...or better yet, weekends or anytime in the late morning or early afternoon during the week... Weekday mornings are a little stressful especially now that she's about to formally set things up and needs to iron out background/security checks, etc.

KidMD it is still symantics. If the shot makes you not feel well for awhile it makes you not feel well. You may not consider it sick based on how you categorize it (you feel correctly) others may call it sick. They feel sick.

That is my only point. Too many docs do exactly what you are doing..... forget about lay language and hang their hat on their superior knowledge base. They also hate when someone thinks they may be wrong. It's a god complex thing at times.

Perception means something. Don't forget that. I'm actually with you on the facts and the science of it, but if you ever tell someone they are not sick (based on your set of criteria) and they feel sick don't wonder why you don't see them again. It's nothing more than managing perception.

In reality, the shot does make some folks "feel" sick. If they tell you it does, it does (or some other coincidental variable at times). It is not complicated.

I head that if the shot makes you feel sick and you go back to the doctor, they tell you're not really sick and don't charge you for the visit.

I heard that too. I also heard a cut in the growth of expenditures is still a cut.

No, that is not a cut. It is a reduction in gains. Like making 4% interest instead of 5% on a CD.

As a matter of fact....Yes I do this, tell them it is a side effect and there is no charge from my office...I have had several so far this year...

The funny part is the protections big pharma enjoy are the very same protections many are proposing as a way to curb health care costs in general.
