I don’t spend any time in a car, waiting in a doctor's office (catching germs from others..l) or waiting for an appointment. I noticed there was no option for Medicare coverage up front for the iPad call. I suppose I could submit the bill but it was only $59. <br /><br />If you’re around Ft Lauderdale over the weekend, you have a standing invitation to drop by around 5:00 for wine on Fleetwing. We’d pick you up at Las Olas.Bob423https://www.blogger.com/profile/09269810283567498286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849386655963437560.post-87251629833350889892018-04-04T13:16:17.375-04:002018-04-04T13:16:17.375-04:00Bob,

Ive been to one of their urgent care facilities here in Ft. Lauderdale a few times. Once was for kidney stone. They did an ultra sound right in their office and a Radiologist reviewed the process remotely with the sonographer in real time... asking her to change views of the kidney several times and to take measurements of the stone.... all in real time. They have the technology!<br /><br />Fred Brillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677711852400351447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849386655963437560.post-66318105465320179792018-04-03T07:40:38.230-04:002018-04-03T07:40:38.230-04:00Ken and Peigi, I had my first peaceful night for a...Ken and Peigi, I had my first peaceful night for awhile! It’s another good reason to have a tablet on board although it would work with an iPhone or Android equivalent too. It saved hours and hours of hunting down a doctor, getting transportation, sitting in an office (they are never on time), etc. I can’t imagine the prescriptions would have been any different.Bob423https://www.blogger.com/profile/09269810283567498286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849386655963437560.post-34480974903397018532018-04-03T07:11:00.660-04:002018-04-03T07:11:00.660-04:00Wow Bob, I'm sorry you're not feeling well...Wow Bob, I'm sorry you're not feeling well but given the circumstances the whole heath care event seems to have worked out very well. You're certainly correct to say that something like this can be a big help to us cruisers.<br /><br /> Get well soon, Ken and Peigi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
