Non-stop coughing

[binö]

It's not looking much better for seniors in the US given that medicare just took a 27% cut in payout. Nobody is going to be able to see a large portion of those patients and keep the doors open. Maybe brownbrown will have a solution (the ef guy, knot barry)

i thought that was stabilized with the payroll tax cut, it was funded in the same bill right?

I dunno. If so, payroll bill was signed after my post

I am familiar with the Canadian health care system. My apologies for missing that detail. For a cough of that duration something as fundamental as a chest X-ray seems logical.

Is there a public record of some kind of treatment algorithm?

LOL no nothing on public record at all it depends on the Dr. treating you.

I had to go to a Dr. twice last year when I sprained my ankle to get them to do an xray. I was going to walkins at the time they didn't even call me to say there was no break. When I got the xray the said if there is something wrong we will call right away.

I have a family Dr. now and even she wont call me unless something is off. She is a bit more willing to do blood tests then any walkin Dr's I have had.

I would assume they used the Ottawa Ankle rules. Not every ankle sprain warrants an X-ray. We use the Ottawa ankle rules down here in 'Murica too. They're handy.
