Got this shoulder pain, thats keeping me awake at night and i wanted to get something for it, get it checked out.... Also, have had some GI problems all week, headache, slight chills but no fever. Wife has had same, but slight fever. So, i tell them i want to be tested for flu.

Receptionist tells me, "well they probably wont test you for flu...nothing they can really do". Nurse tells me the same thing...PA finally comes in, kind of seems to think im BS, tells me the same thing, but then says, "Ok we will test you."

They swab me(that sucks), 15 minute later, he comes back in, well you got the Flu. No work, stay home, yadda yadda yadda. So im like, what the fug, you didnt even want to test me, cause you cant do anything, but now you want me to avoid everyone....see anything wrong with this picture??

He writes me some Tamiflu, then asks "What else?" Umm yeah, my freaking shoulder....duh.

This stupidness was strong. If this is they way they are trying to handle the flu...its going to be a long winter. If they dont test people that are symptomatic, they cant tell them to stay home...I was like, so, if you guys didnt test me, and im walking around sick, spreading it because i cant justify taking off work, because you havent diagnosed me....and so on.

Hope Obamacare is better....bwbwhahah

Your problem is that you went to "Urgent Care". Most of those docs got their PHD's online!

Id rather die than sit int eh ER for 10 hours. Guess where the spouse is right now...CMC ER.

i never saw a Dr. lol

just a PA.

Gave me some tramadol and Skelaxin for my shoulder...guess what.

Feels the same as before....

Classic stupidity by the PA.... I highly doubt you need Tamiflu, it does not cure the flu and only shortens the symptoms. If you're outside the 48hour of symptoms window then it is as useful as a sugar pill. Not only is there a shortage of tamiflu, it is in situations of giving it when not indicated that sets up for resistance. As of now Tamiflu should be indicated for the pediatric, geriatric population and adults who have comorbidities like COPD, DM. You should have been given treatment for symptomatic therapy, a note for work and asked to stay home for a week.

he seems to think im at the begging of this. I dont.

and he gave me tramadol which is as useful as a sugar pill...after the movements he made me do with my arm, my pain is worse.

I dont need a note for work...i just tell my boss. Had a huge week planned. If i dont feel any worse monday, im working...i never miss work from being sick.

I dont even have a cough. Just felt a little off. With a headache.

Well they certainly did not address your shoulder pain.... a good physical exam looking for a possible rotator cuff tear along with imaging would be a nice start

Tramadol's are weak but at the same time he played it safe rather than going straight to Lortab.

I would check your temperature, if your able to be afebrile for 24 hours without any antipyretics like Tylenol then it would be safe to return to work imo.

actually its not in the joint. Its behind my shoulderblade. Who knows. Its gonna be hard to pinpoint. They took an Xray, which i could have told them wasnt going to show anything. It wasnt freaking broken...duh. I had no injury. Ive had this before and it usually gets better on its on...and hasnt ever kept me up at night like it is now.

Ive yet to have any fever. Its weird. Is ibuprofen antipyretic? Im guessing it is. Im taking that for my shoulder too

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
