OK, enough entries from the Writing category. In my defense, I plead query mode and that my head is sort of someplace else. Enough of that already.

Let’s kick out the funnies. 4 years ago I woke up at 2am with blood all over my pillow. Gee, that’s not very funny is it? Anyway, the emergency room doctors diagnosed this as a severe middle ear infection and referred me to a specialist.

Enter the insurance company swine who deemed this emergency room visit unnecessary and refused to pay. When blood gushes from your ear at 2am, is it really necessary to consult with your primary care provider first? My first thought was no, so I appealed the decision.

Not to be neglected, the hospital threatened to take me to collections for the cost of the visit. I ate the charges, paid up and moved on.

For 3 years and 11 months nothing more was said about this matter. 2 weeks ago a notice arrived from the insurance company swine. At last the visit to the emergency room was covered! Since they owed me money, they sent the check for the disputed amount to the hospital.

See, life is a highway. And sometimes you’re in a bumper car.
