Doctor Visit - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kaotic Lazagna · 09-09-2007, 05:20 AM

okay, long story-short, i have two bites that made me hurt (got it while i was washing my car). so i went to Kaiser, waited and hour and a half, and paid a 10 dollar co-pay...and all for what...one and a half minutes speaking to the physician!? pure crap...anyway, he told me, and insisted that they were just mosquito bites, with somehow me being "more allergic" to this time around.

vampire bites? scary..

Kaotic Lazagna · 09-09-2007, 06:09 AM

these two bites are pretty crazy! one made my left calve look so much bigger compared to my right, and the other bite makes it look like i broke my leg/ankle since they're both that swollen! they're starting to make my muscles feel taut and hurt again...i think i should go to sleep now. the Benedryl should start kicking in soon, hopefully.

blueskana · 09-09-2007, 06:31 AM

Is there any possibility they are spider bites?

eTiMaGo · 09-09-2007, 11:08 AM

i don't scratch my bites. i may, or may not put ice on it (same with what the physician told me, putting a warm, damp towel over them). i am taking allergy medicine tho.

Put some lemon (the fruit) on it overnight. just do it and u will get better.

Spider bites will have the two marks, plus after about 2-8 hrs it will hurt like a bitch. Only the Brown recluse and Black Widow well along with the Hobo spider can do any damage. If its any other spider bite it will go away. The others you will know about. I had a phobia of the Brown recluse once and went ape shit on research on spiders.

Kaiser SUCKS! This happened when I lived in California:

Over an 18 month period, I had 3 visits to Kaiser because of a tiny patch of dry skin (on my right temple) that just wouldn't go away and sometimes bled. Each time Kaiser dismissed the problem as dermatitis and sent me home with some useless cream.

When I moved to Florida, I had to have a routine physical in order to teach. The GP noticed the dry skin on my temple, stated he didn't like the look of it, and referred me to a dermatologist. With a simple biopsy, that dry skin was quickly diagnosed as skin cancer. I underwent 4 hours of surgery (and 16 stitches) to remove all the affected tissue.

My suggestion is to consult with a private practice physician if you have any medical probelms that aren't being addressed to your satisfaction at Kaiser.

Next year you get Hillary care then you can wait 2 or 3 days.

*kimona* · 09-09-2007, 10:17 PM

I only hope we do get "Hillary care", then at least we'll have some kind of basic medical care for the hundreds of thousands of Americans without any medical coverage whatsoever... me included! USA... what a disgrace!
