Once there was a time that you would contact someone, and they would respond. I have spent this year calling into the void. And this is not just stuff like where I was warned to expect silence, like my brother’s probate or the Blue Cross Blue Shield class action suit.
- I requested Dave’s medical records through email and a phone call. No response.
- I purchased a back door, a new bathroom ceiling, and a handrail four months ago. I knew there’d be a wait. But when I asked for more work to be added on, I had to struggle to even ask for a quote and now two weeks later, no quote.
- The organization I want to donate my body too has also kept mum.
So I see why the hospital doesn’t want to set themselves up: they think I am looking for trouble. But I want to give the construction people money in exchange for parts and labor, and I want to give the body donation people my brain and spine for free, damnit.
No doubt they’ll all get back to me all at once when I’ve forgotten them.

… yeah. I think a lot of places are understaffed with burnt-out people at this time, but also it is ridiculous, so there is that.
I did get a response from the insurance appeals office after the second time, and it is a no (they ignored half the information, but there is no further appeal, so). So there is that. Sometimes you do get *an* answer even if it’s not the reasonable and sane and humane answer.
KC – I think an unreasonable answer is preferable sometimes.
This is definitely true sometimes! Although sometimes timing as to when aggravating news lands is also relevant.
KC – like when there’s a pileup of bad news? That’s true. I wish there was a professional one could hire to corner hospital officials to see what’s going on.
