Yeah, sometimes. All foreigners are getting grief here right now though. Like USA there's a small vocal minority that's racist. It's much worse for black people here right now. They are getting hella grief. Especially after some guy who had the virus didn't want to be treated and they were trying to force him to take some shot he didn't want and he bit the nurse. I know you've been bit more than once. A lot of Chinese were outraged at him. There's been lots of crazy stories both ways here.
First, let's not conflate letters with billing. As I've said, stating an intervention, coupled with a belief that the benefits outweigh the risks, is synonymous with one's rationalization of treatment decisions, and often written that way in the plan. When someone is asked to opine in writing on something outside the actual medical record, it's generally going to be very brief, but large enough to convey relevant context of rationale. But no, I don't write the treatment plan that way. I write it very concretely, as if it's read by the patient, because that's what I print so that there's no ambiguity [for them], because I hate the lack of specifics that are found in most notes, especially "continue current treatment." But justifying a "charge code"? Absolutely, so long as you've got the other requirements. But that's really beside the point, because this isn't a document written to be submitted to the insurance. It seems you've extrapolated your experience reading insurance documents beyond their applicability, and attempts to give any kind of clarity or insight to what these mean from the perspective of a physician has been met with heavy resistance. Perhaps one of us is more emotionally invested in a certain interpretation that's not amenable to clarifying information.
Yes. This whole mask thing is a ****ing joke. Very few are wearing the N95 masks and a bandana? Really?? I'll not wear one again.
Yipee ki yay...
