I hear that he was successfully resuscitated

Amazon! Your best bet.

I always say that the product is sold when the cash is in the bank. Never turn down any buyers.

What the Doc said, eccentric muscle strengthening and up to 12 weeks of offloading, rest and rehab. Do a Google search for information by tendon guru Prof. Jill Cook and her tendon injury continuum it helps to understand the pathology of the tendon better. Not just inflammation, degeneration too. If you understand the pathology you will understand why cortisone is a bad idea. My 2 cents worth.

With respect, sadly it's not far off.

Agreed, well said.

Fair comment but most hubbers are not working 24h a day 7 days a week in crap public hospitals

Perfect reply, anesthetics 99% boredom and 1% pure terror. You don't pay to be put to sleep you pay so the doc can wake you up again!

I think we also need to be aware that currently medical aid rates do not exist. The legislation that governed this was set aside in 2010 with the hospersa judgement in 2010. So the rates we use are 10 years old and are not cost based. It's simple economics if you charge less than the cost of sales you will liquidate your business. Also consider the statutory cost of your practice. Income tax at 38%,vat 14%, paye, wcc, mal practice, hpcsa registration, the costs of cpd points to maintain registration. That's just the beginning. Consider the cost of your degree and not working for 10 plus years that you didn't work while attaining your degree. Post graduate qualifications. The list goes on and on. I always say nobody forces any one to use private health care. When you need to go to hospital you do. have a choice you can go to a public health care facility to. Like anything in life you want the best it's never cheap. You cannot get Ferrari care for mini money. Again my two cents what it's worth. Also remember the less medical professionals there are the more scarce the skills more we will pay. It has become a commodity unfortunately world wide. Lastly, consider that a gynecologist may have to pay up to 500k in professional indemnity insurance per annum before he makes a cent. Huge costs!

It's patients like you who have hardened my billing practices. How would you like to be paid 6 months after the service was delivered? I hope you need a prostate exam soon! If people only knew the amount of time, energy and money the medical profession takes away from you and your family they might be a bit more understanding. Think when you are at home with your wife and children or riding your bike I am working looking after your family while mine is alone waiting for me. Maybe consider this it might change your perspective a little. Think about it. My 2 cents worth.

I have learned that lesson already, so I decided never to pay anyone to turn bolts. Learn how to do it Yourself. It's simple and needs very few tools.

With the new 11 Speed comming on to the market from a parts availability in the future I would go 10 speed at least.
