Now my immediate family member has to continue waiting in severe pain for another 2-14 days (just for approval, ignoring rescheduling the procedure into the holiday season) for what should have been approved in the first place and what should remain an inevitable approval.

#chordoma community for 15 years, I'm plenty familiar with these stories. Everyone has them. Most people have many. And as I've complained, people have DM'd me sharing their stories, too. It's how the broken system "works".1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -

Alternatively, we're wondering about legal redress now. Not so much for an approval but...there is no ambiguity here: Without their constant blundering fuckups, she would have a chance at pain relief. The procedure is standard of care. They denied it. Why aren't they liable?
