I have a question about primary care doctors
do your primary care doctors contact you once a year for check ups
I don't get any
I don't get any because it's expensive here and I tend to be lazy about it
I don't get any notice, so I don't do it after all I'm not sure if I can do it if I make an appointment myself
I know a doctor who gets my mail
I don't really like him
I'd like to change my mind
I'd like to know your situation too By the way, I'm a Japanese doctor now. Doctor.

Mine called me every six months to come in.
It is a Japanese doctor.
Thank you, but
blood tests, x-rays, and other expenses are quite expensive.
Rather than trying to find out what is wrong with me in the early stages,
I feel like he is trying to attract patients because of the decrease in patients due to the corona,

I took a chance and changed doctors.
He is a Japanese doctor.
I have not been contacted for an appointment.
But if you have a problem, he will see you remotely and quickly. I hope you find a doctor you like.

Usually, primary care doctors, gynecologists, dentists, and I make an appointment for the next year at the reception desk at the end of my visit. If it is not convenient for me because it is the next year, I can change it by phone or online (in the case of doctors in Queens, Kapiolani).
As for my daughter's pediatrician, I call and make an appointment around her birthday.
If it helps.

Since I don't get the contact, I have decided to set my birthday as the month of the inspection and do all the various checkups together in that month.

Annual checkups are not mandatory, so I think you need to manage your own appointments.

If you tell them that you are not satisfied with the customer service of your insurance and you want to change, they will find a doctor for you.

It depends on your insurance plan, so even if you want this doctor, it is impossible to change
if the doctor does not handle your insurance.

This is a continuation of my previous post about my child's blood test that showed high lead levels, so she was retested. May I ask if I may ask this frustration here ?
The results of the retest were negative, but they charged me $ 90 for the test ! The pediatrician told me that the first blood draw is done by taking blood from my finger and putting it in a container, so sometimes the wrong numbers are given. He told me that usually the numbers are 2 or less, but there were 9. The Lead Poisoning Prevention Program office called me and sent me a booklet. They said that if these lead numbers are correct, even if there are no symptoms now, there will be problems with learning ability. I was very sorry about where my child had gotten so much lead, and my husband was furious with me, and I was worried about what would happen to her life. On a slightly different note, I recently went to my family doctor's office to have a blood test done because I had severe eczema and the itching was painful. When I went to get the results, I found that I had an allergy reading. My family doctor had also ordered an allergy test at the blood test office, but no allergy test was done, and as a result, I was never able to find out what I was allergic to. By the time I went to get the results, the eczema had gone away and I was told that they would not be able to tell without taking blood when I had an allergic reaction. How is this possible ? I would appreciate any sympathy or advice here as well. I think I need to make sure that when I get a proper bill for this, I make sure that allergy testing is not included.

Well, it's different from Japanese hospitals. ?
I know you wrote that $90 is ! different from 30% of everything in Japan, so
I'd be relieved if it was less than $100.
At any rate, I'm glad everything is okay. If you distrust doctors and clinics,
just switch. It's a country where you can do that without regret.

Blood test fee $ 90 is cheap.

I had an allergy test done before, but the items were very detailed, about 100 items, and the co-pay was $ 220.
I was surprised that my insurance didn't cover it ? but
I was convinced that it clarified where my allergy was coming from.

I heard that a friend of mine had an allergy test in Japan
for 219 food sensitivities and paid 5,000 yen, 15,000 yen at 30% of the cost, so it is not an unsatisfactory medical bill.

A patch test, not a blood test, can be done even when eczema is not present, but the cause may be unknown.

Thank you for your comment !
I was frustrated because if my child did not have a blood test, it would have been a few dollars for a 2 year old check up, but $ it was 90. I had visited this pediatrician many times for other than the usual checkups, but I was not prepared for this because they always $ never charged more than 20. If I thought for sure it should be expensive $ 90 might have seemed cheap.
And the allergy test was for me, not the child, and I have not yet received a bill for it. So it may be a test that is not covered by insurance ! I will call my doctor and check before I wait for the bill !
I was wondering if there is more of a problem with the blood test lab than with the doctor's office regarding these two events. I wondered if anyone else has had problems with blood testing recently, but there doesn't seem to be any.
Thanks for reading !

#5 Mr. Worried

Maybe I wrote that wrong.
$ 220 for blood test was
$ 220 co-pay with insurance.

Without insurance $ it would be over 1000.

I know you are angry about the mismanagement of your child's blood test, but
$ 90 is good because it bought you peace of mind ?

As far as I know, blood tests are usually ordered by the doctor to the lab. The amount charged depends on what is being tested for and how many items are being tested. And I think the percentage covered depends on the type of insurance you have.

Lately, when I move my neck up and down, it hurts a lot, and the pain doesn't go away even after about a week.
I also have stiff shoulders, and my neck and shoulders hurt a lot, but this time it seems to be a little worse.
I'm thinking of going to a hospital to have it checked out, but
if I have pain in my neck, cervical spine, etc., can you recommend a hospital in Hawaii with what specific department, etc. ?
Thank you very much in advance.

It is normal to first see your primary care physician, explain your symptoms, and then have him or her contact a specialist. Even if you say you have neck/shoulder pain, it could be an internal organ or brain disorder. Please get an App as soon as possible.

I think it is an ORTHPEDIC doctor. https://oahawaii.com/

You can call the office and ask them to send you to a neck specialist, or there is a walk-in clinic that does not require an appointment at a time, so they can give you x-rays and pain meds there as well.

Stiff shoulders and neck can be a sign of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
If it is just fatigue, that is fine, but please go to the hospital and get checked out as soon as possible just to be safe.
A primary care doctor should be the first step.
Take care of yourself!

Recently, animal petting cafes from Japan have finally "landed"
in Hawaii.

With its good marketing
, it is attractive to animal lovers

and they end up going to places where they can "touch" and interact with animals.

(The cat cafe in Kaimuki is protection based
so please support us. \v966>
Other animal cafes that sell "animals that don't even know what will happen to them in their old age"
are
subject to exploitation by humans.

If you are a true animal lover
please
volunteer and touch them at the Humane Society, which is still understaffed 🙇🏻‍ ♀ ️

I agree !
When a certain Japanese animal contact cafe opened, I was very disappointed because I thought it would be protection based. My Japanese family members each have their own animals, but they are all purchased from pet stores. As long as there are a certain number of people who have a low awareness of animal protection, I think this kind of business will never go away. I am fed up with the culture that treats animals like stuffed animals just because they are cute.

I have two guinea pigs myself and don't have the capacity.
Once you take them to the Humane ・ Society,
some people will adopt them from there.
In fact, that's where I got my two current ones and my past ones.
As a fellow moll,
I hope you find a good home for them
where they can stay until the end. Please have a safe trip home.

I don't have much experience in cooking, and I tried to make cookies with pancake mix using the recipe on the box, but while baking, I panicked and opened the window all the way because there was a huge smoke-like steam-like substance that came out. I guess it was because the cookie sheet I used was Waxtex Waxed Paper ? I looked closely at the recipe instructions and saw that it was an ungreased cookie sheet. If the cookie sheet I used is the problem, is this paper for wrapping things or for microwave use and not for use in the oven?

Waxed paper is "wax paper" and
silicon-coated paper is "cookie sheet", which differ in
properties and uses.
Silicon is resistant to heat and can be used in microwave ovens and ovens by siliconizing both sides.

So use
cooking peper or parchment pepper.

Maybe the temperature was low when you baked the cookies ?
Waxed paper is paper with wax on it, so
it might have been absorbed by the cookies.

Waxed paper should be used for kneading cookie dough or wrapping sandwiches.

If you took a Fukuoka flight recently or last summer vacation, how crowded was the Fukuoka Airport Hawaiian Airlines check-in counter on the plane, at Fukuoka Airport, and on the way back to Hawaii ?

Also, when returning to Hawaii ? I am worried that I will have to push my suitcase and stroller. I usually take direct flights, so this will be my first time connecting.

I learned that public schools in Hawaii have large differences in academic achievement and environment depending on the area, and many people choose to go private.
I wish I could send my own children to a private school, but the tuition barrier is still too high and I have given up. 
I am thinking of trying a charter school, although the chances of getting in are low.
Each school has its own characteristics and is very appealing, but I was wondering if anyone who is currently attending a charter school could share their thoughts on how it is really going. Thank you in advance.

I've heard that the level of public schools in Hawaii is among the lowest in the U.S. Is the public school system wiped out ?
Do you have any recommendations for those who currently have children in public schools ?
For private schools, Iolani and Punahou are well known, but the tuition from Kinder to I think it is a little too expensive to pay for more than 10 years of tuition from Kinder.

Punahou, Iolani, and I have friends who are both teachers
I can afford the tuition because I work, but if I didn't, it would be too expensive to send them to school
My friend submits Financial Aid to send them to school
In terms of tuition, there are a lot of different patterns.
As for the quality of the school, he said, "To be honest, you don't have to worry about the quality in the elementary school.
In fact, it's not about the money, it's about the money.
In fact, rich children are more likely to have access to drugs, and they are more likely to have sexual problems at parties, etc. 
This is a problem that is likely to arise in both environments.
I think there will be a difference in the equipment used for education because there will be more money for donation, etc.
If you look back on your own life, you may get a hint
that no matter what situation you are in, if you have the will, you can make it work
. > If your child is the type that is easily influenced, he/she will not be able to get into the top ranks in both public and private schools, and will be lazy
In that sense, if he/she can learn on his/her own and has good friends, he/she will be able to work hard in any environment.

Collecting miles to use for Hawaii - Japan award tickets

Other
#1
  • こーの字
  • mail
  • 2024/03/11 12:13

I was hoping to get your comments on collecting miles to use for award tickets between Hawaii and Japan.
I would like to hear about your favorite company, how you collect miles, etc. I myself am currently collecting miles with Delta Air Lines Amex Gold, but I am considering doing so after I have used up all my current miles on award tickets.
The reasons for this are
- Delta's Amex Gold annual fee will be $ 100 => $ 150 ( $10,000 spend bonus will increase to $ 100 => $ 200 and new hotel credit $ 100, which is not bad in general ).
- I plan to use my BILT MasterCard to pay rent and accumulate points, but the airlines I can transfer points to are Hawaiian, United, and American Airline in the US.
- My destination is Nagoya, so I will be flying Delta to Haneda > Shinkansen to Nagoya is a bit inconvenient in terms of time ・ and money. On the other hand, it is possible to fly to Nagoya with JAL/Hawaiian.

Based on the above 3 points, I think that if I were to migrate, it would be to Hawaiian ~ ?.
On the other hand, I may continue to use Delta, $ consider the 200 bonus as bullet train fare, or use BILT points as Hawaiian miles for Interisland flights.

With my current Delta card, I have been earning 12,000 - 15,000 miles per year for the last few years.
I think ? the miles I get from purchases are roughly the same if I use the Hawaiian card as my main card.

Recent flights are
- Summer 2022 : Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL
- Winter 2022 : Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL, miles earned on Hawaiian
- Summer 2023 : On JAL Purchased direct flight to Nagoya with JAL, mileage credited to Hawaiian
- Winter 2023 : Awarded flight to Haneda with Delta
So, twice a year, I will return home by myself.
Seat is normal economy.

Note that the mileage requirement for a Delta Honolulu Haneda award ticket is roughly 94,000 - 104,0000 miles in Main Cabin economy.
The credit card award gives you 15% off the required miles, so it's actually 80,000 - 88,000 miles.

Of course, I understand that your destination, class of service, and usual mileage accrual are not the same, but
I would be happy to hear your opinions.

I used to enjoy traveling with miles as a UNITED miles member, but in the last couple of decades, because it costs a lot of miles and there are restrictions on the airlines you can use, I have a card that comes with CAPITAL ONE travel credit, and each time I take a ticket on an airline of my choice and I get cash back in miles.

Other credit cards probably have a similar system ? but.... I only earn miles on each airline, but I don't have a credit function on them.

Thanks for the information.
I knew the name of Capital One, but did not know about the additional features.
It is an advantage to be able to buy a ticket on an airline that suits you each time.

I have frequent flyer accounts with United, JAL, ANA, Hawaiian, and Delta, but
all but Hawaiian and Delta are dormant. It is not easy to master the mileage way.

I have never heard of Chase Sapphire Reserve.
The annual fee is high, but if you use the benefits well, it seems to pay for itself.
It is also good that you can make reservations without being tied to a single airline.
As expected, various credit card companies have come up with various services.
If I start looking into it, I will be addicted to it.
