The ongoing health insurance saga (bad but amusing!)
The group that handles the "external review" part of the claim denial appeal process had one of their doctors call me for evaluation, but he:
• hadn't read my file
• confused me with another patient from earlier in the day)
• didn't help me make my case to Anthem
• suggested three additional treatments: ECT (the evolved offspring of shock treatment), a drug that sounds like a Pokémon, and the amazingly dubious "Fisher-Wallace Stimulator"
The ongoing health insurance saga (bad but amusing!)
To be clear, I'm okay with the concept of ECT, but I already have attention-disorder-related memory issues and thus it's already contraindicated.
I'm also okay with drugs being named like Pokémon, but this would be a drug to stack on top of another drug to "augment" it and we've already established that such meds don't work right on me.
That third thing... well, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_Wallace_Laboratories and you be the judge, eh?
Such nonsense.
