[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 410303, member: 84"] Odd. But then he is a pain doctor, not your average fam doctor or whatever. Perhaps it has to do with fear of other patients getting ill as I'd imagine he has some chronically ill patients that a bug would do a real number on. Or since this didn't seem to be the case not long ago........perhaps doctor himself is battling a medical issue that makes him more susceptible and more difficult to throw off a bug. My girls get furious that unless it's life or death I flat out refuse to go to the ER. Heck I even avoid the doctor if at all possible. Not because I like to suffer, but because I know it puts me at high risk of catching heaven knows what. And at this stage, I've gone from never catching anything (seriously I so rarely got sick that perfect attendance was normal for school and work ugh) to catching just about everything that crosses my path. To make it worse.......no matter what it is, it takes me 3 times longer to throw it off. Scary when a simple case of flu can throw me into renal failure. You may be certain that the throwing up was due to the migraine, but doctor and staff have no way to be certain that is the case. I mean once I went into the ER with a killer migraine.......turned out I was in renal failure. No other sign, just the killer migraine, well and my blood work was off the charts. This is why docs don't assume. lol Betting it's a safeguard for either patients or himself. But still would be polite to let your patients know this policy exists and they won't be charged for canceling due to illness. [/QUOTE]
