Who here has gone through the covid test thing? We did it today. My wife has been feeling crappy for a couple of weeks and Monday a ton of bricks hit me. Now we wait..........

Hope you and your wife feel better. Me, my wife and oldest daughter tested positive back in August. I had very mild symptoms for a day or two, wife was asymptotic and daughter lost taste and smell for a week. We all had multiple positive tests.

I tested was Neg. Went to the desert alone to hook up with & ride with Crazy Ray.

Wife was feeling really bad, stayed back and her test was neg a day later.
Woke up in the RV out here in Spangler and she was sleeping next to me.

Hopefully one of the times you're out in Spangler were out there too. Although I haven't been out with my family in years now.

I took one to help make the numbers more negative, came back negative. I may get another to help the city numbers.

Here on RDP I'm often reading about these miracle Z-Packs --- where do you guys buy them ? Is there a particular safe website to use ?

Get well soon @Gramps

I've been tested twice for foot surgeries and thankfully was negative on both.

Doctor prescription. Every time I get a chest cold I have the doc write me a prescription.


Oh Damn, so I've got to wait until I feel sick, then try to get in to see my Doc, who retired so I don't have one and no new one will see me if I'm sick --- this gets confusing.
Besides any new doc is not simply going to write me a script for anything unless they first pry open and examine every orifice in my aging body.

Or I could drive to Mexico and take a chance they're not selling me who knows what.
I was hoping there was some speak easy online pharmacy and somebody would give me the secret handshake kinda deal.

I just figured since every "I'm not feeling well" thread on RDP is filled with " Start taking Z-Pack" immediately posts, I thought it might be available everywhere.

Buying Meth is easy, buying Z-Pack apparently is not. 🤬

It’s a pretty basic script and I’ve taken it for years. I’ve never had to go into the doc for her to write me a script. I tell her assistant what I need and five minutes later she calls me to say doc approved and script is ready.

Might be time you start a relationship with your new practitioner to avoid what you described above.

I told this before my sister in law 56 has asthma and other issues, her doctor gave her HCL along with a zpack and was over in in 48 hrs. She did have a little heavy breathing for 10 days after , they live in Scottsdale. She is a psychologist and works in a hospital bit Bobby will tell you its snake oil.......

I'll just start hitting the inner city street corners, one of those kids selling meth probably knows where I can get some. :oops: My ole doc and staff were like family, being kicked to the curb at my age really sucks balls.
I've read 100's of local Yelp and medical reviews, seems nobody likes their Internists and thinks their office staff are mean, rude and completely incompetent morons.
Oh sure, makes me want to run right over and get poked, prodded and insulted. 😂 Did I mention I don't much like or trust doctors ?? ;)

Doesn't matter if it's snake oil or a wonder drug, if you can't get your hands on it. My neighbor told me he bought some HCL, from some online pharmacy in India for shit sake --- Ummmmm, no thanks.

But the way I read it here on RDP, I should be able to walk into a local Albertson and just pick it up -- nope, apparently not. :rolleyes:

I'm old(er) and my crusty ole fuck doc who I really liked retired this past summer --- fucker was even older than me. 🤭 Must find new doc, but since the lovely staff set me up with enough BP meds to last me till next June, I've been reading Yelp reviews trying to decide who the lucky doc is going to be. 😂 As I posted in another response, from what I've learned, they all suck balls and the staff delights in pissing everybody off --- oh boy, I can't wait. :eek:

My choices so far seem to be a brand new Doc straight off the boat from Pakistan or a Brit lady doctor with the condescending attitude of a billionaire's butler. :oops:

If you're in OC I go to Pacific Urgent Care & Family Medicine in Fullerton, off Bastenchery. Just walk right in and you'll be out with what you need in 20 mins. I'd call ahead though and ask for Dr. Amer. She's a super nice younger lady doctor, first one where I felt I could actually talk and she genuinely listened.

Nope, more northern San Diego County, but I'm all ears should somebody have a great Internist that takes Medicare 😁

You need to take these Yelp reviews with a grain of salt. In my experience most of them are from people who showed up with a shitty attitude to begin with. The only way you're really going to know is to schedule an appointment (might be difficult in the midst of all this bullshit) and go see the doctor. If you don't care for the office staff or the doctor him/her self then choose a different one and try again. If you can still contact your retired doc you might ask for a referral to someone he knows, he probably goes and sees a doctor right? Good luck.

The last time I saw my old Jew Doctor, I mentioned the Brit Doc, he glanced up and said "Yeah, her", I wasn't sure if that was a recommendation or simply "Good Luck, I'm going fishn' " I do know I went to the equally ancient Urologist he recommended, I'm pretty sure he could have been drafted as a NFL guard :eek:

This outta be interesting if nothing else. But I'm going to hold out as long as possible, sitting in a waiting room with others right now is NOPE.
