They don’t offer testing that is FDA approved so what you get from them ends up being a fake diagnosis, supported by non evidence based tests, and $300-400 for supplements that you don’t need, that make your urine expensive and you still feel like shit.

I worked in primary care and GI and all functional medicine practitioners are people who prey on people who don’t feel well. I had one patient who was taking, and I’m not being dramatic, 47! supplements a day for acid reflux. And guess what? She was significantly poorer and still had reflux.

I doubt someone is going to come in and get a good bartending job there.

I think you should think of an alternate plan. Maybe start as a waiter and show someone you are worth considering.

Go to man's greatest hospital.

The same extended family also used to own A-1 Pizza and Florence Pizza in Florence, but I haven't been there in many years.

I’m sorry that your health issues have been viewed that way, I know it can be frustrating especially if nobody seems to have the answer. It’s equal parts provider burn out and equal parts patients who don’t want to listen and try advice of providers and it makes for a difficult situation. Keep your head down, try providers until you find one you jive with, and be willing to give the treatment plans a real college try before deciding “they suck” or something like that. We all really do want to help, but unfortunately suffer from being human.

I meant nurse practitioner.

Edit to add: you offer some good advice.

Keep your fire reasonably small and yeah you’re good- used to work for an FD.

I once went to a call for a brush fire and the guy had about a 6ft pile of brush and a couple of car seats on top. Said it was for cooking. That’s not gonna fly.

Armando’s in Cambridge has the best tangy sauce

I think I eat there some years ago,very very good food for sure!

I left the state a couple years back but there’s a guy named Gronda in holliston that was still treating people like people.

You could be right, but normally NP is "Nurse Practitioner". Another protip, if any doctor refuses to do something you are requesting, ask them to note that in your record.(that they refused to do x,y,z test.)

Its honestly criminal that they do this. They basically punish you for having even a modicum of success.

I haven't, I'll have to try it though. Thanks for the tip!

I have seen and heard nothing but will update. The worry is that he influenced her while very sick to change the will

An executor can not cut you out. They have to follow the terms of the will.

Do you have a copy of the will? Do you know who drafted it? A lawyer? Do you know the witnesses to the signature? Does it say the estate is to pass “per stirpes”—that means you get the share your father would have gotten if he was alive.

Shout out to Brothers Pizza in Lawrence

You can get this from a PCP. Unfortunately you have to advocate HARD. I am seeing a resident at Boston Medical Center primary care who is sending me to any specialist I request. Does BMC take your insurance? DM me if you want her name.

I'd be dead if not for Winchester Hospital so they're doing something right.
