I can't organize for shit, but I totally can help bankroll a patient advocate for ita.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

I'm beginning to think it's lawsuit and television station time.

I have an Angie's List membership but I can't access LA listings, for some reason.
And I'm juggling a fair amount of patient advocacy right now as it is, but like shrift I would happily throw something into the pot to help out here. Because this is just ridiculous and ita deserves much better.

The worst part to me is that it seems that getting the right care requires a lot from the patient, and I know from personal experience that it's hard to advocate for yourself when you're sick or in pain. In a perfect world, the proper care would come from the doctor, not the patient.

Good thing I got paid today.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am in on the advocate too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Another ER would never work. My doctor has no privileges anywhere else, and they have no reason to pay any attention to his letter or let me write my (apparently unbelievable) script..
I've texted my cousin to tell her I can't make it, and I need to work out if I can get money back from American. I can't get admitted to hospital before Monday, and that's when I was supposed to be going back to work! I go home on Thursday.
If someone could just tell me what giving up looks like, I'll definitely head in that direction. I have a phenergan prescription (no, it's never worked before), and I don't know anything else. Right. I need to cancel the airline shuttle too.
I'm so tired. I a=haven't eaten anything other than graham crackers since breakfast, and my phone wasn't working at the pharmacy so I walked home instead of working out how to involve strangers in calling a cab, and that's the closest to exercise I've done in years. But it was way easier than humans. When the homeless people apologise to you you know you're looking on top of your game.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh ita, I wish you had called me from the pharmacy, although I do get your point about sometimes it's easier than humans. What a totally fucked up day.
I don't get why your doctor isn't advocating for you. I kinda want to punch that smug resident, and I'm really not the type to want to punch people.
