One of the symptoms of asthma bronchitis is a tense cough that might or might not be associated with by mucous production. Given that the archetypal asthma cough is normally a dry and non-productive cough, if you have asthma and initiate coughing up mucous or sputum you should contact your physician.
Nursing Agency or Medical Recruiting Firm
by MrRobert
The healthcare industry is experiencing unprecedented shortages due to the baby-boomer generation reaching retirement age. Individuals are leaving the workforce at record pace, leaving hospitals nationwide short of staff. At the same time, retirees require three times the healthcare services. As a result, healthcare recruiting services are in high demand.
Placement of a nurse or imaging tech can generate $12,000 to $18,000 in recruiting fees, while a pharmacist or physician can bring in $20,000 to $30,000. These are not numbers we’ve created, but well known figures recognized across the industry.

No Medical Charity Allowed
by jasontromm
(via)
It seems that Medicare and Medicaid consider it fraud if a physician charges any patient less than the government must pay for a medical service. If a doctor feels compassion for some poor soul and offers a discount, he must grant that “discount” for every billing for every patient in the government programs. If he forgives one indigent from paying at all, the government never has to pay for any such procedure.
()() Is this insane or what? Doctors want to do good works, but Medicare/Medicaid rules prevent them from giving out free services. Crazy!
