Recognizing that this is getting totally off-topic, but didn't that happen to this thread quite awhile ago?? I am a doctor, in the US, and I just spent more than an hour of my morning on the phone with three different insurance companies to get a required medication for one of my patients - and given the restrictions of the insurance formulary, I can only get one month of a medication which is medically indicated, and which I have no equivalent alternative for, and I'm going to have to go through this again in 30 days!!! Not to mention that the website that one of the insurance companies wants me to use to submit the request to is essentially non-function, and didn't give me the right contact number to get the answer I needed...arghhhhh!!
