Those are excellent ideas Eagle. I may very well do that. What happened was this. I'll try and be brief but as you must imagine, these stories are always convoluted. I changed insurance companies from Aetna to Blue Cross. Aetna was through Cobra and that policy ended in March. It wasn't until June that I began new insurance. I had to be referred to a Neurosurgeon which, to my new primary physicians credit, was done immediately. However, since I was technically post op from my surgery in March, no Neurosurgeon would agree to see me. The insurance - Blue Cross - was called in, they made inquiries to Neurosurgeons also to no avail and had no recourse but to send me to Stanford. This was to my delight since I wanted to go there in the first place. So, THEY send me to Stanford but when Stanford wants to do something they say "No, you aren't a contracted hospital...". There ya go. Does that make any sense? What were they supposed to do? Send me to a hospital that is contracted so I can sit there and not be worked on by Neurosurgeons who didn't want me in the first place... I think I will stick it to 'em. They made me mad. Anyway, cute doctors at Stanford which is really the material point. Even through all the pain I caught sight of several very nice looking interns. I'm going to have to hang out there more often!
