    Shortly before my mom passed away, she was in the hospital for an emergency situation which caused her a lot of excruciating pain. My mom wasnt one to whine and complain but at the time she had tears coming down her cheeks. So my sister went to the nurses station to let them know. There were 3 nurses hovering around and laughing and my sister said Mom needed something for her pain. She was told they had to let the doctor know. So about 20 more minutes went by and no follow-up whatsoever. So I went to the nurses station (Which was across the hall from Mom). These nurses were still nonchalantly giging and acted annoyed when I interrupted their little gab session. By then I was pissed off and asked them who was in charge of this funhouse. It got at least one of them to respond and another half hour went by because the doctor in charge of Mom's care had to order pain medication for Mom's IV. There's no excuse for this and that was almost 15 years ago. I agree that customer service has gone down the toilet and most medical personnel are very lax in their profession. This definitely needs to stop 🛑.

      My hubby was hit by a car going 60mph 23 years ago and I remember him being in excruciating pain at the hospital and this one nasty nurse said to us "less is more!!" It took forever to get him those meds. The guy next to him had lost his foot and leg up to his knee in a motorcycle accident and he too needed meds and she denied him. He and his family didn't like her either. We started calling her Nurse Ratchet!! Smh!!

    Please, please! Don't go thru therapy until after the MRI!! My late husband had torn ligaments, and 2 months of therapy made it MUCH worse! He ended up having to have major surgery. Even after the MRI, they didn't know just how bad it was until they went in. They had hoped for orthoscopic surgery but ended up having to cut him almost entirely around his arm/ shoulder to get to his rotary cup, which had 3 torn ligaments and bone spurs. I'm not telling you this to scare you. I just want you to be careful because as you say all the time... it's profit over people these days. And I agree with that statement. ❤

Then they actually wait for me to tell them what I need from them in order to get any help. I do not know if this happens in your state, but the State of Minnesota it happens all of the time, since they implemented DEI hiring in this state when Biden took over. The federal offices are even worse, you can have ten windows, but only one open even though there are people in each and every window. I have got in touch with the Trump team, and this is one huge thing we are going to fix; they will be using undercover Opps to detail the horrible customer service in each and every Federal office. I am currently in the prospect of getting this same thing done in Minnesota. In every case weather, private or government business, they must be incredible customer service. I was trying to do a short version, but I guess you needed the long version. Take care.

    Hey, retired RN here. I am so disappointed with our health care and insurance benefits. Things have changed so much from my "working days"
    Not that I am a physical therapist or heaven forbid a physician but this is how I avoided extra cost after my knee surgery.
    I looked on yt for exercises to do following surgery. I did remarkably well. Now just know doing exercises improperly can cause harm. So approach with caution.
    For deodorant,Lume is the best I can miss a day and never notice. It is costly but normally I can skip a day without consequences. Also if using the cream, which I love and never believed I would, it takes such a small amount. When I got the stick it was gone in no time. Try the cream,I believe it is sold at Target. The tangerine is my favorite

They can also refuse to cover tests your doctors order and if you want to have the test you have to sign a waiver stating you will pay for the test. What really sucks is you have no choice you have to sign up for Medicare at 65yrs old. HAVE TO NOT CHOSE TO HAVE TO.

New nurse practitioner sent him to physical therapy, pain management snd made sure he had all he needed. But she is rare!

I have no medical degree, but my kids called me Dr.Daddy cause I always took care of them when they felt bad. And 40 years ago(when I was younger)a foot Doctor told me I could play vollyball again in 3 weeks after a strain. I carefully tested my foot after 3 weeks and it still hurt so I waited about 6 months and was ready to jump, play, healed, etc.
    For Kevin try the common sense stuff you have heard of. Hot showers on it, some of that rub on cream, limited movement, any youtube advise that sounds like the same problem. Give it 3 days(there is a 3 day thing) and re-evaluate from there.

    Michelle,
    I heard you mention that, Kevin may not wanna go back to Physical Therapy.
    With that being said, my husband had the VERY same thing as what your husband has. The doctors gave him a steroid packet to take at home and also a steroid he had a steroid injection in his shoulder.
    My husband, did not want to go to Physical Therapy either due to his pain subsiding from the meds.
    About 2 weeks (AFTER) taking his meds, he began to feel that same pain come back...long story short, he then needed shoulder surgery. His Doctor told him the reason they scheduled physical therapy, was to build back up the strength in his arm. They Massage the arm first to see where's he's at with pain level then they slowly repair the strength back. Well my husband never went back and went to lift something one day and he ruptured his bicep .
    Now when he wears a muscle shirt, his one arm looks like (stretched out taffy) as his bicep is push all the way up by his shoulder. Unfortunately it's like that for life. I think all he says he did is lift one end of a flat screen tv and there went his bicep.
    They SHOULD of already taken an MRI of Kevin's shoulder and sent the results to the Physical Therapy, so they are away of what their working with. I would just hate to see what happened to my husband, happen to Kevin. ❤🙏

    Michelle, as a retired RN, don't let your husband ignore this, he could be sorry later in life and definitely need surgery, which is a hard recovery time. After all you said about THAT office, you should have went in back and grabbed Kevin AND got the hell out of there!!! There was absolutely no excuse for their behaviors!!! You need to write a review on this office so others are aware🥴😆. Do research on other orthopedics, try to get word of mouth. Where I live , the health care providers for my area, are only interested in the money they can get from you!!! So after researching online, had to drive 2 hours for a doctor! BUT praise the Lord, it was worth every minute of it☺️🥰. Today, you have to super advocate for yourself!!! Remember, if something don't feel right, IT probably isn't. Love you and your channel!!! Good luck!!!

    Where I live most doctors don’t do paperwork. They hand 80 year old Mr Shoemacher an IPAD tablet and tell him to register. His eyes glass over and he has no clue how to register digitally. Those cute little 18 years olds in scrubs just sit there not offering any help to Old Mr Shoemacher I have seen this many times and usually offer to help but get nervous because of confidentiality issues. There is no such thing as customer service anymore.

    I’m a grandmother in my late 60’s and my advise to you is to be your own advocate. As the wife I would go to all his appointments and even bring a small notebook to take notes. My daughter is a physical therapist and she would have you rest his arm and ice it several times a day. Anti inflammatory for something like this would be ibuprofen or Advil. Same daughter had knee problems and she took 800 mg three times a day. We used otc instead of a prescription, but check with your doctor or pharmacist. Sounds like your hubby is on the mend which is great.

    Don't be surprised if insurance won't cover an MRI until after he has done physucal therapy. A few years ago, i had knee pain and was sent to PT for six weeks. Each PT appointment created more pain than the last. Finally, an MRI was approved by insurance and had severe tears in my meniscus. The orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist both said that the PT worsened the original problem. If an MRI had initially been performed, my injury would have been resolved much quicker and posdibly without surgery. Hang in there!

    I feel ya, Michelle and Amen! I feel the same way. I also had my first appointment with a pain management doctor because my main doctor is retiring this year. I have severe pain from rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, Crohn's,prior broken bones,issues from cancer treatments as a survivor, etc....
    I also have major anxiety & panic attacks. Been on 2 medications
    for over 22yrs to treat these conditions and it makes life tolerable,never any negative issues or abuse of meds etc.. The doctor walks in at my 8am appointment, just says hi, no intro,shake hands, how ya doing,nothing. She just said we'll, I know you are in pain but I don't perscribe any pain meds other than Lyrica or Cymbalta and I see you had a severe reaction to those so I don't know what I can do for you.....and I will not give you anything since you take anxiety meds anyways. So I'm like, we'll what am I to do? She's like I guess you'll have to talk to your other doctors. Let them figure it out before they retire, but I can't help you, and that was it!!" Boom, Bang! I sat in the car and cried afterward. Healthcare has gone to crap in this country in so many ways. One doctor sends ya to another,then that one to another,you call leave messages & no one calls back for days. Or my favorite...."We can't see you for an appointment for 6-8 weeks, so go to the ER or an Urgent care until we can."😮
    I do pray Kevin gets better with his shoulder and he can get the MRI done as soon as he can. I just had to wait 2wks for an ASAP ordered MRI to see what the mass is in my RH arm. Had it done this week,still no call with results. Just ridiculous. And kindness & Care/Concern is FREE so I wish office workers would display it more often, it can change a person's day sometimes.
    Blessings your way ❤

      I have postponed rotator cuff surgery for 2 years because I was caring for my husband. It actually tore during pt-everyone heard it pop. I won’t go back there. So fast forward and I’m now recovering from a total knee replacement surgery. It’s been very rough but the pt has been helping. On the flip side I’ve decided not to have the rotator cuff replacement. For one it’s a 4-6 month recovery. I decided if it has taken me so long to heal from the knee I just don’t think I can do the shoulder. I’m older which I hate but the reality is I don’t want to go thru all that at my age. I’d rather just deal with it. 😢

But I think what happened to you may have been what I experienced. I didn't sweat or stink under my arms... especially my right pit - it NEVER smelled! After using aluminum free deod for a few weeks, I had the same, 'I STINK!' moment! I tried other aluminum free brands (I bought a few different ones on Amazon) until I found one that worked for 24 hours. BUT... what I realized was that the crappy deodorants had actually clogged my sweat glands... You are SUPPOSED to sweat under your arms!! After a couple months, my right pit also started to smell. That is a GOOD thing... you just have to find a natural deodorant that will stop the odor, but NOT clot those sweat glands!! Please don't use crappy deod any more!!!

    That deodorant makes me smell like a skunk! Dr Dray, a board certified dermatologist with a TH-cam channel, says antiperspirants with aluminum do not cause cancer. I’m not willing to smell like a skunk; I’m wearing antiperspirant!
    I completely understand why you would not want to go back there. However, I would call up and ask for the office manager and complain about the rude front desk staff. They may not know what is going on. Please call back and ask if they can make the MRI appointment and at least get that done. If there is damage, it will only get worse. The sooner a problem is corrected, the easier it will be on Kevin. I would encourage Kevin to go in for the results and then he can go elsewhere if the results warrants further treatment. And do NOT do any therapy until you get the results. If you make a new appointment, tell them you already had an MRI and ask them to request those results so you don’t have to pay for another MRI. Kevin might have to go by and sign a release form, but it has been my experience that if I ask for the results to be sent to new doctor, I have to pay for the results. But if the new doctor asks for it, it is sent at no cost as a courtesy to the doctor. I hope no problem is found!
