HAH! I got that one a few years back from my internist. I immediately turned it on him and asked him if he had any firearms in his house (I know he does, he belongs to my sporting clays club.)
He moved on. Mrs. Dan sees a bunch of different doctors for various things. A concierge practice would be perfect for someone like her with multiple health issues, as she would actually get time to spend with a practitioner who could discuss everything in detail without being rushed or having to worry about getting to the patient in the next exam room. The one I looked at in Flagstaff was pretty reasonable, like $150/month, no copays and they took insurance and filled a lot of their own prescriptions through a deal they have with a local pharmacy. Pay that with FSA funds and consider no copays and it’s even cheaper. -D > On Aug 9, 2022, at 9:26 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > >> On a related note, I nearly got kicked out the last time I went because the >> triage nurse goes through all of these questions about “feeling centered” > > Wait until they are forced to ask if you have any firearms in the house. > > Concierge medicine is probably the way to go.
