THIS IS A MUTHA-FUCKING SHOUTING THREAD →[More:]
WHY THE FUCK AREN'T MORE PEOPLE CALLING THEIR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND
DEMANDING THAT WE GO BACK TO THE DAYS WHERE A PERSON DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY A CO-PAY EVERY TIME THEY WERE BEING TREATED BY THE SAME DOCTOR FOR THE SAME ILLNESS BUT ON DIFFERENT DAYS? I'VE ALREADY SPENT $146 ON FUCKING CO-PAYS AND CAB RIDES TO/FROM TWO DIFFERENT OPTHALMOLOGISTS IN QUEENS (ONE HERE IN FLUSHING AND A CORNEA SPECIALIST IN FOREST HILLS) AND TOMORROW, I'M GOING TO ADD $20 MORE TO THAT TOTAL. ALL BECAUSE I HAVE AN INFECTED SCRATCH ON MY CORNEA; NO, IT'S NOT A FUNGAL INFECTION AND NO, I DON'T USE MOISTURE LOC FROM RENU.
AND WHY THE FUCK AREN'T RECEPTIONISTS AT DOCTOR'S OFFICES MORE SYMPATHETIC, HMM? I FUCKING CALLED OXFORD AND TALKED TO SOMEONE ON THE PHONE AND THEY SAID I DON'T NEED A FUCKING REFERRAL FOR ANY SPECIALIST FROM MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN (WHO IS CURRENTLY ON MATERNITY LEAVE AND WHOSE RECEPTIONISTS ARE CHINESE AND CAN BARELY UNDERSTAND ENGLISH). THE PEOPLE AT OXFORD DON'T MAKE OUTGOING PHONE CALLS AND YOU WON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.... SO WHY ARE YOU GETTING ALL SNIPPY AT ME WHEN I'M TELLING YOU THAT YES, I ALREADY DID THE LEG WORK AND IT'S UP TO YOU TO FOLLOW UP? OH, SO YOU FINALLY DID CALL? AND MY CARD'S OUT OF DATE AND THEY NEED TO SEND ME A NEW ONE? WELL.... that kind of took the wind out of my sails.
