\"Insanity\"<\/a>
Insanity<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let me preface by saying that I can not and did not make this up. So after returning to work on Monday following\u00a0the DPC Summit in KC this weekend, I went to check the mail and received this document from a Medicare Part D drug plan. (I did not include the image of the document here so as not to have the companies lawyers call me). This document is basically the 3rd party making sure that my patient is on the best drug regimen for his condition(s). Now on the surface this does not seem like a bad thing, but trust me when I say that what they are really looking for is a way to curb their costs.<\/p>\n

So the comical part of this whole scenario is that they no longer have to worry about cost nor have they had to for the past 6 months. Why you may ask? Because that is how long this patient has sadly been deceased.<\/p>\n

I would say that I’d be back next week at our regular scheduled time, but I am 99% sure something equally as asinine, if not more so, will come across my desk and\/or mail in the next few days.<\/p>\n

PS: I loved this patient and he would have had the exact same reaction. It would have been comical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
