I’m curious if this is a nationwide thing but here in WA we have switched over from annual to biennial renewals and the DOH has snuck in yet another increase in the annual renewal rate— now charging over 500 dollars for a 2 year renewal period (that’s without a late fee!) Am I taking crazy pills? Di

Personally, I loved Cerner & Powerchart, but it doesn't seem like many people do. We had an extremely optimized Cerner with proper IT to build ordersets. I miss being able to do whatever the fuck I wanted with an order and Powerchart. I'm currently working with a base model of Epic with hardly a

He's been to a few different doctors 7 times now. He's almost 2 years old and this just won't go away. It starts to improve and then flares back up again. I'm constantly told they don't know what's causing it. It's painful for him and I'd love to figure out how to fix this. He's currently on cli

Hey all, I'm an 18-year-old male with a dermatitis-looking rash on my chin. I've had it since mid-March 2020 and been told it looks like impetigo, perioral dermatitis, some type of fungal infection, etc. I've been to 3 dermatologists so far. 1st one from May-June, 2nd one from June-August, and now I

My new work location does not cover the punctured end o

Hello, does anyone here understand the reasoning behind Clindamycin HCL being the oral formulation and Clindamycin Phosphate being the IV? I know that solubility plays a role, but does a decreased solubility in the GI tract affect absorption? Thanks!

Has anyone else been getting unusual rejects from Medicare (not Medicaid)? Today, I had 3 claims reject because the manufacturer had not “registered” the particular medication with Medicare. I’ve seen these with MediCAID, but never for MediCARE. I also received a “not covered due to patient age” on
