No kidding. In the last 3 years, not counting the pharmacy, Iāve had face to face interactions with the medical community almost 250 times. I lost count of physical therapy visits in the 60s somewhere. By now somebody should have at least upgraded this frequent medical flyer to business class. Alas, still paying for my drinks.
MAVās maybe a third of it. Still ā¦ somebody could offer me some complimentary botox or something, maybe a little plush tornado doll I could pin little birds to.
No, we donāt even get stickers, just expensive and often crappy care. That said, my caregivers do care about me and I feel well cared for, if depressingly misunderstood. You have to be your own patient advocate. Iāve challenged my insurance over denied claims several times and often pay cash when they fail me.
