Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 26, 2017

“You can also pay me with home baked cookies and kittens.”

Oh, jeez, better keep that quiet!

it IS true that there are different levels of “gayness” (for lack of a better word). so i don’t find it surprising when someone is mistaken gay. i had a chemistry teacher whom you would swear was a lesbian by they way she dressed (very butch) and comport herself. BUT, she was straight all the way. my cousin is the same way. i jokingly came up with a term to describe people like that: “one gene away for being gay.” that’s how my gay friends sometimes describe me…..

And it’s all covered by the ACA. Why, I’m raking in over a $100K a year on you alone.

Andy must be very uncomfortable with his neck bent 90 degrees that way.

Good thing for Andy he’s a cartoon character. (A beautifully written and well-drawn one.)

Last doc in the U.S. doing this

Housecalls? What’s housecalls?

Housecalls were rare back in ’89 – but they are returning in a big way these days – by video chat. Apparently, having actual physical presence contact time with a doctor is no longer an efficient enough way to bill time anymore.

There is a company growing nationally that has a strictly house-call practice. My wife has been using one for about three years since her stroke. She is mostly seen by an NP or a PA but then so am I when I visit my doctor’s office. And she does see the supervising doctor once in a while. It works well since she does not drive and is mobility impaired as well.

He’s afraid of being stigmatized if the other doctors find out.

I missed getting Go-Comics yesterday, and today’s with the backtrack to yesterday…..

@Jeffiekins> Andy J. Lippencot was (and still is) far, far more than just a cartoon character from 25+ years ago.

RP, FYI, the ACA didn’t exist when this strip first appeared.
