I decided to get back at Kaiser Permanente. They have take up the practice of not treating ailments unless the patient (me) has been in twice.
Big mistake on their part. I have allergies. Everybody KNOWS I have allergies including the Kaiser practitioners. Well, I went in for a series of ‘dry red sploches’ up ONE arm. The doctor asked (again) if I had allergies. Then she asked if I had any animals. I have a dog. She informed me to ‘wash the dog in dandriff shampoo’ because of the dander. I didn’t think this was appropriate because even if I were allergic to the dog doing that was not going to clear up the sploches.
But being the obidient patient (I’m not a child either) I did as she said and guess what? The sploches are still there and getting worse. So if I want to get something done about them I have to go back to her, at her recommendation. NOT!
I can keep them under control and stop them from being really gross but they won’t go away. So, I wear short or sleeveless shirts so other people see them. If they ask or pay to much attention to them I tell them I went to Kaiser and all I got was this lousy rash!
Since they don’t bother me too much I plan on taking advantage of it until I HAVE to have it taken care of.
Oh, at this same appointment AFTER she told me to use a dandriff shampoo, I told her I was having problems with my nose. She looks in my nose and asks (again) do you have allergies. DUH! Didn’t we just go over that?
My problem is not life threatening so I can use it against Kaiser. I do NOT however recommend it for all ailments. In other words, don’t do this if it causes harm to yourself or others. But word of mouth is the best advertisement
