a few questions...

March 6, 2000

I have a few questions as I know everyone does....but,

Does anyone know if there is an updated page about Carnie 's Progress? Any

Pics?

and

I am insured but have been seeing a Nurse Practitioner....RX's are written by a

doctor in house...so his name is on my file but I have never met him face to

face....Should I go see her about the MGP or should I make an appointment to

discuss it with him? Dr. R's manual says we must have a close working

relationship with our doctor....have that with (my nurse practitioner) but

not with the DR.

What would be considered " jumping the gun " ? Should I go ahead and fill out the

patient info form online....even though I haven't discussed this issue with my

NP yet?

We have discussed diet in the past...and factually she put me on the diabetic

diet at our last visit together....no surprise, I failed. So...the " weight "

issue is " on file " so to speak.

How much in advance should things like the pap spear, EKG, etc...be done? I have

not had those done in FOREVER....and I can get them done now with the new

insurance coverage....but I would hate to get it done too quickly only to find

that I have a long drawn out fight with my ins. carrier.

Do we HAVE to stay in Durham the full seven days? Since we manage a farm, we

will only get a weeks paid vacation....in a year (January 01)...so leaving for

any length of time will be iffy but I can cash in on " medical

leave " ....however...it is only FIVE days.

I guess I'll stop there.....too many questions....and I'm overly anxious.

Thanks in advance to all who read and reply.

Hi ,

I have checked on Carnie the last few days on her page, but no new pics. I

saw her on 20/20 last Fri., and what a difference!!! Very exciting!
