Posts by Charles Ramirez59

Since those of us without admin privileges can't just edit other people's posts, I've found a little workaround (well, at least for me). I keep one post open—say, the very last one in the thread—and then I just quote the specific post I actually want to see. Once I grab the post number from the quote, I manually tweak the URL to point to that ID, and—voila! 👍

I just leave them alone until they expire, and everything works fine 👍

I used to see her before she moved over to St. Duh.

She's good. 👍

Lisa Richardson8 said:Alright, are you guys finally going to name her?

I go to the place where Dr. Dmitrovic used to be—though I don't actually know this new doctor's name. The lady is just... confused. She's a bit scatterbrained.
I'll probably have to find someone else...

Dr. Mador took her spot. Personally, I'm dodging Mador to stick with Topalovic; I'm just waiting until February because they automatically switched me over to Mador once Dr. Dmitrovic left.

😂
For my little guy, knowing whether he'll be able to deliver naturally is a huge deal.😬 👍

I was flying solo back in 2002, but I haven't been 👍

swiftowl10 said:Feel free to ask the GP to check your breasts. I went to the clinic once for a social worker consultation, but the woman was terrible—unfriendly and wouldn't give me any straight answers.

swiftowl10, please DM me where that was. I’ve seen two doctors there and just walked out (thank God)..

I'm seeing Dr. Miller now and did my Pap smear privately with him $50 — he's polite and actually quite easy to talk to.

P.S. Did you have bleeding after the exam?? 😲 I never have... Damn, what on earth were they doing to you? 😢

That isn't really the standard protocol, unless you're currently undergoing fertility treatments—like right before an HSG, for instance.

Usually, they just want to make sure there aren't any bacterial infections or other underlying issues. I don't know the specific details of your case, though.😳

He’s a guy, but he’s totally fine.
Though I'm not sure if he's taking new female patients since I barely managed to switch over to him three years ago, and even then, it was through a connection!

Dr. Topalovic is actually 👍 🙏
Totally great, he actually talks to you, 5/5 rating.

I’ve been seeing him for about five days now.😁
I wanted to transfer my care, but had issues because it hadn't been 12 months since my last doctor's registration, and I needed a Pap smear... He just did the test privately for $50, gave me his cell number in case I needed anything, did the exam for free, and gave me a prescription ("It doesn't matter that you aren't officially my patient yet, why should you pay? Just register with me next month and we'll get everything sorted.")

Seriously, the guy is 🙏
That was my first time seeing a male gynecologist and I was a nervous wreck, but he didn't just treat me like I was on a treadmill; he was really fair.👍

Unfortunately, he isn't taking new patients... I also got in "through a connection"—my friend is one of his patients, so she asked, and he said he's full and not accepting anyone new "...but, maybe come by tomorrow."🙂

----------------------------------

Ladies, especially students—if you're exempt from the co-pay, DO NOT GET YOUR TESTS DONE PRIVATELY!!!! You end up paying $267 😲 😲 when you could get them for free.
If you do them at the University Health Center, you just drop them off at the lab on Main Street yourself within two hours, and they're ready in three weeks (I know because a friend worked there this past Tuesday at the clinic). If you have to pay the co-pay, it's only $95.27 (which is still way less than $800).

Meanwhile, I just wait for everything to shut down completely...

Are you just staring at those lights?
I'm blinking + I have 😎

Sarah James4 said:But here’s my question: why should I be the one cleaning up after myself when that’s supposed to be their responsibility, not the customer's?

And I'll turn that right back on you: is it really okay to leave an empty, dirty shell in a coffee cup? Cleaning up is the establishment's job, not the customer's, right?😉

Sarah James4 said:It’s simply because tanning salons are service businesses—they rely on my business, and besides, it's their equipment to maintain, not mine... 👎

Maybe I misread you. You don't need to rearrange the room or mop the floors; just give the bed a quick wipe with some disinfectant after you're done. I don't find that particularly taxing, and it's not like it's a huge imposition—which you actually agreed with. To me, it's just basic etiquette, much like cleaning up after yourself in a public restroom.. 🙄

Sarah Allen51 said:The girls are leaving the rooms without cleaning up at all. We end up having to check after them and send them back to do their tanning.

Honestly, they should be cleaning up after themselves. I usually wipe things down when I arrive (I don't trust that anyone did it before me) and then clean up once I'm done. It actually took me about three visits to notice the sign: Please clean the tanning bed after use. There's a spray bottle and paper towels right next to the beds. 😎
