It’s been a long time coming (I may be singing the tune in my head)…

@sameepsehgal9: Lung transplant is curative, but trades for a new “chronic disease”
Many medications, comorbidities, renal dysfunction and rejection issues

Children in no country, rich or poor, should die from gun violence. That we have let it happen for so long, that the numbers are only increasing, that it is becoming a norm than an exception, only points to a real societal and systemic problem. Heads should hang in shame.

1.2 sec to ⬆️ Our Suffering⁉️
📌Pure Corporate Greed
📌Repeat after me: CIGNA stinks
📌 Total SHITSHOW 💩
📌Repeat after me: Other insurance companies stink too
📌They’re making💰💰at pts’ expense of time, worry & poverty
📌We’ve GOT to raise hell
I just can’t get if off my mind since @propublica’s fab journalism story broke on a HORRIBLE topic
“Doctors” paid to reject 150,000 insurance claims a MONTH & not even open them?
Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files.
“We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”
The inside story 🧵

Insurers deny tens of millions of claims every year. ProPublica is investigating why claims are denied, what the consequences are for patients and how the appeal process really works. propub.li/3SYnxku

The Tulsa killer bought his AR-15 at 2:00, no background check, disgruntled patient went to his doctor to kill him, went to the wrong pod, killed a different doctor, assistant, found his doctor, killed him. He went hunting. Doctors were the prey. Our elected leaders allowed this.
It’s surreal being on the family side of critical illness and transplant. Rollercoaster of emotions, chronic mental exhaustion, prayers for a miracle, 3 days feel like 30. Feelings I have seen so many times from the other side of the bed. Feeling them for the first time

Today’s IDK who needs to hear this:
I can choose to protect myself, and you can choose to protect yourself, but a 4 year old with cancer, or cystic fibrosis, or diabetes, can’t get vaccinated, and likely can’t get a good fitting N95 mask. I.e. they CANT just protect themselves…
