Haha no that was my son on my account because it is auto set to sign on. I'm OB/GYN

tom_jones · Sep 3, 2009, 05:44 PM

Graduated from Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. My son is in college now and I believe his story and the laptop screen is damaged. The account is set to automatically log in. I don't have time to use askmehelpdesk, so this is why I may only have 3 posts. I am in the States now. So don't try to be funny.

tom_jones · Sep 3, 2009, 05:49 PM

You are more than welcome to call my office.

jmjoseph · Sep 3, 2009, 06:04 PM

If you're a doctor, then you can afford a new screen. Charge it to your office.

tom_jones · Sep 3, 2009, 06:16 PM

Of course I can but I'm not going to pay for it because my son didn't break it. And I can't charge a laptop screen to my office. Well technically I can as a liability but it's not ethical because the clinic has to pay for it. I work private practice.

So you created an account to sign in automatically, only your son has used it before to answer and ask questions (you realize anyone on here can click your name and get to the history of all of your posts, right?), and now you're coming on here using the account your son has taken over to ask a question for him? Hm. Just doesn't sound right still

It's free to sign up, doesn't cost one cent and it's quick and easy.

We often look at old posts to get the bigger picture. This is why it's not a good idea to post under someone else's account.

We're not trying to be funny at all, we're absolutely serious.

You've gotten great legal advice here, you've been told what to do. I would suggest that you sign up for your own account if you wish to ask further questions.

Good luck.

I don't have a Facebook account or myspace so my secretary set it up for me to auto sign in. I'm not exactly of your generation to know how to use these things. So I just want it to sign in and I can ask my question. I wanted my secretary to set it up so when someone replies it says in my email inbox, but she has not done that yet. At the time I was in school, I did not have to do any legal courses and I did not choose any, so basic legal terms I'm unfamiliar with which is why I seem to ask questions that are obvious to someone who has the appropriate legal expertise.

How old do you think we are? :confused:

There are people in their 80's here that have an account.

It's really not hard. You did figure out how to log in, start a new thread etc.

You don't need a Facebook or myspace account to sign up here so I don't know why you mentioned that.

How do you survive, as a doctor, without basic computer knowledge?

That's exactly why doctors have secretaries who make sure patients are coming, and draft my schedule for me. When you are working in this business there is no time to do extra things. Sure I would love you take a weekend off, go to a computer course but I'm always working.

My doctor uses the computer all the time, to check files, fill out prescriptions, everything. He's in his 60's.

tom_jones · Sep 3, 2009, 11:08 PM

I do office some days where I know what I'm prescribing, generally the same cases every day and some days surgery which I get a printed schedule from my secretary. I don't use the computer for anything.

ScottGem · Sep 4, 2009, 05:04 AM

First, I'm sorry, but a doctor generally has better than average intelligence. They also have to think quickly on their feet. The answers you received contained very little, if any, legal jargon. About the only legal term used was "negligence" and, as a doctor, you should understand what that means.

As to setting up your account to send you e-mail click on My Profile in the upper right of the screen. On your profile click on edit options on the left side (about half way down). In there you can set up notifications to your e-mail address when you receive responses. Not very difficult at all.

Looking back, the first 5 or so questions were posted by your son, so I have to wonder who really setup the account.

If you don't want your son to use your account tell him to setup one of his won.

I've never seen a Physician use the phrase "ha, ha" before.

I suspect OP has some problems (including lying and then coming up with excuses) and it's time to close the thread.

And, yes, by all means, let's call his office! Anyone have the number? (I also don't know any Physicians who work private practice in a clinic - ?)

jmjoseph · Sep 4, 2009, 08:00 AM

Personally, I don't know what to think but here:

The name of this thread is "son's laptop broken intentionally", it was an accident.

If you really are a doctor, trying to get reimbersed for damaged property, I ask WHY? Do you plan on coming to the rescue of your son every time he does something? Is he spoiled? Let him take care of it, no matter what the decision.

If you are the "son", grow up, and act like an adult.

You, or your son, whomever it is I'm talking to, you should know guys that age are very sensitive about people talking about their girl.

I guess this is a fine way to find that out.

Now somebody go write a check.

I am not at General Practitioner, I am a specialist. And maybe you are in a next world but specialist don't only work in the public sector but also privately. They work in a medical clinic with maybe 30 other doctors.

JudyKayTee · Sep 4, 2009, 12:34 PM

If I had any doubts at all, this post clinched the deal!

Specialist? Run on sentences?

No way!

Not buying it.

You don't write well enough to be a doctor.

Where did you go to medical school?

JudyKayTee · Sep 4, 2009, 12:40 PM

As I recall, Scotland but now he/she or whomever is in the US, working as an OB/GYN, in a clinic - and we are welcome to call the clinic and find out.

You call the Western side of the US and I'll call the Eastern side.

These responses are apparently being typed between patients.

I love this board!

Isn't it fun when a 20 something pretends to be a doctor but doesn't have the brains
God gave a goat?

Yes, a busy doctor indeed. A doctor that doesn't understand computers yet finds
A way to join AMHD and ask questions. I had to help a lot of people write their first
Thread and post pictures, yet I'm the most computer illiterate person on this site. Maybe. ;)

Not buying it one little bit. I may not be a doctor but I'm smarter then the OP. Hmmm, maybe I should go to med school? :p
