@LeeLuka5@ReallyAmerican1 i’m independent and vote for the candidate and not the party. And Trump is an embarrassment to our country- you can be pro- trump - that’s your choice. and that’s what America is based on.
@migrainemelissa@leftchurchcult@KatyLMA each to his own. the survival rate for people who follow the treatment for my case is 99% at the five year mark. Less so when just all cases are counted.
@RogerB65082370@jeremyct memories are our guaranteed inheritance. anything else is subject to change. everyone should try and make good ones and drop the bad ones.
“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.
