What a sad story...
It may be the holiday season, but I can still rant...
I've been complaining for what 7 years now about the medical / insurance system in our country.
I know, any and every system is broken.. blah blah blah. No matter what we do it will suck.
But this is freaking beyond sickening.
Girl dies hours after being approved for transplant. If the stupid insurance company didn't make a dying girl's family go through hell and deny everything, maybe she could have had a chance? Maybe not? But they'll never know now. It shouldn't take a friggin protest involving a community of people to get a teenage girl treatment that could save her life approved. Merry Friggin Christmas to the A'holes who denied her. You saved your company some money and maybe killed or didn't kill a kid, but now you'll never know if she could have lived so in my book you're guilty as hell of something.
Doctors can be ev0l. Trust me, I of all people know this. They shove tubes and cameras down your throat, they stick you in an MRI, they cut you open, and some get egos so big they get their mind set on something and assume they're right without really checking out alternatives. But I've never seen a doctor who would do something like try to get a transplant on a 17 year old unless it was necessary. And some pencil pushing insurance company idiot waiting until she's basically dead to say ohh we were wrong she does need it should be a crime.
