I hate @DIRECTV and dont know why I pay them so much $$ each month for service that goes out every day and technicians that don’t fix anything. It is past time to cut the cord and start streaming.

Louisiana Healthcare Connection just denied another lifesaving drug for my son with #relapsingpolychondritis and #osteoporosis. He needs #Actemra and #Forteo and @LAHealthConnect says nope. @genentech @LADeptHealth #insurance #healthcare

[Pat Austin Becker @paustin110]

@LAHealthConnect doles out yet another denial on lifesaving meds for my son. He’s 34 and not worth saving? 🤷‍♀️ @RP_Organization #actemra #forteo #healthcare #louisiana

Is it reasonable to expect follow-up care upon hospital discharge from your physician/specialist? Ten days post discharge and no response to appt request or portal messages? @OchsnerHealth

[Pat Austin Becker @paustin110]

Especially when said hospitalization involves life threatening situation? @OchsnerHealth

[Pat Austin Becker @paustin110]

@LAHealthConnect @OchsnerHealth It is criminal.
I no longer have faith in this doctor.
It has been twelve days since she responded and that was only to advise prednisone.

[Pat Austin Becker @paustin110]

The rheumatology department at @OchsnerHealth in Shreveport is failing my son. He has a rare autoimmune disease and His doctor has ghosted him. @MichaelMelerine @La_Health_Dept

[Pat Austin Becker @paustin110]

@LAHealthConnect @OchsnerHealth How is this “do no harm”?
How is this saving lives?
