President Obama and Congress are pushing very hard to pass their view of “Healthcare Reform” in the form of HR-3200.   We’re given bits and pieces in short sound bites from both sides of the debate, with very few real details as to what the plan will do to the delivery of medical care in our country.   What’s even more alarming is that when asked specific questions, it’s obvious that our President and our elected officials either haven’t read the legislation they’re promoting, or are lying to us.

Bariatrix Nutrition has introduced three new flavors to their line of protein bars, as part of their new “Proti-Choice” line of products.  These new products are designed to make dieting with us a little easier on your budget.  These bars are less expensive than the existing line of Proti-Bars, yet have the same high-quality taste you’d expect from Bariatrix Nutrition.   We received samples of these this week to taste test.

We now stock the reusable shopping bags from Bariatrix.

They’re $2.50 each, and can be ordered on our online order form, or if you’d like you can ask for them when you come in to pick up your order. As always, you have the option of plastic grocery bags or bringing in your own bags.

For the month of October, FAA second and third class physical examinations will be “on sale” for only $75.  We’re hoping that this will both bring in more pilots to our practice, as well as get our “numbers” up for the FAA.  When does your medical expire?   Call Kristy or Michelle for details.

We were down earlier today for a hardware update to our webserver and mailserver.  You should see a BIG increase in speed now when browsing our website.  Considering our old web/mailserver cost us a whopping $65 on e-bay four years ago, it didn’t owe us anything.    Let me know if you can see any difference.
