Thanks for finally getting to the most accurate answer. Could have saved some bandwidth by doing it earlier, but as as Freak's buying. ;)

One kid in my high school class was honored with perfect attendance from K through 12. He and I were in school together for 13 years. I, on the other hand, made liberal and judicious use of my sick days.

I missed 3 days from k - 12. My wife was more like you.
We fought many battles over when our kids should stay home. In hindsight, she was almost always right.
There are routinely students who are sent to school that should have stayed home. It is usually because the parents had to get to work and they had no good alternative. It ultimately leads to more kids getting sick and more overall days being missed.

I ruined my perfect attendance record in 5th grade when we had a Saturday makeup day and I "forgot" to attend. After that I figured what's the use....

I don't know, if I am going to go out on a limb and discuss the career of someone who is a shining example to kids by his dedication to his sport and his legacy, I think I'd be quoting something other than my BS opinion. Although that seems to be what you are good at doing. Just toss something out there and see if it sticks.

P.S. We don't care what you give us credit for, your credit is worthless.

No, the generation raised to believe that there is no virtue in being the best and that even the wrong answer is right because feelings are more important than achievement.

What an ignorant comment.

Actually examining patients is terribly overrated. With Google and Tic Toc, you can pretty much figure everything out for yourself, anyway. I can't think of a single time that a patient came in thinking one thing and it ended up being something totally different, or even something far more serious and potentially life-threatening. Honestly, we should also just make all prescription meds available OTC like they are in Mexico.

Maybe not everything but I don't see why most things couldn't be.

He was a great player who did many admirable things. Playing when the team would have been better off with him on the bench is just not one of those things.

During his streak Ripken led the MLB in total bases, RBI, was second in doubles to Wade Boggs, and second in hits behind Tony Gwynn. He had a WRC of 114, meaning for the duration he was a better than average hitter. He's fourth all time in defensive WAR. He was an excellent player on a very mediocre to bad team. No one will ever break his streak. This is such a weirdly specific thing to have a hot take about, but again as you two seem content with each other it's not a surprise.

agreed. we could offload a lot of scripts to OTC or pharmacist dispensed.

Way to make yourself obsolete, doc.

Agree to disagree, I guess.

Ex: the judicious use of antibiotics is important in combating the development of drug-resistant infections and preventing such opportunistic infections as C diff. Most everything I prescribe has potential side effects, some serious, and I avoid over-prescribing when a non-medicinal treatment is an option. I know that isn't the case with all providers/clinics/ERs.

I'm at the office between calls. Come back after 6 I'm rarely on then, doing all the work I can't do at the office.

It won't obsolete docs by any stretch but it would certainly free them up to spend more time with patients that might need it. You could provide value care instead of a treadmill where every sniffle and stomach ache requires a doctor's attention.

IMO if anything should be by prescription only it is antibiotics.

Yeah but he was only able to do that by playing when he was sick and was obviously hurting the team with all of that offense production dammit!

Its great. You get a sinus infection, simply walk into the pharmacy, tell the clerk what you want, $20 USD / 300 pesos and you got a whole bottle.

To get the same medicine in the US, you gotta set up an appointment. Doc gets you in if he/she is not on vacation, mayyyyybe you get an appointment before you get better anyway, but then the doc bills your insurance company for hundreds of dollars just to prescribe you the same damn thing you coulda bought yourself in Mexico.
