I was a 'level drops' guy for many years, and then was able to adapt to having them point at the dropout, or somewhere in between. The point being to be able to easily access the levers grom tje drops or the hoods. Sometimes adjustments are necessary. Yes, it can look odd, but ......

datlas elaborate on the use of "physician extenders" in the current landscape.
When I was discussing my appointments with with the nurse (see post #439 ), she said something about patients seeing the doctor "once a year."

Contrary to what some here may think, I'm hardly a needy patient. If things were going well, I'd be fine with seeing a doctor zero times a year. But they aren't. And there's no way a nurse should be the primary provider for my drug-resistant RA.

I got rid of my older bars over the last few months, replacing all 3 with short reach/short drop bars where I'm more comfortable in the drops and the ramp is flat to very slightly down, with the bottoms level or darn near. I find that much more comfortable than the old bars I had on them.

If you had gone to Mello Velo, you could have been at a bike shop and had dinner in the same place.

The lower slopes of that highway are a screaming descent, or a grueling climb. Bottom to top is 25 miles and 5000 feet. People who love to climb love that road.

Remember how (maybe you don't, you are young) you went to the dentist and he did all the work, he cleaned your teeth and if you needed a filling he would do it? Now you go to the dentist and 99% of the work is done by the hygienist, and at the very end the dentist comes by for 1 minute to inspect?
That's the same thing that is happening in medicine.
I don't like it but that's happening more and more. Actually in some states the physician extenders can practice totally independently, not even allegedly supervised by a physician. I don't agree.
Imagine if paralegals could practice without a supervising lawyer and say they can do legal work. It's kinda like that.

We're calling it a day. In theory, we will have at least until 8 tomorrow morning. There will be updates every three hours throughout the night. But the have to stuff is done. Everything on the flat roof disconnected and tied down. Propane tank, water tank, solar water heater, internet tower. The AC compressor is still down from the last scare. We decided to just leave it down through the end of hurticane season. My wood shop pegboards are cleaned off. The inside the house stuff we'll leave, unless things change and we find ourselves in the path of a category 4.

So if I was looking to go to a different witch group, I might end up seeing nurses there, too? How could a patient find out in advance?
Yikes. Stay safe.

It's becoming the new normal in many areas.
