As a former UHGer, long, long ago...I do pay attention anytime their name or Optum pops up. This cyber attack should shine a HUGE spotlight on the monopolies that exist in US healthcare. HUGE single point of failure obviously, price rigging, payment/reimbursement controls...etc.
Dental industry here. Many of our customers had to go back to calling in prescriptions, filing paper claims and preauths ( or finding another vendor then working through hour long hold times to get enrolled and installed), and not receiving the bulk of their payments. Developers are scrambling to make the systems work together, supporting staff are overwhelmed, resources and training are constantly changing. But glad Optum'll buy everyone a soda when it's all over (if you'd ask for one in time...). 🙄
Also Kristen, my mind works just like yours. I steer more toward comedy because real life has enough anxiety for me.
I'm on Kristin's side on punctuality. Certain things are important to be punctual for and certain things aren't important to be on time for. If you show up early to the house and you expect me to entertain you while I'm setting up for the event, I will be angry at you.
My husband’s practice was affected by the hack and we weren’t sure if he was going to be paid for several weeks. He’s the sole provider for our family of 4 and that was stressssssful. I think it should be really eye opening to have fail safes in place on all levels of the system because it’s GOING to happen again (since we saw how quickly they paid the ransom). Yay monopolies 👎
I studied Cyber Security, and my core takeaway there is that we SHOULD NOT be relying so heavily on computers. There is so much that can go wrong, and it will.
I think Kirstin meant the morse code sounds that sometimes used to play before the start of news shows! :'D
I'm with Will on the time thing. I get very anxious about being on time so getting there a little (5ish min) early. Being there a few minutes early also gives me time to transition into whatever mindset I need to be in.
I agree with Kristin on the time issue - i have family members who get anxiety if they're not 15 mins early & it's frustrating!! Always interesting to hear your topics, as I'm in Australia & work in healthcare, which is slightly different to the US.
I agree with you both on the time issues. I’m an Ophthalmic Scribe and being punctual is key. Being a team player and considerate of others time is important. However, if there’s no team, or obligation to be somewhere at a specific time, I will be as late as I can. Also, early is on time, for formal events, appointments, and other events/activities relevant to the two.
Great topic today. Thank you forgetting that news out.
My wife is the exact same as Kristin (even has a sister named Kristen). Hypermobile, hyper anxiety, CANNOT do horror movies of any kind, has to turn away at the first hint of danger/injury... she processes stimuli much differently than I. There's gotta be something with the dopamine receptors. I have a good time with THC but it just makes her tired.
Pneumothorax is collapsed lung. The worst I've seen on X-ray was a complete pneumonia (lung was totally collapsed) and it was the size of a kidney bean. Other than a cough the patient was completely asymptomatic! I immediately sent her to the ER by ambulance.
Omg Kristen you're so relatable. I'm unemployed and that's the only thing that makes my anxiety manageable and I also have social anxiety so every time I go outside it's painful and I procrastinate because I just don't wanna do it.
I am therefore not punctual myself because I'm just trying to relax. I wouldn't exactly say my brain is doing 5000 thousand things at once. It's really just that I dread doing anxiety inducing things, so I try to enjoy my time the most when not doing those things and then right after which makes me unproductive unless I enjoy the task I'm working on.
And yes, also since I procrastinate so much, it is when I actually have to get ready and do things that I also feel like doing extra stuff that doesn't take much time at all.
I also despise it when people come early to my place...
Everyday I wake up thanking the fact I wasn't born american.
I can't use copay assistance coupons for 2 of my prescriptions so I can't get them until the situation is resolved.
Kristin may “not know anything about” cyber attacks, but she’s as sharp as a tack and cuts to the bone instantly with her questions.
I have a friend who keeps their watch randomly wrong to help them stay on time. Close enough to track time of day but off by enough that they can't squeeze every minute out.
Nahhh, Imma agree with Lady G for the horror movies lol I'm fine not imagining myself in horror situations.
Edit: also I got a shoutout, ayeee!!!
I know about the old timey news announcements!
I'm with Kirsten on the time thing!!! :'D I am ridiculously early when it's to some appointment outside, cause I'm scared that my ADHD brain will mess up the transfer. And I'm in "waiting mode" till then cause I fear to get sucked into hyperfocus with tasks!
I'm also that BUT am waiting somewhere further away, when it's an invitation to a home and turning up too early or on time is rude (cause hosts tend to be busy till last minute, so I turn up polite 5-10 minutes late)
The moment an appointment is connected to a very short transfer time, I'm busy till the last second! 🤣 Cause even if I get stuck in hyperfocus and suddenly were late, it'd only be a max of 5 minutes to arrive. The rule applies for when these max 5 minutes are done by feet (have no car), not public transport (cause they do not wait).
Also totally with Kirstin about the Horror Movies! I hate them. My sensory system and empathy levels and immersion do exactly the things she says (also yeah, all the safety checks, though at least I live in a country where I never worry about guns, also no kids).
But most importantly: I literally feel things I see in these movies, to some degree. My body reacts as if I'm getting hurt and it physically hurts. And I start feeling nauseous. And I can smell the smells (so long they're within my scope of experience) and these horrors will come and repeatedly wreak through my sensory system for days and months and out of the blue even years later, in moments when I'm already in a bad state. They'll basically turn into intrusive thoughts and they'll really ruin everyday things like "walking down the road alone" and I don't need that blasted sort of trauma.
I know what she's talking about with the news song!
In Milano,Italy for us being on time is ...being late !!
Gotta be there 5 min early ALWAYS😂😂
That's not true for your trains 🤣
@DGlaucomflecken
As an easily scared person that avoids horror movies, I really love "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil"! It is such a lovely movie with a lot of laughs and a bit of scare and splatter. A great mix for me and my husband to enjoy together. 🍿
My daughter and the other Drs. in her private practice won’t be paid for 2 months so the office ppl. and MAs can be.
What great doctors! It's ridiculous that they are going through this but the dedication to their staffs are wonderful.
Kermit the Frog is the best example of the old-timey newsguy!
First up! Hi from Sacramento RN telephone advice for Kasier
Agree with Kristen on the Horror movies 😂
Kristin is right - hard start vs soft start.
As a patient, my husband couldn’t get a mental health medication for 2 weeks. Luckily he had an old prescription of a similar medication that could hold him over, but we weren’t sure how long it would take for him to get his medication. At the initial onset, I did a Google search, and it was hard to find major news stories about the vastness of the problem. So spot on about your take!
Thanks to change healthcare I couldn’t get my specialty endocrine meds for a month and I don’t have a pituitary gland so that’s lovely and not potentially life threatening at all 🙄
I have to be on Wills side about lateness/on time.😊. " Early is on time; on time is late; late is...just pathetic."😂😂
Except...when it's at my home. Early is not ok. 😅
I love how steadfast she is! @23:50 until 27:50, aww man her brain is complicated
Totally agree with all the points the wife gave about scary movies.why add more stress to your life.
LadyG you are so right on no horror movies and that there are various definitions of being on time. 😂😂
Wasn't that noise like a cartoony teletype machine noise? Like they used to get a lot of news stories sent in from teletype.
As for "on time": If you're not 5 minutes early, you're late.
And I'm sitting here thinking about those three kinds of tissues everything is developed from in an embryo when Kristen said mesothelium... Gotta go and look those up. Endoderm, exoderm and???
Couldn't get my medication. My insurance was retroactively canceled somehow. I had a very strange experience in inpatient care recently, too. Not sure how change could have affected it though.
as a person with executive dysfunction, I'm inevitably the last person to get ready/arrive, so... early? almost never unless I got the time wrong
same but the other way round. I'm in waiting mode all day and come super early cause I plan with messing up on the way from A to B X'D (though ofcourse there's those other "WAIT, where'd time go???" moments, too!)
lol they sound like my wife and I on the whole time thing and being late or early. My wife has zero concept of how long tasks actually takes. She’s always late….always.
The DAX plushie looks like Spyro the dragon.
Do you use DAX in your practice? I am a loyal scribe, Jonathan for my practice, which is a retina practice.
Old timey news sound...teletype machine?
I was thinking telegraphh, but probably similar
@@meridithmock2036 telegraph was probably more mechanical sounding and teletype was more electronic and forceful 😊 I always think of the beginning of the movie All The President's Men...very intense!
Lady G is right. Horror movies are a *very bad* idea for anyone with anxiety issues. ESPECIALLY if you're seeing it in a movie theatre. And while I don't have any frame of reference that could possibly approximate the American experience, I can understand that the fear of mass shootings makes everything that much worse.
That said. Doctor Who is horror. Stranger Things is horror. And, on the whole, Zombies movies and shows are horror. But I will happily watch them all. The big difference between these and your average slasher/horror flick is that the lore of these shows (and genre) is fascinating, well-written, with deep implications about society and the viewer.
As for the being on time bit - I'm a community healthcare nurse in Israel. And with Lady G again. There are things that have a hard start time and everything else has leeway.
But I will disagree with not keeping reptiles for pets. Reptiles are AWESOME and that's only in part because my 15yo daughter wants a pet snake.
Isn't that the sound of a teletype machine?
I’m with Kristin about scary movies. I’m punctual, but i do think some things are a soft start, so I don’t want to sit around for those.
Fingerslap needs to be a thing.
yeah, Kristin pulled out the topic about one of the rarest cancers
and yeah, lung version is most common, not only happens there tho, also peritoneum and other fascia(?)
