Halloween with the Neurologist

The spookiest night of the year

[@tazlinarhetoric4543]

I love how the neurologist doesn't dislike kids. He just... woefully misunderstands them

[@Sahdirah]

Right? It’s honestly a lot more wholesome than I was expecting. :P

[@janinawaz4596]

As a little kid I suspect I would've been enamored with the neurologist. I could've related to him more than most adults, and his condescension would've been comparatively mild.

[@boelwerkr]

Why wouldn't he, Children brains are not that different from normal ones. ;-)

[@Uufda651]

Ngl can 100% see kid me trying to get into a long debate/lecture with Neurology and my mom apologizing to him and yanking me partway down the street to lecture me about how I'm not supposed to bother people by getting excited and talking too much, as she's wont to do, even now that I'm an adult

[@SabrinaPhynn]

First thing i addressed this am and last thing I addressed this evening... Denials from UHC. 🎃 Not a treat at all 😢

[@Alepain962]

Could you explain to a European fellow what is this supposed to mean? The physician asks the insurance to cover a specific treatment for a certain patient and the insurance can refuse?

[@torpedan]

@@Alepain962 Essentially yeah. Some procedures or medications require what’s called a prior authorization were you have to get approval ahead of time from them for a procedure. It’s common for insurance to deny everything or to require a ton of paperwork even for consideration of approval. It gets even worse because on the consumer side they too will also get a denials for their expense claims (and those denials can happen even when they had prior authorization)

[@dukeofanchor]

I actually wouldn’t mind receiving a reflex hammer and toothpicks from the neurologist if I were trick-or-treating lol

[@Zer0r2]

"Oh it's scary, there's an orthopedic surgeon in there doing a neuro exam" bruh 😭😂 ortho would never

[@whynotjustmyusername]

I actually saw this before. In Germany, the ambulance service relies not only on paramedics, but more serious cases are also seen by an ambulance doctor. Usually this is done by anaesthesia/critical care, but any doctor can do a short course and become an ambulance doctor. And so there I was with an ortho as ambulance doctor. We saw a stroke and he whipped out the "FAST" scheme. Seriously, bone bro? Firstly, "FAST" is for untrained first aiders, for the average Joe, I expect you to know a bit more about neurology than "Face, Arms, Speech". And even if, "FAST" is outdated! Nowadays it's "BE FAST" (+ Balance, Eyes)! Knowing that this guy might be dispatched to save my parents is indeed scary.

[@StAmander]

It’s battle between bone bros and brain bros over who gets to play with the patients spine. Trust me, I get told to avoid ortho when it comes down to my completely unnecessary spinal fusion surgery that could of been avoided if I avoided pain management.

[@ninachang8829]

Worked in three countries. It is scary in most cases in these three countries. Lol

[@dklein2008]

[@JohnADoe-pg1qk]

Greed

[@sopyleecrypt6899]

The purpose of insurance companies is to make money for their shareholders and CEOs. Why would they pay out (ie lose money) on a policy if there was any way on god’s green earth that they could avoid it? They have whole departments devoted to finding ways to not pay out.

[@HisameArtwork]

sorry, hugz.

[@krisherman3513]

I swear they spend more money paying people to deny claims than they would to pay the claims, especially when they have preset rates with the providers. Like a billionaire spending 5 million dollars in attorney and accountant fees to avoid a million in taxes. I think there is just a perverse pleasure they get with denials.

[@StAmander]

@@krisherman3513 yeah, and when they could of saved money in the long run by authorising a more expensive treatment instead of many cheesy ones that don’t work or worsen outcomes.

[@ZijnShayatanica]

And golf balls.

[@carvedinshadows]

Our dental office made a big production of buying halloween candy from kids, but the amount was something like 1/lb and even little kids can see that's a scam XD Meanwhile we tried to figure out if my nieces and nephew had even a pound of unwanted candy (like the giant marshmallow peanuts, or several kinds of really old hard caramel things that are still given out around here). Adding insult to injury, they refused to accept apples or cans of full-sugar soda, which made up 75% of the weight in the first place! I understand why, but those apples are generally turned into a pie or cake a few days after Halloween, because we clearly all need more sugar! Or because they're mostly Macintosh and I don't like them nearly as much as whatever I currently have in my fridge. They make great cider and good apple cake and decent pies, but snacking? No thank you.

[@Ellie-qq9zm]

My neurologist told me I had the most sensitive ability to detect the 2 points that he’d ever seen in his time as a physician. Apparently I could discriminate the 2 points even when they were extremely close together, like millimeters apart. I guess I get brownie points for that 😂

[@talithasuya8908]

Show off.

[@wisteria3032]

you get 2 brownie points - but only if you can distinguish them

[@Uufda651]

My dad's had a few neurologists over the years. The one he has now is the head of the Neuro department and Dad still says stuff like "are you sure?" Like, Dad, your degree is in World History and International Business. Shut up and do what the expert says. The doc is actually really patient though and walks Dad through his thought process and explains it really clearly. One of his old doctors was an old army dude and when Dad would try to argue he'd just immediately and ruthlessly shut him down. Like Dad would be like "what about -" and the guy would cut him off and be like "No." Without further explanation.

[@whynotjustmyusername]

To be honest, I don't mind patients asking me whether I'm sure. I'm the expert, but I'm not immune from overlooking something or forgetting a detail that might matter. I also usually don't mind if patients have done some research before and tell me of their worries. I myself am a bit of a hypochondriac, chronic med student's disease, as Dr Schmidt aptly described it, and I much rather have them tell me their absurd suspicion so I can properly explain why it is not that (or, in some cases even do another test to actually be sure it's not that) rather than them walking out unsure and doubtful of my competence. You know why? Because I do the same all the time, even though I have some more experience where to look up symptoms properly. If a colleague was to tell me that my own suspicion was nonsense without explaining why, I wouldn't trust them to know how to actually tell if my suspicion is correct. What is annoying though, is when they insist on their layman's "diagnosis" or when their research wandered off into the pseudoscientific realm and they come walking in with some weird "energy flux" or want "orgon therapy" or some nonsense like this. Those are not the majority of people though.

[@Uufda651]

@@whynotjustmyusername no it's more of a denial for the sake of pride thing. He's a Boomer/Gen X cusper. So the doctors would be like "you need [piece of medical equipment]" and Dad's like "what if... I just sucked it up?" and the Dr is like "??? no you need this to function" and Dad would be like "are you SURE I can't just walk [symptom of degenerative disease] off?" and then my mom gives him The Look™

[@whynotjustmyusername]

@@Uufda651 Sure, those exist, too, but still, I don't mind them asking. If they leave my clinic with that "are you SURE I can't just walk [symptom of degenerative disease] off?" unanswered, they will eventually just stop taking the medication because they were not properly explained that and why they can't just walk it off.

[@Uufda651]

@@whynotjustmyusername yeah... So Dad was hospitalized and in acute physical rehab for a severe infection for like a month and had two surgeries and home OT/PT. A bit after coming home, he was worsening, so he and Mom headed back in. They said they'd give him antibiotics.
