      It’s a modern war for a modern economy.

      Instead of pitting the poor and destitute soldiers of opposing countries against each other in bloody combat, we have opposing corporations (in my case, the pharmacy and the insurance company) pitting their minimum-wage phone-jockeys against each other in a battle of wits when death is on the line.

      Fortunately for our patients, I’m part Sicilian.

        No, unironically though, helpful folks in the healthcare industry despite the system’s labyrinthine and hellish construction have kept me from several major breakdowns. You going to bat for the patients has likely saved at least one person from a psych ward visit.
