The Ongoing Saga 

Back-to-back calls from a director at Anthem and a benefits senior manager at the top-level parent company. External review at Anthem triggered. Request for "full list of people who have accessed Keet's case and papedrwork" triggered. Internal "advanced medical support request" from top-level parent triggered.

Minimum timeline for relief: six weeks.
Candy bars snagged for emergency consumption: five.
Candy bars actually consumed: zero (abandoned on coworker's desk)

I have grabbed a Diet Dr Pepper as an "emergency bad-for-me choice" that's less likely to actually cause long-term bodily harm. Still bad, but less bad than more raw sugar (in theory).

Hang in there, hon. I'm proud of you for abandoning the greater of those two evils.
