Long Term Claim 2012-2025 Form

I think that I may have answered this question a few years ago.It concerned a gentleman who had just been to the bathroom, and had forgotten to zip up his fly!The individual was walking down his stairs, and when he got to the last couple of steps, he tripped and fell. Unfortunately, his vacuum cleaner was still running, and was upside down, and his fall positioned him in such a way that his penis, very unfortunately, disappeared into the vacuum cleaner and was badly macerated.The history was provided for me by a totally straightfaced patient, with his desperately worried and concerned partner sitting at the bottom of his bed, such that one would have thought, by the unfortunate individual’s demeanour, that this was a routine injury that occurred every day!It feels like last week, although it must’ve been about 35 years ago! The junior urological surgeon, red-faced, embarrassed and clearly totally at a loss to know what needed doing, was seriously considering performing an amputation, as the damage appeared to be far too great for preservation of the organ. In fact, fundamentally, on careful observation, it looked a great deal worse than it actually was.As an anaesthesiologist, I felt the patient needed a more senior opinion, and I suggested that the consulting, consultant in the United Kingdom, a Mr. Clarke, was called in at 2 o’clock in the morning, for an opinion.On the one hand, he wasn’t particularly pleased at being in the hospital at that time, but on the other hand, he felt that the situation was almost certainly recoverable, and he spent most of the next two hours doing his best to appear totally professional, and determined to maintain complete clinically appropriate discipline under very trying circumstances!He was able to perform a very impressive, complex, neat and tidy plastic surgical repair to the rather battered and sad looking organ, and he left a silastic implant where the urethra should have been, in order to keep it patent and open.In fact, the rather clever, difficult and tricky procedure, was worthy of its own patent, although to the best of my knowledge, this was never explored!He then fashioned a suprapubic catheter, by inserting a wide bore needle through the abdominal wall into the bladder, such that it drained into a large Winchester bottle.This meant that the urine could exit freely from the bladder, although the urethra was completely blocked off by a device that was calculated to keep it open, and vaguely circular in an attempt to prevent future obstruction and scarring.The patient was very fortunate, and despite not having the very best visibly optimal and attractive result, he was able to avoid having a total amputation of his penis, including a totally functional result!When everything had healed, all sutures removed, the suprapubic catheter extracted and the Silastic implant gently teased out, all appeared to function normally, as far as the casual observer could determine.Two weeks later, the surgeon assured me that the organ had achieved 100% normal function!Many of my friends and colleagues did not initially believe me when I explained the events of that night, so I was very pleased to have taken a before and after Polaroid photograph of what had occurred!To this day, I do not have the patient’s permission for publication, so the images are probably best kept at the bottom of a large drawer, to avoid damage by sunlight, not to mention litigation!Steve

If the treatment is simple counselling in my office, all I have to do is type my note, then I bill automatically through my electronic health record. So all codes for diagnosis and type of exam are preprogrammed into the system. Treatment has occurred. No trees were injured.If the treatment requires a prescription, then I can write the prescription in my Electronic health Record (EHR) and efax to pharmacy. Or I print it out, sign it. The patient takes it to a pharmacy where his or her insurance is checked, information is added to her computerized record and the medication is dispensed. If I made an error or pharmacist has a question, then they contact me and we fix it. Sometimes a medication is covered only under specific circumstances, so I may have to fill out an online form that gets efaxed to government requesting approval. (Examples might be a cholinesterase inhibitor for dementia, or a specific expensive treatment for Attention Deficit Disorder…). Minimal paperwork for treatment.It’s more complicated if I refer to a specialist. Depending on the specialty, there are a variety of ways to refer. Some go to a centralized booking Center, some are given to the patient who then has to call and make appointment, sometimes it goes to a team that has a specific referral form (pain clinic, head trauma….). In some cases I phone a specialist to find out how to get a patient in for rapid diagnosis in cancer care. Sometimes they’ll see the patient the next day. Only paperwork was a printed out referral with a copy of the X-ray.I have very little paperwork in general for treatment to occur (which is what you asked in your question).When I do have paperwork, it’s usually for insurance companies for short or long term disability, life insurance, workman’s compensation, road insurance for someone injured in a vehicle accident, fitness to drive forms….,The other administrative stuff I have to do involves looking up the patient results for all the tests I do. I try to minimize the testing I do, for example I do not send every cough for a chest x Ray or every case of dizziness for a brain scan. But even so, most of my patients come in with an illness that does require testing and I have to look through the results, file them or act upon them. That takes at least an hour a day.That has nothing to do with whether healthcare is privatized or universal.Hope this answered your question.

Definitely ask for a psychologist referral!  You want someone on your side who can understand your issues and be willing and eager to advocate for you with the beancounters because disability can be rather hard to get some places, like just south of the border in America.Having a psychologist means you have a more qualified specialist filling out your papers (which is a positive for you and for the government), and it means you can be seeing someone who can get to know your issues in greater depth and expertise for further government and non-profit organization provided aid.If seeing a psychologist on a regular basis is still too difficult for you, start with your initial appointment and then perhaps build up a rapport with a good therapist through distanced appointments (like via telephone, if that is easier) until you can be going into a physical office.  It would probably look good on the form if your psychologist can truthfully state that you are currently seeking regular treatment for your disorders because of how serious and debilitating they are.I don't know how disability in Canada works, but I have gone through the process in the US, and specifically for anxiety and depression, like you.  Don't settle for a reluctant or wishywashy doctor or psychologist, especially when it comes to obtaining the resources for basic survival.  I also advise doing some internet searches on how to persuasively file for disability in Canada.  Be prepared to fight for your case through an appeal, if it should come to that, and understand the requirements and processes involved in applying for disability by reading government literature and reviewing success stories on discussion websites.

If it’s private disability insurance you have to check the policy. Each company is different.BTW, SSDI isn’t short term, it’s a condition that will last over a year, or is terminal. Only a few conditions get fast compassionate rulings (pancreatic cancer for one, that has like a 2% survival rate in 5 years).

In my experience, excellent workers get favorable treatment from their employers regardless of health problems. However, employers do have varying health policies.The best bet for valued employees is to be upfront about health problems and the likely impact on their work life.It may be that to get a job, a person with a mental handicap would require help finding a job. The state employment office or a specialty headhunter might be the best bet. New workers should focus on stress free work conditions and establishing a reputation for good work.Long term disability is evaluated by the state mental health system and requires a lengthy evaluation while being without much state support. I would not recommend this route since it limits the worker to a low basic check, food stamps and very limited shared housing. It does not offer much in the way of entertainment or clothing. However, for some, this little is a God send. Most people only feel good about themselves if they contribute--lack of work is a major source of depression. Don't believe this is an easy get off scott free lifestyle--its often quite minimal and tragic.Seek mental health care, minimal medication to relieve symptoms, counseling, and career counseling and plan to do what you can to survive.

After reading so many motivational blogs about waking up at 5 AM, I had to try it once.My eccentric character didn’t allow me to let go of this. So, I tried.On the night of 13th March 2017, I set my alarm for 4 AM and turned off my room’s light at 10 PM. Guess what?On 14th March 2017, I woke up at 4 AM sharp.There wasn’t anything going well with me in that phase, so I decided why not take charge of my life?I woke up and started watching a movie. What a productive activity!The focus for the first day was to wake up at 4 AM. That’s it. I knew I’m not going to be a habit-master in just one day.I spent that day yawning and searching for some more good habits that I can try out before sunrise.So, the next day, after waking up at 4 AM again, I had a cup of green tea and spent an hour reading a good book. Once the sun was up, I went out for a morning walk.That’s how I started developing new and productive habits, and a life-long chase of my self-care journey.Understanding the science behind habitsFirst of all, what’s a habit?A habit is an action that you take on a repeated basis with little or no required effort or thought. The power of habit lies in the second part of the definition- the bit about no required effort or thought.You unlock the door of a room, and the first thing you do is to turn on the light. It's a habit.You brush your teeth every morning, that's a habit.How long does it take to make a new habit?A lot of studies confirm that it takes 21-days to completely develop a new habit, while other studies state that it takes 66 days.The truth is, it depends from person to person and is subjected to the new habits you are trying to develop.The key is to start today and repeat tomorrow.As simple as that.Don’t chase motivation. Make habits.Motivation is a temporary boost in your willpower.Do you want to start reading books? Pick up a book and read 1 page right now.Do you want to lose weight? Get ready and go out for a brisk walk.Do you want to save more money? Note and track down all the money you spent today.Many People think they lack motivation when what they really lack is clarity.Creating new habits with goals in mindWhat do you want to do? What do you want to achieve? What do you want to become?Habits are like the atoms of our lives. Each one is a fundamental unit that contributes to your overall improvement.(~James Clear, Atomic Habits)There are two types of people: those who can add any new habits easily, and those who can eliminate the old bad habits easily.Like, some people may find it easy to add healthy food articles in their diet, and some people can find it easier to stop eating junk.Let’s say you want to be a better writer or a better singer or maybe you want to get six pack abs. Or maybe you want to read more books.Your habits would be to write regularly, practice singing regularly, and hitting the gym and eating healthy regularly.Don’t target results, target processes.Getting six-pack ab is a result oriented approach. Working out every day is a process.Getting 1 Million followers on your social media profiles is a result oriented approach. Creating quality content every day is a process.Most of the times, results are not in our hands. Showing up to work and doing our end of the task is in our hands.Tracking your habitsIf you can’t track your progress, it’s better not to do it all.How are you going to keep a track of your habit?Commit to a number.If you want to develop a habit of writing, make a commitment that you’ll write X amount of words every day or every week.That being said, you have to start small and develop mini-habits.Develop Mini-habits.You can’t, (in fact, you can, but you shouldn’t) commit to an unrealistic goal on day one.Your commitment should too small to say no to.We don't notice small changes because their immediate impact is negligible.If you are fat today, and you run for 1 hour... you'd still be fat tomorrow.But if you repeat running daily for half an hour, over a period of time, you'll see visible changes in your body.Repeating the same activity over a period of time brings tremendous changes.Rather than starting with reading 1 book a day, start with the commitment to read at least one page a day.Rather than starting with finishing one unit of your course book, start with studying one topic a day.Don’t skip twice.Skipping twice means you have to start with the habit all over.Jerry Seinfeld is one of the most successful comedians of all-time and has co-created one of the best sitcoms “Seinfeld”.His extraordinary success is effectively a result of his tremendous consistency in producing great content year after year.His strategy?He writes a joke every day. Every single day.He has a calendar set up on his wall. After writing his joke of the day, he marks a cross in his calendar. A big cross on the date. This way after a couple of days, the calendar starts showing a chain of marked cross signs. And all Jerry Seinfeld has to do is not to break the chain.Start today. Repeat tomorrow.Try and try, and just don't break the chain.Allow yourself to create shitty first drafts.Remember when you see a baby who has just started speaking?Bla bla ,,, ula lo,,, maa paaa, mapapababa…None of the kid’s words makes sense. But do the parents interrupt the kid and discourage him? Nope. They allow him to speak shit at first.Eventually, that kid grows to speak and write and use perfect language.Allow yourself to fail and create junk, at first.If you are going to the gym for the first time, chances are you’re going to cry with pains in a day or two. It’s alright.“People tend to look at successful writers, writers who are getting books published and maybe even doing well financially, and think that they sit down at their desks every morning feeling like a million dollars, feeling great about who they are and how much talent they have and what a great story they have to tell; that they take a few deep breaths, push back their sleeves, roll their necks a few times to get all the cricks out, and dive in, typing fully formed passages as fast as a court reporter. But this is just fantasy of the uninitiated. I know some very great writers, writers you love who write beautifully and have made a great deal of money, and not one of them sits down routinely feeling wildly enthusiastic and confident. Not one of them writes elegant first drafts… For me and most other writers I know, writing is not rapturous. If fact, the only way I can get anything written at all is to write really, really shitty first drafts.”—Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird.Be Accountable for your new habitMy resolution for this year is to write at least 1 blog post every week. The moment I skip my habit, I am going to punish myself by donating 1000 Rs to an NGO.You need to be accountable for your habit too.Sign a cheque of 1000 Rs in the name of a donation. And give it to your friend. Tell him that you’ll send him a gym selfie every day. The day you don’t send me a selfie from the gym, implying you missed your gym, ask him to deposit that cheque.Plan for Variance.Let's say you have a habit of going to the gym daily. But you can’t go to the gym while travelling.So, you need to plan for a variance.For example, you can plan on doing push-ups or crunches during the day.Create Identity-based habits.Creating Identity-based habits is the recipe for sustained success.Instead of aiming to do something, try and 'be' something.If you want to develop the habit of writing, be a person who writes 100 words every day.If you want to develop a habit of networking, be a person who keeps in touch with people, who calls someone every day.At some point, the pain of not doing it becomes greater than the pain of doing it (~The War of Art)You may also like to read:-8 Ways to Read More Books in 2019Amore!Click HERE to read the best of my Quora answers!Dipanshu Rawal.

Not only the paperwork burden, but also the burden of “EHR Meaningful Use” as mandated under PPACA (ACA/Obamacare). I had formulated a tremendously useful structured interview and examination format that I used in my clinic; many patients said that the 20–30 minutes I spent with each new patient was the most comprehensive medical history and examination they had ever had. Whenever I went on vacation and hired a locum tenens (temp) doctor, they often praised my system and asked for copies of the forms so they could implement them when they had practices of their own.Once “Meaningful Use” was required, I was excited to streamline my systems still further and I eagerly started to try out different types of Electronic Medical Record software. Of course, under Obamacare, I could only use software that had been approved by CMS. I tried four different systems in six years. To my dismay, the software was full of bugs and complicated, unnecessary steps, and accessing patient information and records of prior visits was consistently difficult and unintuitive. Literally thousands of hours were required on my part and my staff’s to accomplish the conversion of patient records into each system. The software and equipment required to run it cost me, all told, over $100,000. The quality of care I provided necessarily deteriorated.And the worst part? The EMR requirement was supposed to provide for instant interoperability between different clinics, but the programs could only transmit patient demographics and coded diagnoses between systems. To send or receive patient records, we had to print them out in PDF or on paper, which often ran hundreds of pages because of the way the software stored each record, and then either burn a disc, physically hand the paper records to the patient, or transmit them via fax. This last is because old-fashioned telephone-line faxes are okay under HIPAA, but transmitting a password-protected PDF is not. The idiocy of regulations!As I developed progressive inflammatory arthritis in my hands, the hands-on care I was providing to my patients began to deteriorate. I might have hired young chiropractors with intact hands and taught them my systems, but the computerized medical records were causing the mental services I provided as a chiropractic physician to deteriorate in quality as well. And I was spending more and more time filling out forms and talking on the phone to clerical personnel at insurance companies, justifying treatment plans and MRI and CT scans for patients who needed them.Sadly for me, my personal medical physician was undergoing the same sort of nightmare deterioration of her clinical systems due to EMR requirements, and that’s a big part of the reason my inflammatory arthritis was misdiagnosed until the damage was already well advanced. I did have good long-term disability insurance coverage, so I was able to retire at a relatively young age and pursue a writing career, but I would far rather have continued to practice excellent chiropractic medicine well into old age.
