@FedExHelp I have a door tag that was left - I have downloaded your app scanned it- I have fought through the auto system to try to track- I have called customer service- all systems say “it doesn’t exist” Customer service rep refused to transfer me to a supervisor- really?

@ezmirellda @DanLairdMD Once reps trained themselves& able to deviate from script they left Hospitals also wrong calling CS reps the billing dept when they are not BILLING that takes 2 yrs of school-coders &billing are often 3rd party & patients cannot get access to discussion real errors - ALWYS ck EOB
English

@DanLairdMD One could assemble an army out of “Customerservice” agents. They fight as if every single penny comes out of their babies milk money. Concept: A company that you pay for not getting what you need, sometimes to live. You pay that debaters salary.

@ezmirellda @DanLairdMD @ezmirellda pls don’t be so hard on the reps. Used to be a CS rep for hospital. Some CS reps are not trained completely on purpose - the company I worked for hid the EOB on @EPICEMRparody and could only see the bill they printed out & not the EOB to check WRONG! On so many levels

@pash22 @bmj_latest His mental health and his Physique took a hit with months of isolation and no sun but he never felt a symptom or tested positive as of yet - he said about 4 guys who were not close together were testing negative with no symptoms also

@pash22 @bmj_latest I do not know that answer-My son is incarcerated-over 266 confirmed cases in his unit locked dwn to avoid spread. He said his cell mate was ill with Covid & got moved. Guys all around him really sick & testing positive. He has tested negative 5 times with no symptoms & 1 mask

@RuthTapsell Almost 8 years now. I find the diet enjoyable, satiating, inexpensive and easily sustainable. It has reduced my insulin requirements and greatly assists me to maintain stable blood glucose, despite T1D, which makes everything easier, including work and exercise.

@topologic_apple @RuthTapsell I don’t understand how low carb is not sustainable long term. It’s so simple and basic and everything is easy to find.
English

@RuthTapsell Never understood how is low carb not sustainable... its not like you need to eat the same every day and all my favorite foods are ok. But I guess eating junk, industrial food becomes harder indeed, so if you only visit the frozen aisle in the supermkt maybe it does become harder.
English

As a GP I find #lowcarb to be a VERY effective approach to helping pts with T2D/weight gain.
However, trying to convince my 2ndry care colleagues it's sustainable is not so easy.
Has anyone managed to keep it up for a year or more? 🧐
If so, how long?
Any plans to quit?
🙏

@andrew_dowd @ProfTimNoakes @RuthTapsell Mission Carb Balance Tortillas- amazing the variety of things you can make with them they rock!!ALDI NET ZERO bread and some others out there. 2 Ingredient Chaffles if you feel like making something
English

@ProfTimNoakes @RuthTapsell How do you get over the loss of texture? I love low carb food but I miss the mouth-feel of bread, pasta and rice. I haven’t yet found a decent textural replacement

@keepitrealrn Not my photo-I just took this same scenario down from my car mirror because I was able to get new PPE- when I couldn’t, I told myself the sunlight killed the germs 🤪and good to reuse

@TheMelissaD @Gabapentin_Awar @DeprescribeNet @DrEmilyMcD @Drug_Evidence @OptimisingRxUse How do you cut the dosage more finely than proposed? Do you need to micro-cut the tablets?

@DrWinarick PT are suffering & many are left unsupported through this process for doing absolutely nothing wrong but trusting. Perhaps listen-why it’s such a common topic for patients to speak out about Specially because there is “crickets” for evidence on dependence & long term evidence
English

I’ll be honest. I’m sick of the benzo bashing on #psychtwitter.
English

@DrWinarick tired of PT who followed Dr orders, trusted Dr & took their meds “as prescribed” speaking out because of tolerance, dependence & withdrawal that caused life changing side symptoms & withdrawal that lasted yrs for some?Asking for more evidence on topic to support would be prudent
English

@askpanera I honestly enjoy going to Panera for coffee the outside seating or drive up option work really well. Would like to request a few low carb options if possible- some of us simply cannot eat most of what’s on your menu.

@PlanetJanice @islandgirl2mom People have been noticing the same daily - Covid is either neurotoxic, inflammation or neurotransmitters, or ADR from meds -
English

@AnathemaBloomer @Carisma015 @AnthonyBLSmith @miacantdraw Dunno, that’s what people are reporting I also do medical debt collecting and people fighting claims with insurance are being sent to debt collectors & that’s why they say they have not paid because of the dispute
