Genuine People

You don't see many genuinely good people anymore. Had a gentleman come in today and, to our surprise, just wanted to do something nice for his doctor and his crew. He's a peach farmer. He brought in 4 bushels of fresh peaches and a quart, yes, a quart of homemade peach icecream for each person in the office. We need more patients like that!!!!!

Stupid People.....

are everywhere. Why do they flock to doctors offices and try to lie thru their teeth (IF they even have teeth) to get medications.

If you don't think that we don't check on your story and also run medication audits on your insurance, then you're crazy. If my name is going to be on your record, I am going to be 100% sure that I have the WHOLE story, not just your version.

Ok, not involving the office but......

I Recently went to a store and saw something that I hadn't see in many years..... The Club. Yes, the People Of WalMart are apparently worried that someone will steal their beaten up old Chevy.....

Drugs Drugs Drugs

This guy comes in today with 2 back injuries in the past few months. He said he has no meds to speak of. Well the computer system says something COMPLETELY different. It says he's on hydrocodone, percocet, soma, suboxone, etc. When asked, he completely denied it. Only thing is, dude looked so freaking strung out that he couldn't even hold his head up. Pharmacy confirms name and address, and even a physical description. Your busted. Move on. No meds for you. Try to hoodwink somebody else!

The State

Ok, the state is Georgia has decided, in their infinite wisdom, that all patients who are in a formal Pain Management program must take an in- office drug screen at least 3 and maybe 4 times a year. I understand them wanting to shut down the "pill mills" that pop up with their $1 street signs posted along highway exits, but give the honest facilities a break!

Paranoia!!!!

Good grief! This guy comes in today over 30 minutes late. Why was he so late you ask???? "People are following me. They've been following me for a while.". He was in the waiting room peeping thru the blinds out to the parking lot looking for "the people".

Look out folks! We've got a live one here!!

If you've got nothing to hide...

Today I had a patient get so pissy over taking a urine drug screen. Hey Mr. Pissypants: you signed documentation agreeing that you will be subject to drug screening as part of your being in a Pain Management program. It's to make sure you are taking the meds we are giving you. If you don't want to take the piss test, have fun going thru detox and withdrawals. I know for a fact you are not taking your meds, that means you are selling it.

In the words of Donald Trump, "You're Fired!".

Bastard!
