Becoming Mrs. Pediatric PA

Welcome to my page. I'm Mrs. Pediatric PA and I am an aspiring Pediatric Physician Assistant. I recently got accepted into a PA school and am officially a part of the Class of 2021. I'm also getting married in August 2019!! I've had to tweak my dreams a bit, but I've always known I wanted to be in the medical field. I'm about to take some pretty big steps in my life that I've been dreaming about for years; and I can't believe that my dreams are finally coming to fruition. This is my story and how I am going to persevere and not stop until I am Mrs. Pediatric PA! PS: Even though I may post tales of my encounters with patients, I will remove any necessary identifying information in order to protect their privacy and mine. HIPAA is for real (wo)man!

You knew it was over long before you left, but leaving takes a different kind of strength. I’m not just proud of you, I’m inspired by your courage.

Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.

The MAIN reason I’m voting AGAINST Trump is because this guy is a legitimate THREAT to America. What do I mean? Let’s not forget he STOLE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE:

What the fuck was he going to do with those? And when you couple the fact that he kisses ass to DICTATORS:

He is NOT someone we can afford to let back into the White House.

For the sake of us NOT becoming a dictatorship, please let’s all vote blue down the board.

SO MUCH that the votes won’t be taken to the Supreme Court because they will fuck us all over for him.

I was always told that having unprotected sex would lead to pregnancy. Well either they were lying or I’m infertile.
