Bull has 800, while Mercedes is closer to 1,000)...
Now, I suppose I'll take 25 laps without checking this forum.

I suppose I'm not entirely sure.
Passing is generally quite difficult on this circuit. It seems more likely that one driver will spin out before Vettel decides to let anyone past.

What a complete circus 🙂

Haha

Lewis Hamilton's lap was quite something; the car looks like it's practically glued to the track. That sequence through turns 11 and 12 was particularly impressive and fast. I suppose I expected more from Ferrari, but I guess they've at least secured their first shot at the start.

There shouldn't be any issues regarding the travel reimbursement 😉

Any eye doctor would probably spot that in a matter of seconds, I suppose, though the waiting lists tend to be the real headache.

I suppose with roughly $5,000, one could probably transition using the setup crimsonstag84 mentioned, while covering the monitor, SSD, power supply, and some basic peripherals like a keyboard and mouse.
Particularly, I'd likely opt for a power supply capable of supporting a more powerful graphics card later on, once prices eventually drop.

Also, I wonder if the Intel Core i3-8100 is significantly better, since from what I've read, it features Vega 11 graphics?

If I take this processor, motherboard, and RAM combo and just add a power supply and an SSD, I suppose you’d end up with a decent enough machine for a relatively small amount of money.
I wonder which power supply and monitor would be appropriate to pair with it?
Thanks

Apply either a fresh sterile gauze pad or some Steri-Strips, depending on how large the area is.
I suppose you could coat it in Betadine or spray it with Octenisept, though if the wound is minor and isn't showing signs of infection, there probably isn't much point in bothering.

I suppose it might be important to place the order within a ninety-day window.

... and then you're looking at a 5-6 month wait just for an eye exam at Johns Hopkins Hospital??
... plus, I hear they aren't even taking orders for abdominal ultrasounds anymore? (presumably because there isn't a doctor available for
work)?

1. I suppose it’s likely because once an order goes through the central system, it has to be routed to the specific department, I guess.?

2. My assumption would be that they don't just handle tertiary care? (An ophthalmologist near where you live might handle it, whereas a general hospital would probably have to request a referral to the Mayo Clinic)

3. It's much the same as the other issue. Most local Health Departments have ultrasound machines, yet somehow people living 80 miles away 62 miles are still being scheduled for ultrasounds in Chicago.

I suppose on a global scale, one really ought to undergo an OCT 😉

And if they're right in the center and just staying stationary, then I guess there's probably some kind of issue at play

Roger Phillips5 said:Well, here goes me after all these years. When I first started this thread, I was dealing with some serious issues... but honestly, things have been pretty smooth up until now. I haven't had any massive CSCR episodes worse than the very first one back in 2007.
But now? Now I’m facing a different kind of mess. I’ve got these tiny little glowing spots in both eyes, right in my central vision. They leave these brief dark patches behind them, which finally disappear once I wake up and get moving. To me, these little specks feel exactly like that big bright spot I had when I dealt with the exudative detachment. It seems like I just have a ton of tiny ones now. Has anyone else gone through this?
I think I’m going to have to go back to a raw food diet—lots of fruit and veggie juices—which always helped me recover whenever my eyes started acting up.

And before all this started, I had this intense pain in the left side of my stomach. I was positive it was cirrhosis... but then I did the breath test for Helicobacter pylori and it came back negative. My doctor put me on some acid reflux pills, and frankly, I suspect those might have actually made things worse.

Based on how those disturbances sound, it might just be changes in the vitreous, which tends to happen as we age, though it usually shows up earlier in people with myopia.
Are you seeing fragments, spots, or floaters drifting through your field of vision?
If there aren't any flashes, it's probably nothing to worry about.
The main thing is making sure there isn't a constant curtain blocking your view, since that would be a sign of retinal detachment.

Generally speaking, the referral is valid for 90 days at full coverage.

Edit: here is the official notice from Medicare.

That table is outdated.
Orders should probably be placed within 90 days of the prescription being issued, I suppose.

Once you've signed the contract for your policy 😉
I suppose it might stay valid for about 30 days after the signing date, if I recall correctly.

An A4 referral for a second opinion.
I suppose I'm not entirely certain if the doctor is strictly obligated to provide one; it seems more likely that if they decide a second perspective is necessary, you'll receive it.
That said, if you haven't had any issues with your physician thus far, I don't see much reason why they wouldn't just issue the referral.
P.s. Just so you know, the window to fulfill the order is 90 days from when the referral is issued. 😉
