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

        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!

            Maybe it’s regional or something.

            I’ve at least seen/read phrases “Primary Care” and “Primary Care Physician”, but I’ve never once heard of anyone using the acronym “PCP” for it. Not until this ccomment thread.

            Asked a couple other people just now, they’d never heard it used either.

      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
