Deadpool and Wolverine KCAU Christmas Special
Part 2
Authors note: This part of the story has been broken up into chapters to make it an easier read and more manageable for me... fair warning, this is 2065. It's an adult Dr. James Wilson story which as you may or may not know, unless you've read my other stuff, is a Marvel and House MD crosover-vers... So come play with me in my sandbox.
New Jersey Earth-10005
Christmas time 2065
Chapter 1
It was the week before Christmas, Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital dosn't stop working for holidays. James was already having a shit day as he walked in to his office... his friend Gregory house was behind his desk, likely waiting for him or hiding from someone. You never really knew... he was on the phone with someone.
I know right, its crazy how... oh, he just walked in.
Who are you on the phone with?
Your sister Ellie, fun gal. We were just discussing your high-school years. She called for you, but I was already here so I took the call for you...
God damn it! Give me the phone...
Hello.
Hello James, your friend Greg is hilarious, I hope no one ever pays me to kill him...
Why do you always say creepy shit like that, Ellie. Can't anyone in this damn family have a normal phone conversation?
Oh, we sound a little testy today. I'll cut to the chaise... Dad wants all of us home for Christmas this year. Including you and Laura. He wants to do a whole thing... your presence... is not optional thos year. I'll see you on Monday.
Ellie thats fucking ridiculous.
I am busy. People don't stop getting sick just because it's December. I'm a doctor. i can't just take a week off without notice... I know that's a hard concept since you decided to make it your vocation to put people in hospitals or worse.
Or worse cost extra, but that's besides the point...We all make choices, little brother.
The question is, are you prepared to deal with the consequences...
You can get in the jet dad will 100% send on Monday, fly home for the week willingly
Or....
Deal with Laura when she comes to collect you along with her entourage of Xmen... I'm sure the hospital staff will love that.
I don't think they're in the business of kidnapping doctors. Laura wouldn't do that even for dad.
Well, I would... and I'll bring all my favorite armed thugs to help... Or I suppose we could do christmas in New Jersey. As long as we're all together. Right?
Eleanor... you're a bitch.
Love you too, James... oh... and don't be surprised if dad hasn't already called that Cuddy Lady...
My Boss!
You know dad, I told him you'd tell me you're busy... so he was likely proactive. She is either terrified or the proud recipient of some large donation oooor "porque no los dos" as Laura would say.
James hung up the phone. He knew Ellie was serious, when Wade Wilson set his mind to it, he was focused and rarely didn't achieve his goals... a admirable trait. Until a gang of paramilitary goons show up to kidnap you so you don't miss traditional christmas eve lasagna.
-Cut to Wilson in Cuddys office-
He'd explained to her the situation... and she was well aware of the consequences. Wilson's relationship with his father was almost as crazy as his relationship with House...
She recalled a time before she was Dean of medicine. When Wade found out Wilson had received a mediocre review... he'd used his considerable influence and threats of violence to have the accreditation board threaten to pull certification from the hospital until it was remedied...
that's actually how she got the position. The previous dean was regularly harassed any time he felt Wilson was slighted, and finally, he couldn't take it anymore and retired early... to Wilsons credit, he had no idea this was going on until Cuddy took the job. the previous dean was probably threatened into silence on the subject, too...
Cuddy was never one to be bullied and had come clean with James about all of his father's antics shortly after taking the position. Wade Wilson was dangerous, but she'd be damned if she'd let a mercenary tell her how to run a hospital
Wilson quickly put a stop to this behavior and added that Cuddy was a friend knowing that bare minimum his dad would be less threatening to one of "Kittens" friends.
She agreed to give him the week off despite late notice and the myriad of other HR and staffing problems associated with being short a doctor on one condition... he had to take Greg with him... she didn't have the time or patience to Deal with the illustrious Dr House without Wilson to help her.
By the time he'd gotten back to his office house hadn't really moved much... sitting behind Wilson's desk playing on his phone...
Don't you have a patient or something to attend to?
Actually, no... none worth my time anyway... Forman and the cute australian one can handle what is obviously subclinical measles with a secondary flu infection... vaccinate your kids... idiots.
Well, since you're not busy, I guess you'd be ok leaving early with me and packing for a trip... I'd like you to come to Kansas city with me for Christmas...
Kinda short notice to book a flight. he said suspiciously
it'll be a direct flight, Private... no TSA and probably a bottle of Dom Pérignon. he said this in a tone of playful temptation.
I thought you were Jewish?
On paper I am... I converted for Bonnie when we got married, House... you were there at the wedding... I told you this.
like I keep track of your current brand of imaginary friend that closely... I do remember that marriage ending because despite converting to Judaism, you couldn't get a grasp on the Seventh Commandment in particular
Ok, ouch.
That leads me to my next question. What makes you think I want to go with you to your weird families christmas?
Because if you don't... unless you get an interesting case soon, Cuddy said you'd be scheduled 12 hour shifts in the clinic every day next week.
Damn it...
I suppose I will go with you to the middle of bum fuck and flyover and enjoy a country christmas on the ranch with you... not like I have a choice, besides I've never really had the chance to get to know your parents. I drank so much at the last wedding. The only thing I remember of them is one of them wore a red mask... and the other looked like an angry Calvin Kline model.
Kansas City is an actual metropolitan. My parents live in a high rise, not on a ranch... and dad... can be kind of shy in large groups of people he doesn't know.
Well, since im not allowed to be unsupervised, there are worse places to be in December... like the clinic, holiday ailments are the worst. At least one person has an ornament shoved up their ass... But it beats the hell out of spending the holidays with my parents. You're lucky, really. My dad was a Marine constantly moving... or abandoning me with my grandmother.
Oh, are we playing this game? I was raised by a mentally unstable warlord with a gun fetish and his Victorian era husband the worlds grummpiest teddy bear who has knives in his hands and PTSD from the American Civil War.... and a grandmother who did more drugs than every member of the Rolling stones combined, and she liked to tell me wildly inappropriate stories... usually about my dad's banging, or how she was a sultry honey pot when she worked for MI6.
well, my grandmother beat me..
Jesus fine, you win.
on that note, Johns Hopkins didn't exactly have a good mutant biology program... if they're both genetically you parents shouldn't you *waves his hands in the air making mock magical gestures* have some power
I'm pretty sure my mutant ability is loving and tolerating reprobates and assholes.
It takes one to know one, James...
Our story ends here for now... the boys go home and pack for a week in Kansas City.
Wade had indeed arranged for a car to pick them up and take them to a private air strip where a Gulfstream G700 was waiting for them
Fancy!
Trust me, it gets old quick.

Hey I wanna be a phlebotomist, any advice on how to go about this being a high school drop out? Does it pay well?
i took a class on it. my class wasnt the best but i have work experience now anyway so its less important
it is so hard to get a job starting out. everyone struggles. id recommend plasma/blood donation places as a first job, because thats the easiest to get in. i did that first and now work at a hospital
pay really depends. i have a weekend differential and overtime and am making pretty good money for someone who doesnt have several years behind me. theres also often the possibility for raises. however, given our particular skillsets, we are still pretty underpaid. however, to be fair, thats just how the economy is right now (thanks capitalism)
most jobs unfortunately require a high school diploma or a ged, and this includes phlebotomy. i dont even think you can take courses in it unless you have a diploma/ged, so consider that
i work 12s as well and its not bad. i get 8hrs of overtime per pay period, which is nice. 12s seem daunting and maybe it was an easier adjustment because i worked up from 10s, but its nice having several weekdays off. i also have a biweekly schedule. but if you dont like long shifts, you can work up to an outpatient center eventually. i dont see myself ever working 5 8s again though
you do eventually want to get certified. theres two certifying bodies and they both require a certain number of capillaries and venipunctures. i personally have to have a year of full time phlebotomy experience to be eligible for the certificate test but im working on it, i already have the sticks (10 capillaries and 30 venipunctures). if you take an accredited course, you can skip the year part

I was wondering, if Huchu attempted cognitive behavior therapy then how did he run those sessions in terms of what did he do to try to help the others? Considering you wrote that, in doing so he caused the others to "internalize their problem to the point they cannot be helped anymore including himself". Also, did he think he could be like a psychiatrist (or at least provide similiar service) due to the fact that psychiatrists work with medicine?
I hope my question is clear enough. If not, feel free to ask what I am trying to ask (^^)
Thank you for tuning in to my frequency! The answer contained potentially triggering contents, so I'll hide it under the cut. Please enjoy. ✨
Huchu’s Qualifications
Huchu has bachelor's degree in neuroscience, master's degree in Pharmacy. D. and is currently studying PHD on medical instrumentation engineering. Aside from taking class, he’s a neurosurgeon at marine corps hospital, take shift as a battlefield surgeon at marine camp and use the rest of his free time to operate Lubi service so he has the following active licenses, Pharmacist license and P&S license.
In Northland, here’s the requirements for attaining psychiatrist certification: Be a graduate of an accredited medical school certified by International Red cross committee, complete all trainings in a program approved by Northland mental care bureau, have an active, full, unrestricted medical license, and have satisfactorily completed the Northland mental care bureau’s specialty training requirements.
So do keep in mind that Huchu is not qualified to do psychiatrist work as he lacks item 2 and 4.
Does Huchu think he is qualified to do psychiatrist works?
Unfortunately, yes. Despite lacking all the correct trainings, he tried to be both therapist and psychiatrist for C2ISTAR as you can see Hongcha mentioning Huchu being the one who prescribed Risperidone for Angae in [🌹for Angae].
This is because Huchu think that Clinical Psychology is like Neuroscience but less scientific. Similar to our world, neuroscience is praised as the hardest medical major in the world. So naturally Huchu look down on psychology as an easier neurology mixed with social study. So, in his little head. If mental care staffs can do it, then definitely neurosurgeon can do it too.
Clinical Psychology in the world of C2ISTAR
In the world of C2ISTAR, Mental illnesses are usually deemed as invalid illness, so the mental care industry is constantly being look down upon. The discrimination also discourages many people in this world from studying clinical psychology. Even if Huchu open his mind and take studying clinical psychology seriously, it is still very unlikely that he will produce good result as study material for clinical psychology in this world is ineffective at best from the very beginning due to the lack of interest this world has toward it.
The acceptable branches of psychology are study by the industrial, intelligence and defense service for the purpose of manipulation, interrogation and indoctrination which is very different from clinical psychology in practice.
Clinical psychology is also heavily associated with the Aldehyde cult. A multi-faith cult that believes mental illness is a sign of ascension. The more soldiers lose touch with reality, the closer they are to heaven and if they are close enough to heaven. These soldiers will be able to give birth to the new Angel that will be savior to their world. They often kidnapped veteran from asylum so they can use these veterans to birth a new Angel.
Huchu's treatment on C2ISTAR
Huchu might be well intention and most faults mainly resulted from ignorance, but the damage is still there. In fact Huchu is actually skeptical that CBT would produce result, however, C2ISTAR seems to need it and Huchu is weak to that. Here are the treatments Huchu did on each C2ISTAR alongside its effects.
Orenji’s treatment
Orenji is Huchu's first patient for CBT service with his main problem being Paruresis. Huchu choose Journaling and Cognitive restructuring technique for him. However, the underlying root of Orenji's Paruresis is Urolagnia so Orenji can't quite be honest with his thought. However, the cognitive restructuring is somewhat almost effective due to the other physical treatment. Orenji had chronic UTI that connected with bladder infection, so Huchu often insert catheter for Orenji whenever he needs it. This seems to cause Orenji to associate Huchu with relieve, hence the reason why he can go when Huchu is around. But can't quite do the same with someone else. Orenji also seems to develop some form of incontinence whenever Huchu is around.
Huchu also lose his temper every time Orenji induced temporary amnesia on himself because he knows how fragile Orenji's brain is as he was the one who put Orenji's brain and sculp back together so he's constanly worries about Orenji accidentally killing himself but since Huchu always arrive with Clozapine, he had been unknowingly endorsing Orenji's behavior. Still, after Orenji is back to his sense. He would have to endure a session of outburst Huchu throwing things at him or start hitting him with a chair.
Baegcha/Hongcha’s treatment
The main method is Role playing through puppet activity; the idea was so that Beagcha could see why he need to stop pursuing his stop-list so they can start working on his fear of touch. Usually when a certain method doesn't work, therapist would move on to the next one, but Huchu let Beagcha continue with the ineffective method because this is what Beagcha prefer to do and Huchu doesn't have the heart strip this away from him. Huchu later resort to locking Beagcha in his room whenever Huchu notices things are taking a toll on him and simply use puppet therapy as a way for Baegcha to process what he went through each hunt.
Huchu also deemed Hongcha to be something he need to get rid of because Huchu see Hongcha as the evil alter that endorse Baegcha to pursue the stop-list. The thing is that, neither Baegcha nor Hongcha are the host. Both Baegcha and Hongcha are alters pretending to be the host. Usually alters are protective of each other and take responsibility as a system. However, Huchu intervention had created a dynamic where both alters cannot get along. And because Beagcha trusted Huchu, he begun to think he needs to repress Hongcha to be better and Hongcha became bitter toward the situation, he blamed Huchu for his sour relationship with his alter.
When Hongcha appear mid-session, Huchu would either shock him with electricity or shove him into a small box to chase him away. Huchu did made many attempts to get rid of Hongcha ranging from submerging him in extremely cold water to purposely staving him and since Hongcha is unaware that it is impossible to get rid of an alter. Hongcha see Huchu’s attempts as life threatening situation and in retaliation, he believes that he must kill Huchu which make Baegcha agreed with Huchu even more.
Seoltang’s treatment
After discovered that sedative doesn't work on Seoltang. Huchu would mainly use Imagery and Relaxation training. However, the underlying cause for Seoltang's insomnia is cumulative anxiety of being in disguise. Something Seoltang cannot tell anyone due his true identity. Huchu had no idea about Seoltang's anxiety, so he had no idea why Seoltang sleep schedule doesn't improve not to mention that imagery make him feel worse as it worsens his longing for the place that no longer exist.
Out of concern as Seoltang already show all signs of developing Alzheimer, Huchu decided that any methods that give Seoltang shut eyes will suffice and purposed the hypoxia idea. So instead of having his anxiety treated and get an actual sleep, Seoltang ended up inventing so many self-choking methods that even people with choking fetish would think that this man is a freak. Thus, Seoltang's anxiety was never addresses not to mention that one of hypoxia common symptoms is also anxiety which contribute to his mood swing getting worse as well.
Noeu’s treatment
Noeu is way too shy to address that his overworking tendency came from his constant fear of unexpected death, so Huchu assumed that Noeu is obsessed with conquest and taking control. This led to Moral reconation therapy. However, Moral reconation therapy required to be practiced in groups as one on one session can reinforces narcissistic behavior. Somethings that should not be mixed with Noeu’s competitiveness and ambition.
The therapy also required the therapist to be well versed in the subject of morality to work which Huchu’s morality is ambiguous at best so he can’t always keep up with Noeu’s questions or leaps of logic. This unintentionally validated Noeu’s thought derailment and prompted him to go from weakening other nations then have Northland invade them to the exact same thing but also profiting from them and take advantage of their resources because he’s more confident in his ideal than ever and he now genuinely think he’s doing this world a favor.
Angae’s treatment
Usually, therapist would approach patient with hallucination with Reframing technique. Something that Angae had already accomplish on his own. This is because managing a psychosis episode with medication was proven less effective as medication came with side effect. However, due to Huchu being a neurosurgeon with neurology logic. He goes straight to prescribing Risperidone and focus more on helping Angae with anxiety using Stress inoculation training. However, Angae didn't stress out because he's worrying about having an episode. He has an episode because he's stressed out, so Angae made no progress and Huchu had been accidentally gaslighting Angae into thinking that he had an illness he didn't have.
Angae already questioned reality around him, so he is unsure how valid his opinion is about the topic. This led to Angae letting Huchu continue with the treatment that make no sense to him even though this fueled the thought that he's being held back to fit into a certain explanation.
Yuseong’s treatment
A lot of people with Hyperthemesia has tendency to be obsessed over things easily as well as having trouble moving on from the past because they had trouble forgetting things. So Huchu choose Metacognitive therapy and Distraction technique. Due to the confusion that came with partial amnesia combined with the fact that Yuseong never experience forgetting stuffs before, Yuseong is desperate to seek for things he can identify himself with. This led to his obsession to connecting his identity with the unhealthy diary, something Huchu sees as a form of delusion.
Usually, the first rule of dealing with delusional patient is to validate their experience. Although what happen isn't real to us, it's real to the patient. However, due to Huchu's concern of Yuseong recreating situation in the diary. Huchu usually react very sternly and outright dismissed Yuseong’s belief in the session. Since Yuseong can control his expression well, Huchu had no idea that he is invalidating Yuseong. Although Yuseong still likes Huchu, he began to pay less attention to the session and draw or play with his alphabet book whenever Huchu is holding a session for him. He also hold on to the diary even tighter than before.
Effect of failed treatment on Huchu
Therapy is a stressful and draining job, both therapist and psychiatrist in real life are trained and educated on how they can handle their job without intaking their patient's baggage.
But since Huchu never went through these training, all the negativity goes straight to him and since he is at the end of the line for mental comfort. Combine that with his habit of caring too much, he got stuck in a position where he himself has no one to go to for all the problems above he involves himself in. This of course fueled his urge to go through with unethical method to get what he wants for instead, considering amputating Noeu so he never has to worry about him arriving at ER with seizure again.
.....................................................
Clinical psychology is one of my weaker subjects, so the treatment descriptions are simplified at best and none of my statements should be considered scientifically accurate.
Still, I hope this information suffice you. \(^^ )✨

Sorry if this is being too nosy but do you have a career in medical billing and coding? Do you have any advice if you do? I work in the insurance department at a dentist office for and was very interested in this as a new opportunity.
I do! I just started my job at the beginning of March - technically I don't have my certification yet, I'm taking the exam next week. But I have gotten familiar with a lot of aspects of it from my class and job as well as personal research, so I can help you out at least a bit. I'm also going to make this fairly general to help anyone who wants to learn about it, but I'll say everything I'm talking about only applies to America; I have no idea what this field looks like in other countries.
I'll start with the very basics of how it works. So, "medical coding and billing" is a fairly broad and pretty overlooked field, especially the coding side. They're technically two separate jobs with very different roles, but they have a lot of overlap, you can't really do one without doing at least a little of the other. They deal with taking doctors' reports, making sure the information is listed correctly, turning them into properly-formatted insurance claims, and sending them out to insurances.
Both fields work with code sets published by various organizations. If you work in a dental office, you're probably at least vaguely aware of CDT, the Current Dental Terminology code set published and maintained by the ADA for dental treatment procedures, and also possibly the ICD-10, a set of diagnoses codes published by the WHO and edited for use in America by the CMS and the National Center for Health Statistics (under the name ICD-10-CM). CDT is the dental equivalent (because dentists are such special widdle boys) to the AMA's CPT code set. Two others commonly used are HCPCS (standards published by Medicare, mostly related to medical equipment and substances) and ICD-10-PCS (a third separate procedure set, mostly used in hospitals). Any given claim will use at least two of these code sets; an ICD-10-CM code to describe the patient's issues or other reasons for visiting, and procedural codes to describe what was done during the visit.
The differences are mostly in what side of insurance you fall on. Medical coders are the buffer zone between providers and insurance. We take a doctor's report, and then break it down into all of the relevant codes (following both the standards set by the coding guidelines and for specific insurances); we list out what they did with procedural codes, and why they did it with diagnostic codes. We also act as the first line of defense against insurance mistakes, checking for patient eligibility and for any errors in documentation. The claims are then sent to the insurances by billing, who track claims made by the provider and ensure that they're paid in full, and that improperly rejected claims are corrected and resent if possible.
Certifications are a very important aspect of coding and billing as a career. The American Association of Professional Coders (AAPC) (https://www.aapc.com/) is by far the biggest source of coding/billing certificates, especially the core CPC and CPB certs, like the one I'm getting. Dental coding, unfortunately, seems to be a lot more opaque, especially to me as someone with no experience in it. It looks like the ADA itself has a course (https://ebusiness.ada.org/Education/viewcourse.aspx?id=412), but there's also a group called the American Dental Coders Association (https://www.adcaonline.org/) which seems to be an AAPC equivalent group for dentistry, but I've seen some mixed things online and I have no idea how accredited they are. I'd say, if you have the opportunity, ask some coworkers who are in coding what they did to get started in the field. Otherwise, if you'd like to go into general medical coding, the AAPC is your best bet.
As for actually getting /into/ the course, you could certainly just… pay for the course on your own and take it through AAPC/ADCA, but there's likely a need for more coders in your office, and having coding knowledge is useful for someone in insurance anyways. I would do research to figure out which course is the best, and then see if you can get your office to cover your tuition. It's a win-win; you get a coding certification, and they get a new coder. For people besides anon, there's some other possibilities too. Community or medical colleges in your area will likely have some certification course open; in my case, I went through a state-sponsored job assistance program which got me into one of those. Look for things like that in your community that can help you out.
I hope this was helpful! It's a very interesting field, and I'm glad it interests you enough to ask. Don't hesitate to send any more questions my way if you need to, and good luck!

“Sayuri Roe,” 23 (Japan 2016)
Japan’s Mizuguchi Hospital (which is actually licensed as a clinic) has quite a reputation for luxury. It advertises itself as “providing haute couture philosophy of custom fashion design to the birthing process, with its total birth coordinators catering to guests’ specific, individual needs during both prenatal and postnatal care, as well as the delivery itself.” Patients are referred to as guests and are offered birth plans named after royalty.
But there’s a darker side to Mizuguchi. Although it does offer actual prenatal, birth and postnatal medical care, abortions have also been conducted at the facility.
“Sayuri” (real name was not given) was a 23-year-old pregnant newlywed who went to Mizuguchi on July 8, 2016– just two days after her wedding. She was promised not only safety but luxury when she was scheduled to undergo a “safe and legal” surgical abortion.
Abortion is legal up to a certain point in Japan, but surgical abortion procedures can only be performed by abortionists accredited by prefectural medical associations under the Maternal Protection Law. Officials at Mizuguchi were aware that the abortionist who conducted a dozen abortions there between May and September did not have this certification, but hid this information from their clients.
Sayuri underwent the abortion on July 8 and died on July 14. Her husband was devastated.
According to the Japan Times, Sayuri’s husband filed a criminal claim against the Mizuguchi Hospital that same month. In the claim, the unnamed husband and his lawyer said the abortionist was not accredited to do abortions, and Mizuguchi hid information from them about this.
“I have no words to express my anger,” the husband, 26, said. “I hope they will be severely punished. We were supposed to live happily together and this happened in less than two weeks (after getting married).”
The police investigated and Mizuguchi released a statement including an apology and a confession that officials were aware of the abortionist’s lack of credentials.
The following October, the abortionist who killed Sayuri and her baby quit working at Mizuguchi. For Sayuri, her husband and her baby, it was too little too late.
(If you think you know who Sayuri is and would like to help share her story, please DM me.)

Hey there! I was wondering if you would be willing to tell me how one goes about becoming a cat behavioral specialist. Like, where would you get your certification or even classes? I've tried googling but everything looks pretty unofficial or not completely recognized by like... Idk a vet board or something? And beyond that, how would one go about getting jobs for the first time before being credentialed? Sorry if this is a bit of an odd ask, this is just something I've hesitated in pursuing for a long time but definitely want.
If you want an official title, I was able to get mine through ABI. I was also looking around and ABI actually had functional animal behaviorists teaching classes and they're accredited. The classes I took were legitimate and felt just like the online college and university courses I had taken. The testing was more similar to the vocational school I had attended, in that even if you do all of your work and get 100%'s on your homework, you still have to pass your exams or else you don't pass your class.
Unfortunately you'll have professionals who either believe you or don't. I signed up with ABI because they required more in-person volunteer hours at the time, and I had to prove that I was at the shelter taking care of the cats there and learning from experienced shelter workers. Regardless of the school I was attending, folks couldn't doubt that I had spent countless hours at the shelter and working in rescues.
None of that obviously guarantees jobs. I'm currently unemployed/disabled and running a tumblr blog with no income (casually pointing out my Kofi), so the letters at the end of my name don't really mean much when it's hit or miss if a veterinarian is going to believe me or respect my credentials. Basically I went with the most accredited and official animal behavior school and still get doubted. There's a whole conversation about schools and scams in the United States that goes into your concern over legitimacy but that turns into Old Cat Behaviorist Yells At Cloud so I'll just leave it at that.
If you REALLY want to become an animal behaviorist through the Most Squeaky Clean and Guaranteed Path to a Job method, it requires you to become a Veterinarian first and then spend your time focusing on animal behavior studies as your specialty. As far as I know, there is an animal behavior hospital somewhere in Pennsylvania (U.S. - Philly specifically I think?) that focuses on behavioral veterinary practices, so I imagine there should be others, but any school of veterinary medicine should be able to either provide that for you or help you go that route. But if you want to become a feline behaviorist to be more of a Jackson Galaxy figure, unfortunately that's a matter of business knowledge I just don't have. There are local cat conventions I see advertised and I imagine those would be a great place to canvas for possible clients.

Planning Your Medical Travel: Tips for Choosing the Right Destination
Medical tourism, the practice of traveling abroad to seek medical treatment, has become increasingly popular over the years. This is due to a number of factors such as rising healthcare costs in developed countries, long waiting times, and the availability of advanced medical technologies in other countries. However, choosing the right destination for medical travel can be a daunting task. In this blog, we will discuss some tips for choosing the right destination for your medical trip.
https://healthtrip.com/
Research the destination’s healthcare infrastructure
The first thing you need to do when considering a destination for medical travel is to research the country’s healthcare infrastructure. You should look for countries that have a robust healthcare system, with modern facilities and qualified medical professionals. You can find this information through online research, by talking to people who have traveled for medical purposes, and by consulting with a medical travel agent.
Check for accreditation and certification
When considering a medical travel destination, you should check if the hospital or clinic you are considering is accredited and certified. This means that the facility has met certain standards of quality and safety. Accreditation and certification can be obtained from various international organizations, such as Joint Commission International (JCI), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the Medical Tourism Association.
Consider the language barrier
If you’re traveling to a foreign country for medical treatment, you should consider the language barrier. Make sure that you are able to communicate effectively with your healthcare provider. Look for facilities that offer translation services or have staff that can speak your language. You can also consider bringing a friend or family member who can act as a translator.
Research the cost of treatment
One of the main reasons people travel for medical treatment is to save money. However, it’s important to do your research and compare the cost of treatment in different countries. Make sure that you factor in the cost of travel, accommodation, and other expenses. You should also check with your insurance provider to see if they cover medical treatment abroad.
Consider the destination’s culture and customs
When traveling for medical treatment, it’s important to be aware of the destination’s culture and customs. This can help you to avoid any cultural misunderstandings or faux pas. You should also research the local customs and laws related to healthcare and medical treatment.
Consult with your doctor
Before making any decisions about medical travel, you should consult with your doctor. They can help you to determine if traveling for medical treatment is safe and appropriate for your condition. They can also provide you with information about the risks and benefits of the treatment you are considering.
Look for patient reviews and testimonials
Reading reviews and testimonials from other patients who have received treatment at the facility you are considering can be a valuable source of information. This can help you to get a better understanding of the quality of care and the patient experience. You can find patient reviews on websites such as Yelp, Google, and Facebook, as well as on the facility’s own website.
Consider the distance and travel logistics
The distance and travel logistics to your chosen medical travel destination should also be considered. This includes the length of the flight, transportation to and from the airport, and the distance between the medical facility and your accommodation. You should also factor in the time required for recovery after your treatment, as you may need to extend your stay.
Check for visa requirements
Before making any travel arrangements, you should check if a visa is required for entry into the destination country. Some countries have visa requirements for medical travelers, while others do not. You should also make sure that your passport is valid and up to date.
Seek advice from a medical travel agent
If you are unsure about which destination to choose, you can seek advice from a medical travel agent. These agents specialize in medical travel and can provide you with information and advice on the best destinations for your specific needs. They can also help you to make travel arrangements and coordinate your medical treatment.
Consider the availability of follow-up care
It’s important to consider the availability of follow-up care when choosing a medical travel destination. Make sure that the facility you choose has a plan in place for post-treatment care, including any necessary follow-up appointments or check-ups. You should also make sure that you have access to medical professionals in your home country for ongoing care and monitoring.
Look for specialty facilities
If you have a specific medical condition or need, you should look for facilities that specialize in treating that condition. This can increase the likelihood of receiving the best possible care and treatment outcomes. You can find specialty facilities by researching online or consulting with medical travel agents.
Consider the climate and environment
The climate and environment of your chosen medical travel destination can also play a role in your recovery and overall experience. Make sure that the climate and environment are conducive to your condition and that you will be comfortable during your stay. You should also consider any environmental factors that may affect your treatment or recovery, such as air pollution or altitude.
Research the legal system and patient rights
When traveling for medical treatment, it’s important to be aware of the legal system and patient rights in your chosen destination. Make sure that you understand the laws and regulations related to healthcare and medical treatment, as well as your rights as a patient. You should also research the facility’s policies on patient privacy and medical record keeping.
Plan for potential complications
While medical travel can be a safe and effective option, it’s important to plan for potential complications. Make sure that you have a contingency plan in case of unexpected complications, such as medical emergencies or unexpected delays. You should also consider purchasing travel insurance that covers medical treatment and emergency evacuation.
In conclusion, choosing the right destination for medical travel requires thorough research and consideration of several factors. By taking the time to plan and prepare for your medical travel, you can ensure a safe and successful experience. Remember to consult with healthcare professionals and medical travel agents, and to prioritize your health and safety throughout the process.

The Wild West of NP Telemed Practice
Telemedicine is currently the wild west. It has attracted attention from IT, finance and medical professionals. Every one of them would like to open a virtual store and garner the next pot of gold. What does that mean for the health care providers who are accepting positions to see and treat clients/patients?
Firstly, I would like to reiterate that I am not a legal expert, and this is not meant to be any legal advice. I am a nurse practitioner who has worked with start-ups during this time of exponential growth and I have seen some good, bad and ugly practices. I am always practicing defensively and am just sharing some of what I have learned.
I took a position with a very new start up company that was, in part, owned by a physician. The HR department sent me collaborations for all states I was to be practicing in. Unfortunately, they sent the same document for all 21 states. I notified the owner of the difference between states and that I could not take patients in any of the states that required a more formal or a different process. We eventually worked it out, but if I had not known about the state requirements of practice in those states, it would not have been legal for me or the collaborating MD. I tell this story not to scare you — although it should — but to help you all understand the importance of knowing for yourself the requirements for each individual state.
In a previous blog, I shared Florida’s Q&A pamphlet about independent practice. If you read it, you saw that there were quite a few gray areas. These gray areas can cause a lot of concern for the practicing NP. That is why knowing what is and isn’t allowed in each state is so vital. In 2008 The Consensus Model for Advanced Practice Nurses was created to address inconsistent standards in APRN education, regulation, and practice, which limited APRN mobility from one state to another. The goal is to standardize licensure, accreditation, certification, and education. It is an important read. You can find it here: https://www.ncsbn.org/public-files/Consensus_Model_for_APRN_Regulation_July_2008.pdf
Here are some tips that I have found handy in navigating this difficult process of multi-state licensure:
Practice to your educational limit. What I mean by that is if you are an adult NP, do not see children. FNPs should not venture into the psych or the hospital realm without education in both. One of the interesting points of the Consensus Model is that experience does not trump education. If you are practicing outside of your educational foci — you must obtain education for it. I understand that I will get some slack about that, but picture the end result of an error: how will the NP discuss the educational preparedness for the decisions made with the patient?
Practice to your collaboration only. Only prescribe medications according to what is in that legally binding contract. Only see patients described in the contract. Do not ever prescribe out of that contract.
Practice to the state requirements. If you need a collaboration then obtain it. Find out if you need to send anything back to the state when collaboration is obtained. If you need to apply to the state directly for prescriptive authority or collaboration then do that. Also, do not practice until you have the OK to do so from the state. If you can practice independently then find out what the limits are. Every state has limits. One of the consensus model’s intentions was to smooth the transition of NPs working in different states. This would take a lot of the questions of practice away.
Know the nursing board policy for every state you are licensed in. In these times of start-ups, you need to be the expert in your license. This can be made easier by joining the board associations for the states.
Working for start ups is fun and exciting. Helping people through telemedicine is rewarding, but like in an airplane with oxygen, you must protect yourself and your license first.
Thank you,
Kate Cordisco
