Trivial things that please the ever living shit out of you
from 12-15 feet on the baseline on either side of the basket I can hit a turnaround fading into the baseline just over the corner of the backboard nothing but net a very high percentage of time even at my advanced age. It's very satisfying.

Why do doctors need to speak the insurers language rather than the other way around? On the one hand you have a group of people trying to alleviate suffering and improve quality of life. On the other hand you have the business people. And you think the business people should be in charge of the system? Well guess what, they are in charge and that's why the system is totally fucked. Is really not the doctors John to know what form to fill out or what single keyword the insurance will accept as justification for a procedure or test. It is the doctor's job to know what test is necessary or what procedure can help the patient. In truth the doctor should NEVER even have a single communication with your insurance. The doctor should communicate only to the patient. The patient should pay the doctor. The patient should communicate with insurance for reimbursement. The insurance should communicate with patient for spring documentation.

You have highlighted exactly what I'm saying. Doctors don't know how much your insurance will pay for anything. They don't know what sounding your insurance has for covering certain medications, tests, or procedures. So they shoot high on the bill and tell the insurance to sorry it out. They send all the information in the chart, which is seldom read, and wait for the denial too tell them what information the insurance actually wants. It's the worst possible system out of all potential systems, but it's is not primarily driven by the doctors acting or billing in bad faith. Fwiw, absolutely there are crooked doctors doing crooked shit, but that's a small minority. The selection process for admittance to medical school prioritizes intelligence and following the rules. So those are the people you get being doctors, people who inherently want to follow the rules.

He didn't do a bad job in LA. Got scapegoated. Decent coach. Won't matter if they don't upgrade the roster depth.

I just get so tired of people blaming doctors for a system that doctors don't control. There may have been a time that was the case but that time is at least 30 years in the past.

That's because doctors are technically the ones responsible and signing the charges but that's a farce. The doctors are just complying with the system. You don't want all those charges? Change the system.

I'm assuming they find a way to dump Paul

I'm afraid he's gone after the playoffs. Has a player option on his contact. I love his game, though. He would be a tremendous pickup for the Suns.

Hot take: Brown would be at worst the third best player on this heat team. Lukewarm take: MPJ is what you'd get if you made Klay Thompson KD sized.

I'm not saying it's a bad fit but the price seems high for a guy that just got exposed in the playoffs massively for the second straight year.

You keep saying doctors but That's mostly not doctors.

That may be the motivation for some but for most it's actually just simpler to submit one charge that you know is higher than the highest charger altered by any of the 732 different benefit plans your bill could be subject to. Rather than waste the medical office staff time getting familiar with the details of every plan, which change randomly anyway, just bill the most and let them figure out how much they actually owe. If there were a single payer system this would all go away immediately.

Coward didn't want to have to face the music with Klay and Draymond- NBA Playoffs 2023
Can't remember the last time I liked both teams in the Finals. Be happy for either team to win. Denver is so much fun to watch but Miami has that Cinderella theme working.- NBA Playoffs 2023
You need a turnover against Miami, just blitz Bam, apparently.- NBA Playoffs 2023

way too much time to call it but that's a nice stretch for Miami to kick off the 4th. For a team that presents as mentally weak like the Celtics that could snowball. - NBA 2022-2023 Season Thread
