I am so frustrated. Today is, in effect, another day wasted at the hospital, trying to get my meds. Except today, they informed me that they want a bazillion pieces of paper from me so they know how to "stabilize my fee scale." Of course, this required me to wait for hours in many many lines, just to learn this tiny piece of information. I really really wanted to ask them why they aren't interested in all the paperwork for those lawsuits for my many emergency room bills .. apparently, they don't want those, they only want to know how much money I am bringing in each week, and they don't care how many people are trying to take it away from me before I ever see it.
Anyway, I finally escaped.

In one week and two days, I will be in Germany, beginning my new life as an American expat. Even though I thought I'd be more likely to live in the UK, in Finland, Iceland, or even on one of the South Pacific Islands where my research birds are found, I would be lying if I told you that I am not…
This week has not gone very well, probably because I've been ill since Sunday with some sort of illness that makes me vomit a lot. Last week, I thought I had everything figured out, but this week, I've been confronted by an increasingly complex tangle of paperwork and problems and with having to…
Oy vay. Ya gotta love it. The people who run some of these programs should have to rely on their "services(?)."

So many people in the US, poor and not-so-poor, have similar stories, and yet my impression is that Michael Moore's "Sicko" movie was flavor of the month back in June and has now been forgotten.
