Lee Mazurek had been on medication to keep his chronic disease at bay for nine years when a @Cigna employee flagged his case for review.

The company estimated it could save $98,000+ if he switched parts of his treatment plan. Then came the denial. 🧵��👇

Some dude in-game told me to go make him a sandwich and started raging when I asked if it’s because he can’t reach the counter to make it himself

Stay toxic, ladies

Anyone who blames violence on mental illness is deeply unserious about ending violence.

Murphy, a bald eagle at a bird sanctuary in Missouri, had been taking care of a rock. His keepers did not have the heart to separate them.

Then when an orphaned eaglet needed a dad, Murphy was ready to step up. https://t.co/luq3eQBjd0

Greatness is Autism Acceptance.

April is Autism Awareness Month, and we have joined our partners Dominique Wilkins and KultureCity to help raise funds, awareness, and inclusion for those with invisible disabilities.

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.

The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

I have had to use a food bank today for the first time. I never thought things would get this bad. I feel crap as a husband and father for failing my family. But I want to thank the people in the food bank. The nicest kindest people you could meet.

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 🧵

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file.

Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.

[Very General Orthopaedist @generalorthomd]

One “medical director” denied 121 THOUSAND claims in 2 months.

That’s ~ 350 claims an hour.

They’re supposed to review the medical record. This is illegal. Do something.

Hugh Grant and Ashley Graham's red carpet exchange about "Vanity Fair " (he was talking about the 1848 novel about shallow society, she thought he was referring to the 2023 magazine after party) is my favourite #Oscars moment of all time.

And so, this happened. I arrive at my gate, Amsterdam airport. The staff ask me if I got my flight wrong. They are only expecting two men, they say. I present my passport. But why does the system say you are a Dr, she asks? Shocked, I manage to utter that I am a woman and a Dr.

Today, just as the kennels opened to the public for adoptions we found Rosie snoozing away in her kennel.

She didn't greet potential adopters. She didn't bark or wag her tail. Instead, she just slept and let the people pass by her kennel as they have done for the past 643 days.
