A. I've been to Thailand twice and love it there! I'm planning on getting some major dental work done there next year. It's estimated at US $4000+ here. I'm still researching to find a dentist there and get an estimate.

Do people realize how much money we could save on healthcare if we would reform the way we license doctors?
Q. Sorry about the length... I promise it is worth the read! *** Besides paying some of the highest prices for health care, we have the dubious distinction of having the most heavily regulated healthcare system in the world. In no other country on earth are doctors and hospitals subjected to as many oversight and enforcement agencies, bureaus and commissions. Rules, regulations, and laws are duplicated, redundant, multiplied, magnified, and contradictory. Laws and regulations covering doctors and hospitals plus all the other parts of our healthcare system now account for over half of all the words, sentences, and paragraphs in our entire body of law. If regulations could make a healthcare system work better, ours would surely be perfect.… [cont.]

A. I don't know much about medicine, that much I confess. I do know that government involvement in it has not improved it since the start of Medicare. The improvements since that time are in spite of government involvement. As far as the AMA, I know nothing of their structure, but the government shouldn't be granting them any kind of monopoly. Maybe they could still exist and do something without government blessing, but if they can't, I'm inclined to think we're better off without them. Now, the American Bar Association is another matter. They do NOT need to be given input over Law Schools, requirements to take the Bar, or selection of judges at ANY level. Law would improve greatly as a profession if it were moved closer to a… [cont.]

A. Here are some thoughts, though you should check your text or notes to be sure. 4. As a transcriptionist, your most important skill is A. the ability to type quickly B. proficiency C. the ability to accurately use reference materials D. the ability to understand and analyze the dictation You said D, but a transcriptionist has no real need to understand what the physician or surgeon is discussing to provide a proper transcription, and they certainly have no need to analyze the information. A more likely answer would be B. proficiency. A is wrong as typing quickly is only a plus if the information is correct. 7.

If a doctor is not a member of the AMA, is he still a good doctor?
Q. I have an orthopedic surgeon with questionable treatment standards and I'm starting to look at his history a bit closer. I went to him on the recommendation of my hand surgeon from another practice because they didn't have a foot/ankle specialist which is what I needed for some extensive surgery. Everything seemed fine until AFTER the surgery when I was told I wouldn't see a doctor at all for 6 weeks - not even in the hospital. Then there were other complications. It was a mess. Anyway, the fellow seems to have jumped around between four different states after graduating in 2001 with a self-designated specialty of orthopedic surgery. If he finished med school in 1997 and his specialty in 06/2001, why was he not licensed at all until 03/20 [cont.]

A. If he is Board Certified that is a good thing. I'm a physical therapist and I do see cases where patients don't see the surgeon for 6 week after surgery. They go back and have the stitches taken out after about 12 days then may follow up with the doctor 4 weeks after that. Any chance that when you went back for the weekly cast changes you saw a PA (physician's assistant). If I'm not mistaken they bill under the MD and your visits would have counted and billed as an MD visit. That PA may have even assisted with your surgery and you not know about it. As far as him moving around, that does not mean much. He may have just fulfilled a 1 year contract at each location and moved on to other or better opportunities. Sometimes the best surgeons… [cont.]
