Do these frames make me look fat??
I don't know how my glasses got scratched?? (As she pulls them from the bottom of her purse without a case)
These frames keep breaking...
Do you keep them in a case?
No I keep them in my pocket..
These lenses keep scratching....
How do you clean them..
I clean them the way YOU told me...
"do you take my insurance?"
"no I am sorry we do not"
"Do you know who does?"
"no I am sorry I do not."
"okay do you know what they cover?"
"no since we are not providers I do not know"
"Could you call them and find out for me?"
""no!!!"
That is one of the questions that still bothers me.
And then there's this gem: "what all insurances do y'all take?" "If you have a few minutes I can list them all alphabetically for you OR you can just tell me what you have and I can tell you if we are a provider." I swear I get asked this question once a week. I've even been asked this on multiple occasions by the same person.

I still think the number one stupid question of all time is, "What does my insurance cover?"
Ummmm....
...... It's YOUR insurance!!!!!!!
I figured I would finish that sentence for you! :)

Actually I saw a survey (DNA checked) and in white suburban middle to upper class neighborhoods either two or three out of five children were calling the wrong man daddy.

Of course in some neighborhoods it was a rareity for the kids to have anyone at all to call daddy.

Is there a way to file, where the patient gets the reimbursement? In our office, we don't take any insurance (yay!), but plenty of our patients have coverage (and the frequently ask us all the same questions above, which we can never answer because we don't take insurance!!). There's a few that we can file electronically, on behalf of the patient, but the insurance cuts a check to them, not to us.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
I had a patient in today that needed new contacts. Not a big deal I just needed the rx. She knew the name of the Dr's office and knew where it was but had no idea what the phone number was. Instead of calling information I just googled it on my phone. No big deal I do it all the time and I find it easier. The page loaded and the patient asked "Weere you able to pull my information up?" I had to explain that no I could not look her up information on my phone but I was looking for the phone number of her Dr's office.
Her Rx was more then 5 years expired by the way. facepalm
Happy: Nope 35-40%. Appearently suburban wives are happier than we think.
Link to the survey?

Yeah, I don't believe it.
I did find an article that says about 30% of the time DNA tests for paternity are requested the supposed father really isn't the father. From this the article says that up to 30% of fathers are fathering children that aren't theirs. I don't think their logic is correct here.
Now for the rest of the story. I had circut cleark in from a county south of here in yesterday that said they have an entire day each week in court there for people trying to get paternity certification (wanting child support of course). He said some women have been in there up to five different times over the same child claiming a different possible father.

I read where a woman got on a TV show (Maury, I think) and she dragged guys there for several different shows, sure each time she got the actual father. I think they tested around ten guys, all of whom were not the father.

It's possible that the number is so high because of divorce and remarriage. The man these kids call "Daddy" may actually be a step-dad. My dad left my mom while she was pregnant with me, and she remarried when I was about 20 months old. He's the only "Daddy" I've ever known. . . It's not so much they're calling the wrong man daddy, but just that their dad isn't their father. But yeah, they're fortunate to have someone to call daddy at all. 8^/
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
Strider: I think this article just referred to children of fathers that had no clue that redheaded kid wasn't thiers in white middle class suberbia.
Okay, got'cha. Thanks for the clarification (now that everyone knows my life story. . .) ;)
