medicine, it fails us now

[substitute]

a month wait in considerable discomfort to see doc for follow-up

$500 balance there because insurance is a pathetic goatfuck

five minutes with doc, who refers me to another doc. he warns me that it can take a while to see new doc

i point out that two months of discomfort is not optimal

he agrees and prescribes an antiinflammatory

drugstore says insurance requires prior authorizatio meaning they fax my doc who then faxes back a note saying he really means it when he writes prescription

i opt to pay up front so i don't have to wait indefinitely for possible relief. cost $110

judy, a lowly clerk, out and out gives me a $30 store credit giftcard because i got screwed

conclusion: judy rules. the rest of them are quisling sellouts

Thank God for the Judys of the world.
My mom is going through similar drama with a badly pinched nerve in her lower back. I feel terrible for both of you, I don't understand why everything has to be so broken. She is seeing an acupuncturist next, out of her own pocket of course.
