Hi all

I've been in the country for around a year and still trying to get the hang of the healthcare system here. Ive been going to one doctor in Manhattan and he tried to sell me weight loss drugs, vitamins and all kinds of things I really don't need.

The one preventative drug I had in the UK, he will only prescribe me 30 days worth. I then have to call and he charges me each time to refill. I've had this drug before in the US (Boston) on repeat prescription but he refuses to do this.

I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a decent Primary Care Physician who listens and won't try and sell me everything.

Thanks!

Hey all!

I am from Scotland but I live in Astoria.

​

Scotland have qualified for the world cup for the first time since 1998 and our first game is tonight against Haiti. Kick off is 9PM.

​

We have an unfortunate overlap with the Knicks game -Terrible timing. Slim chance here but are there any bars showing the game?

​

I would watch at home but Verizon is down in my area until at least 5:15AM tomorrow morning. Terrible timing again!

​

Thanks all and good luck to the Knicks tonight!
