I’ve been having symptoms of what i believe is schizophrenia or maybe its just terrible anxiety??
Anyway its been like this for years and im sick of living in denial. I’ve tried counseling on and off and it does absolutely nothing for me. I’m ready to try the medication route im just having trouble understanding which doctor i need to call and make an appointment with, can i call just a regular doctor or does it need to be someone who specializes in something specific?

I called to set up an appointment for an "annual physical". They said if I had any health complaints they’d have to be discussed in a separate appointment? What is an annual if it isn’t to report your health concerns to your doctor?
I think they want to be able to bill the insurance separately for things. Like they want to say the insurance won’t pay for a "complaint visit" and an "annual visit". I really think it’s a ploy to get me in there multiple times for more $$. I don’t have time for that nonsense.

I want to get off of ambien and sleep aids all together, but when I try to do it myself, I get extremely sick and can’t stop shaking and vomiting. If I make an appointment with my doctor, what can he do for me? I dont feel that my problem is big enough for "rehab", but I definitely know that I need some sort of intervention.

I had my first appointment with a psychiatrist yesterday about an eating problem, and when I was talking about one experience I had when i was very ill he said that most likely I was deficient in protein. But I thought this was extremely rare in the developed world…

Hi, I took a friend to an appointment yesterday at an insurance office and asked the women there if they knew of any work at home jobs available. They really didn’t know of anything specific, but one woman had a friend who’s husband is a P.A. and was up real late at night typing. She assumed he was typing medical transcripts…anyway, she asked me if I was interested and I definitely am, but now I’m wondering if you HAVE to take classes to do this work. I have seen sites that require college training so I wasn’t sure. Thanks for any responses!

I have this little bump on the shaft of my penis. It is skin colored. I have had my family doctor look at it and they say it is nothing. However, I don’t like visually how it looks and am very self conscious of it. I am always very hesitant to go to a doctor. What doctor should I go to for this? A dermatologist? What should I say my concern is when scheduling an appointment. I am embarrassed to deal with this. What are my options?

I know that I have social anxiety disorder, I just don’t know how to go about getting help for it. I am almost positive I need medication to help me cope. How do I find a doctor and make an appointment?

I am a teen and when i tell people i have graves disease they never know what it is. Like yesterday, I went for an appointment and my crush asked my friends where I was and the dears they are told him I was at the hospital! And I didn’t know how to explain to him my condition. Thanks in advance!

Constipation states yesterday. Much more than I’ve ever been. Very little made its way out. Today absolutely nothing has come out. How long should I go before seeing a doctor?

I should also note that the problem isn’t getting it to move, but getting it out the exit. It feels too small. My urine is also very orange. I guess I have to drink more.

When should I make an appointment with my GI doctor? It will probably take three days to get in.

To those in the medical transcription field — A guy at work here just told me that the doctors at the office he goes to all use laptops — they carry them from one appointment in the office to the next, and then type in all they need into a program in the laptop. The doctor told him they don’t even use transcribers any more. Do you, as a transcriber, have any experiences with doctors opting for this and getting rid of transcriptionists?
