@hjluks I wish more orthopedists on Long Island understood this or at least cared enough to explain the difference to patients. Shouldn’t be such a foreign idea. Most injuries are of the -osis and not -itis.

You also have a $1600 deductible for Part A & a $240 deductible for Part B.

This is also how “Advantage” plans scam people by offering “lower premiums than traditional Medicare”

Even though you’ll pay 3fold that in copays and coinsurance (while having decreased access to care!)

@galexandermd @hjluks Most are told this while practitioner never has put a hand on them to see what there deficits are muscularly. Weight is one factor but certainly not the end all.

Grandparents are carrying their grandkids because of PT.

Kids are playing touch football with their cousins because of PT.

Happy Thanksgiving to the PTs and PTAs who make so many so thankful!
