Eliminating bodily waste is an act of nature -- like breathing. We as dog owners must understand All Rights Reserved that he doesn’t care where he goes -- we care. Thus, it is our job to teach him what we want. And so we must first make a choice: outside or inside?

Housebreaking your puppy means he goes outside and only outside. Paper training entails Tidbits® Word Search teaching him to go inside the house, in a specific area. I strongly recommend housebreaking. Once a “Ch-Ch-Challenge” dog gets the go ahead to eliminate inside, it’s difficult to switch gears.

Depending on Medicaid for Health Care

The Department of Health and Human Services was asked to survey three things from lists of Medicaid health-care providers:

1. learn which providers could offer appointments to those with Medicaid.

2. Assess the wait times for care.

3. Find any differences between the availability between primary-care providers and specialists.

The results aren’t pretty.

Half of providers could not offer appointments, either because they weren’t at the location where they were listed (43 percent), or because they weren’t participating in the plan or because they weren’t taking new patients (8 percent). Some providers couldn’t be found: No one had heard of them, or they had retired or left years ago.

For those not accepting new patients, they were retiring, they had too many patients already or they were tired of all the no-shows for appointments.

Of those providers who did offer appointments, the median wait time was two weeks, but one-fourth had appointment times more than a month away. Ten percent only offered appointments more than two months away. (Most of states have requirements that patients be able to get care within one month.)

But it gets worse: Some providers who were accepting new patients wouldn’t give an appointment date without first having more information about the patient. Some wouldn’t make an appointment without seeing the patient’s records.

Others wouldn’t accept patients with certain medical conditions. One wouldn’t see patients who were overweight.

When it came to primary-care versus specialists, primary care providers were less likely to give an appointment. However, to get in to see a specialist took twice as long. Some took the winter off; some only worked a few days a week.

As of last year, 69 million people depended on Medicaid, and they’re depending on inaccurate lists of providers when they’re seeking care.

If your doctor determined that the cause is alcohol, then I’m afraid I have to agree that no amount of alcohol is safe. Drinking even modest amounts of wine, even months or years later, could bring about pancreatitis again.

In addition to the pain and suffering that go with an episode, the more episodes of acute pancreatitis you have, the more likely you are to develop chronic pancreatitis (with constant pain), pancreatic insufficiency (leading to inability to properly digest food) and worsen your diabetes. ***

Thrift Store Treasure Hunting Recreational

Q:

Q:

Our elderly mother spends at least one day a week shopping in thrift and dollar stores. She comes home with sacks of "treasures," which usually turn out to be things she really doesn’t need. She also buys numerous toys for her grandchildren. We believe she spends too much money with this constant buying habit. Should we try to discourage this wasteful spending routine she's in?

One of my pet peeves is arriving at the doctor’s office on time for my appointment, only to find that I have to wait because he is running behind schedule -- and this always seems to be the case. When he sees me, it’s obvious he’s needing to catch up. I feel this is inconsiderate and rude to his patients and I'm not receiving the attention I deserve and am paying for. Am I wrong by thinking this way?

A:

I know from my own experience what you’re talking about. Frequently, doctors grab your chart, review your last visit, and then proceed to ask patients, “So, how are you doing?” But if a patient is

While it’s understandable that you’re prepared and brings a written list of their ailments, he concerned about your mother’s habits, you must can get right to the problem. Otherwise, it takes time keep in mind that how she chooses to spend her to probe and learn how the patient has progressed time and her money is entirely her choice. In many since the last visit. Doctors are on the clock and do ways thrift shopping can be a form of recreation, and not have time to chit-chat about your vacation, family apparently it is for her. She obviously enjoys herself affairs or golf game.

Some patient visits also require more inwith these little mini-sprees and finds it satisfying to buy inexpensive toys and trinkets that she can give depth discussion than others. It wouldn’t be ethical or fair to patients with urgent problems to rush to others.

A lot of the fun in shopping through thrift through their visit just because another patient is It could well be that the day is coming when stores is in the hunt itself. ADVERTISING You never know what waiting.PROOF you will be the patient who needs treasures you’re going to find!

Grandmother’s Mystery Plate

Early 20th Century Jug was made in Czechoslovakia.

Q:

Enclosed is a photo of a plate decorated with a scene of “Washington Crossing the Delaware.” I inherited it from my grandmother Julia, who died in 1963 at the age of 99. She loved this plate, and I know nothing about it or where it came from. The border that surrounds the scene is cobalt blue, and the scalloped edge is trimmed with gold. Marked on the back is a crown above a wreath with the words “Empire China.” Also, below that is the number “4061.”

Any information you can provide will be appreciated.

A:

In 1918 the Czechs and the Slovaks separated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and formed one country: Czechoslovakia. It consisted of several provinces that included parts of Bavaria, Moravia, Bohemia and Silesia. Czechoslovakia was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1938 to 1945. It was under Soviet Russia control from 1948 to 1989. After the “Velvet Revolution,” when the two parts decided to separate in 1993, it peacefully became two sovereign countries again. They are now the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Many pottery, porcelain and
