Coronavirus: Trying to laugh, Getting Angry and Beginning to Worry a Lot
by Steven Mussey MD •
I am certain Coronavirus has visited my office. But, I can’t test for it. The President says it is available for anyone who wants to be tested. This is a lie. Maybe if you are super rich and famous, you can find a test, but not for mere mortals. In my state of Virginia, it is…

Do not be afraid! Our government has this Coronavirus thing solved! Sure, we have no readily available test for the virus. Sure, that means the virus can spread uncontrolled and undetected.

A patient came in this month with insulin-dependent diabetes. Her Endocrinologist had placed her on a combination of a long-acting insulin (Lantus) and short-acting insulin (Humalog). She stated her situation bluntly: “I can’t afford it. It’s $300 a month!”Her insurance seemed like a reasonable plan. I looked on GoodRx to check out the cash price. Each…
Ingenio is Our New Pharmacy Plan….
by Steven Mussey MD •
We’re getting older and we’re on a couple of medications. Our health plan is the same but they switched pharmacy plans to Ingenio. Automated refills stopped. Payment preferences vanished.
