I agree with you 100%. But I also realize that it may not be that easy for some or a few. Doctors are busy. Hospitals are miles away. There are 100 excuses and reasons. Has anyone enlisted a Nurse Practioner to manage their personal healthcare vs a medical doctor? Seems like there are more NP than doctors that are regularly available. Nurse Practioner can often be just as effect as a primary doctor for the simple things. Also, when in doubt, call the ER or Prompt Response clinics and ask.

It really amazes me at the number of people who write to this list asking for medical advice or if they should go to the doctor to get something checked out. As helpful as everyone on this list tries to be, I don't think anyone here can offer real medical advice to someone without knowing their medical history or the severity of the medical issue in question. Maybe it's just me, but if ANYTHING is out of the ordinary for me, I call the doctor's office and schedule an appointment, unless of course, I need to go to emergency. I would think that after most of what us quads have been through, we should not hesitate to get medical attention. It could mean the difference between life and death. If it isn't anything that severe, at least we've had it checked out and know what's going on. At least that's my two cents worth. **************Need a new ride?
