Mark-Elliott Lugo says San Diego Transit worse every year
"We'd be better off allowing private bus companies to create their own routes that actually serve the citizens of San Diego" I agree. Let them compete with private car service, as they do in bigger cities. Jitneys are a great way to go. Pay by zone, $1 to go all the way down a major thoroughfare.— September 17, 2009 3:15 a.m.
Insidious Infections
russl, I had no idea what I was in for, and they acted at the hospital like "it weren't nothing." Hmmph. Couldn't lift my head for five days, and had strange head changes and dizzy spells for a few weeks afterward. Loss of spinal fluid is a serious thing, and they should really keep you in the hospital for a couple of days afterward, in my opinion. As for the Darvocet, same max dose recommended for Percocet. Sometimes the pain demands more. "This is what happens," as gringo might aptly comment :)— September 17, 2009 2:56 a.m.

Mammograms
I went as far as getting the order for my first one from the doc, and let the damn thing expire. Ok, time to really do it! :)— September 17, 2009 2:27 a.m.

Switch to the Glenlivet and make back the proceeds by charging people to just "hold" your liver for a few minutes :)— September 17, 2009 2:17 a.m.
Insidious Infections
I saw on a hospital chart sometime last year that I had "fatty liver." I asked, and the nurse said it was absolutely nothing to worry about. I take many drugs, incl. two injectibles, and yes, a fair amount of acetaminophen. Not surprised to hear I have a bit of enlargement. So, AG---I've been pounding the diet Hansen's lately. No good?— September 17, 2009 1:33 a.m.

#20: russl, I'm surprised Darvocet works for you. I've never heard of any pain killer working for a migraine sufferer--they usually end up taking shots of Imitrex and the like. When I had a spinal tap a couple of months ago, and the five-day horror afterward, my man fed me Percocets every couple of hours. They did absolutely nothing against the headache. Of course, they do help some with the abdominal stuff.— September 17, 2009 1:26 a.m.

"Acetaminophen wouldn't be my first choice any more, due to the recent associations with liver damage." C'mon, AG. You know you have to take a LOT for this to happen. Don't start sounding like one of those "I-won't-take-it-so-there" sufferers! :) What says Doc Gringo on this? Concur? Contraindicate?— September 17, 2009 1:23 a.m.
Alan Greenspan proclaimed that central bankers can’t foresee or forestall bubbles
re: #19: Bruce McCall in the Sept 7 New Yorker has a spoof on med insurance brochures called "Fibrillations," which begins: "Welcome to the monthly newsletter about your health-insurance problem, not ours." And I love this part--instantly meaningful to any HMO member who has ever had to function as her own part-time billing clerk: "Q.& A. of the Month Q: My current statement lists two hundred and thirty-one charges for "brain surgery," even though I have had no brain surgery. How can I rectify this? A: Invalid question. Brain surgery is not covered under your plan."— September 17, 2009 12:49 a.m.
