@Cadillac @Melissacreter @cadillac you don’t regret to hear sentiments like this. You only regret that it was posted on social media. When my husband and I tried to get this repaired we hit a brick wall at every turn. We have not gotten any of the services that Cadillac claims to offer to their customers

@Melissacreter @GM @Cadillac Thank you Lis! I love that Cadillac but after this issue and the lack of response to get it repaired. I’m far more impressed with Lincoln/Ford. I’m going back to Lincoln.

@bennyjohnson WOW!! I’m not a fan either but you guys are mean. Everyone has accidents, everyone can fall or stumble. Seems he may have caught his sneaker in the pedal. As much as I don’t like him, I hope he didn’t get hurt. I wouldn’t wish him ill either.

@NeemaMD @danjaxsn Well they are doctors so I’m pretty sure they can use the title whether it’s in an emergency or not….

@frankifur @AndrewF45894618 @ethelina8 The harm is that you are taking away resources for a non emergent call which means someone who really has an emergency isn’t going to get the help in a timely manner. EMS is not a taxi service. They are first responders and there service should not be abused.

@JAFERDIAN Too bad you didn’t tell him to go to the airport for his “emergency”

@MartyMakary People did see it in real time. But the Governor mandated it and DOH enforced it. If you tried to push back in anyway you were censored immediately. Prominent docs who went against anything related to Covid were shut down and demonized. So what would you have done differently?

@wellbeeing2021 @CartlandDavid Yes they have been sued. But never for vaccine related injuries. They have been sued for oral medications. There are a few reasons why but the main one is the difficulty in proving the injury or death was related to that particular vaccine.

@lseegert @healthreporters I agree,insurers,healthcare providers, all need to be accountable. Insurance companies dictate who you can go to, what services you can have, what meds you can have, whether your procedure will be in or out pt,etc. No impact there. The change/impact needs to be on the process.

[laurie blom @lblomrn]

@lseegert @healthreporters On occasion I’ve had insurance case managers reach out to me but for the most part I don’t see them helping much. The process, especially for joint pts needs to start in the surgeons office. That’s a set process and they should be able to instruct/help pts on each step.

[laurie blom @lblomrn]

@lseegert @healthreporters I don’t know where you are located but the ortho office should have helped with the auth for your outpatient PT. That should not have been on you. Even though you aren’t CJR, the surgeon is still responsible for your recovery for 30 days and is responsible for outcomes.

@lseegert @NextAvenue Everyone should know their DC plan. Everyone should have a support person. Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurance all have appeal rights. Ambulatory surgery, ED, Observation, NO appeal rights. Medicare important message is given on admit and again at DC. CMS guidelines.

[laurie blom @lblomrn]

@lseegert @healthreporters It's not care coordination that was lacking, it was your insurance. Managed Medicare and commercial insurances will all require auths for everything.The CJR program works smoothly because it is Straight Medicare which never requires an auth. More to this but not enough space.

@asrik @edfitzgeralduk @ai_clayton Think about your response. What’s the purpose of chemo? It’s to destroy cancer cells but it also destroys good cells in the process. People on chemo get very ill because it’s a poison (literally). So yes graphene is part of the chemical make up that helps destroy the cells

#BWH
Saw on the news a young man needing a heart transplant at BWH. They are now refusing to do it because he isn’t vaccinated. This young father is being denied a life saving procedure over a vaccine! That is unethical and immoral! Now these POS’s get to play God??
