I'm so sick and tired of insurance companies requiring prior authorization for medication refills.

My authorization is: BECAUSE I SAID SO!...

Just do the insurance stuff, and let me do the medical stuff, thank you very much!...

1. They have even questioned my doctor's orders, as if he/she is incompetent.

2. I hate health insurance companies. Hate them.

Evah since Hahvid health left me to die some 30 years ago back when they paid HMO docs bonuses to not test. I had lost massive weight very quickly (from 108-111 pounds to 80-83 pounds), severe insomnia, night sweats, blurred vision in the afternoon. They said it was "all in my head" and sent me packing.

Luckily I was due for x-rays at 6 month dental cleaning/checkup. Turns out I had 3 severely impacted wisdom teeth and the infection had gone inward. I likely was septic. My dentist took one look at me and put me on "prophylactic" broad spectrum antibiotics for a month before he'd remove the teeth. He saved my life.
