Today I had a person tell me, " I work in health care and I know I don't have gout" . So they ignored my labs. They have gout. They are a medical biller. Just saying...

What labs did you run for that i have bern trying to tell my dr i have it but they wont run any tests? And why wouldnt the pt believe the tests? Have they never had a flare up?

The trick when rheumatological order etc is that if you don't have active symptoms they will be negative. Yet, the person may still have it.
I would switch to a provider who will listen and explain their thoughts. No one likes to hurt. No one likes to sit in providers office just to be told there is nothing wrong. Yet, the money makers in health care will do that if diagnosing you is to time consuming.

I’ve flirted with private practice work in the past, but my spouse has been worried about not having affordable healthcare and benefits that each system provides. Is it worth the jump?

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
