ICYMI, I’m still really kvelling about this

Your doctor went to medical school for 12 years. The person denying your claim went through a two-week training module.

Hey, Larocco …?

ICYMI, my Bowie-inspired sci-fi micro, “How 🌟 to 🌟 Make 🌟 a 🌟 Ziggy 🌟 Stardust”, is in the latest Mythic Picnic. Screenshots below capture the original special formatting not amenable to tweeting, but I think both presentations are interesting in their own way … wdy think?

I need a word for that struggle when you need to take your earbuds out but you can’t find the case.

@mooninabucket @SomeWordsLit Just thought you would sneak another in this year, hm?

[Rick Dowlearn @rickdowlearn]

@Adam_Ellington You explained a moot point. I had simple questions for a 340b hospital & no one could answer, yet billing dept threatened my credit. I did receive OP Rx. I went back to Maryland, but if I was in WV that hospital system would have been my prescriber.

Hey guys, I wrote about my heart attack, and the rabbit hole it uncovered for me.

[Terry Wilcox @Terrilox]

Powerful patient story: Our own @rickdowlearn shares waking up post-cardiac arrest as "Almond T. Rectangle," facing huge bills at a 340B hospital—yet no discounts reached him. Hospitals profit big, but patients? Not so much. 63% of 340B hospitals give below-average charity care. Time for bipartisan reform to put patients first!
