hey everyone,
the doctor told me i kept very good care of my wound and that she was surprised it was not cleaned by a professional. i did a great job at scraping it, getting the puss out, and keeping it clean. i said that is what you get from having both your grandma's as professional nurses and a dad who was a medic. not to mention great ideas from the members of bike forums. also, living in a third world country for a year or so you learn how to survive on minimal medical supplies.
i am on antibiotics. i am to watch it because as you know an infection can turn at any moment. i am too keep it elevated as much as posible and continue with cleaning proceedures.
my second complaint is about the health care industry. now i work in benefits as a job. i assist people everyday in figuring what is wrong with their claims. so, today i am at target and my script provider has no information on our cards. this is a problem. no wonder so many people i work with everyday have problems getting their scripts. the correct information in not provided easily on the cards for them. i was lucky. i knew was a bin no was and said i would fax it to them later. trouble though, why is the health care industry to difficult. if i would not have my current job i would still being trying to get my drugs! or worse the doctor would not have seen me. i am concerned about this and i know my providers are not the only ones at fault. i have done what i could do. i raised the issue to my supervisor and she had me send and email to the vp of our benefits and administration of health plans. we will see what happens.
now i understand why people call me crying. i can't get my perscriptions! some of them young and some of them retired. maybe my company doesn't know there is an issue, until now, maybe some of the cards printed were miss printed missing info. ...
