After a 5 hour flight every joint in my body hurts. Most people dont seem to have this issue. What’s wrong with me?

          A dentist is a doctor but they aren’t going to be too helpful lmao

          Any adult American with health insurance should know what a PCP means in this context. This is not obscure or weird verbiage lol.

            A masseuse is a personal care provider, and probably useful in this situation.

            It’s a fucking stupid and unnecessary initialism, let’s be honest

            Not something ive ever heard an American say.

            GP, physician, doctor. Never “PCP”.

              I’m an American and work in healthcare. “PCP” is a common way to abbreviate “primary care physician”. Generally, it is not said out loud that way, but it is often abbreviated in forms and documentation.

              And yes, I giggle when I see it because I’m immature!

      Primary Care Physician (or Provider) is, indeed, what I think the original comment intended; however, no matter how many times I’ve been to the ER (or A&E if you’re from a more civilized country), that’s not how my brain initially interprets it.
