  1. Isn't it nice we have to pass another bill (law), when we already have a law that does the same thing. It is a simple matter of enforcement. When you check off on the 4473, that you are not a mental deficient, shouldn't NICS have that information already?

    :unsure:

  2. Typically with most insurances the doctor has a contracted rate that he gets paid, you are responsible for the copay, and deductible amount if it hasn't been met.

    And, typically, that "contract rate" is way less than walk in people are charged.

    Walk-ins pay my full price for an office visit or consult, plus x-ray and if they have surgical procedures. Nothing wrong with that, this is after all America. I do give those patients with low incomes, payment plans and reduced rates. If I see you drive up in an Escalade or CL600, and you have a problem with the amount.....I may wonder...WTF?

  3. Typically with most insurances the doctor has a contracted rate that he gets paid, you are responsible for the copay, and deductible amount if it hasn't been met.

    Be aware, you may have separate deductibles for labs, x-ray, oupatient surgery, other ancillary testing.

    If the doctor has a contracted rate, he cannot go above and beyond that rate and 'bill' you for the remainder.

    Your insurance may vary, as a patient it is up to you to understand your insurance and how it works.

  4. I lost 20 fps in my open gun going from 3600 feet and low humidity to 800 feet with higher humidity.

    Wow, same temperature & chrono? 20 fps is a heck of a lot to lose for bashing through 10 feet of air.

    Well, the second chrono was the match chrono at DTC, not my CED. So who knows.

  5. I never have understood why shotguns aren't popular with the zombie-whacking crowd. It indeed does take some of the sport out of it, but when you are up to your hip pockets in them, #1 buckshot pretty much does the trick.

    dj :P:D:lol:

    Yep, and with the price of 5.56 and 308 going through the roof. $2.99 for Federal Buckshot isn't soo bad. :ph34r:

  6. Not a scaphoid fracture, it'd hurt like hell when gripping or under recoil...think bad vibrations. Fractured bones hate it.

    More than likely DeQuervains, or mild teno-synovitis (which is what DeQuervains is). Avoid things that that aggravate it.

    Rest, wrap it with a brace, ice the shit out of it. Stop the pushups, or similar maneuvers., or just use your palms. Motrin or naprosyn.

    FYI... i'm a foot surgeon, but treat mucho tendinitis.
