'If you don't like graffiti look away like you do for genocide"

Seen in Austin, Texas

I love you (many of you!) and hope you're safe, internet people.

Did I just employ the "Treat Them Like You are A Kindergarten Teacher Again" method with my insurance company today? I surely did. Did it work? Probably better than intended because I made an actual doctor feel contrite.

So, my insurance has been trying to not cover my SNRI because it is new on the market and no generic available yet, so pricey.

I apply for a refill and the request gets locked for review. Again. For the 3rd time.

This time I call and immediately ask to speak to the actual doctor making these clinical decisions. Very politely. Must be a slow day because they allow it.

ME: [Teacher voice] I'm calling in regards to the SNRI you have placed a lock on. Why was this decision made?

DOC: Well, there are dozens of other medications on the market in that tier, and far cheaper for you and [insurer]. We have sent a request to your doctor to consider alternatives.

ME: I am aware of that. So, can you do me a HUGE favor and look up my prescription history really quickly and tell me how many SSRIs and SNRIs were only filled once in 2022 for me, showing they were poorly tolerated?

DOC: It looks like eight.

ME: Great job! Now, can you please look at my genetic test for psychiatric drug tolerance and tell me how many medications are listed in the safe category?

DOC: Two.

ME: Awesome! Now, can you tell me what type that other drug is that I'm not taking?

DOC: Yeah, totally, it's an MAOI.

ME: That's correct, you're really knowledgeable! Should I be taking something as dangerous as an MAOI with my other medications, or even just in general?

DOC: It's contraindicated for sure.

ME: It is! So true! So, last question since you've been incredibly smart and helpful. Is it less expensive for [insurer] to pay out for the medication knowing they already get a huge manufacturer discount anyway, or is it more expensive for them to pay for me to need potentially long-term inpatient psychiatric care?

DOC: I'll clear the code, ma'am and flag it as medically necessary. I'm sorry about this.

ME: I appreciate you SO MUCH. You have a great day now.

Wiederhoeft Fall 2024

I literally don't learn from my mistakes.

OK but who would win in a fight, jar jar or c-3po

Considering that Threepio’s arms are fused at the elbow and Jar Jar’s a pacifist (”meesa hate crunchen”), I feel like they’d just shuffle about in circles, waiting for people to lose interest.

JarJar would go in for a hug right after a nice swim, get some important wiring wet in threepio, and cause the poor dear to completely shirt circuit.

while backing away c3po would accidentally pull down a set of curtains, which would knock over a bottle of space olive oil on the table below. as jar jar ran towards him, his ears would flop, and the spray of water would hit a serving droid, causing it to spark. the sparks would, naturally, ignite the now oil sodden curtains. anyway, after less than an hour of rube goldberg slapstick comic relief, the city would be in flames, the planet would be at war with itself, and jar jar and threepio would stumble out of the ruins, both wailing and miraculously unharmed

artistically singed, and either outraged at each other or best friends
