I now have my M|RI scheduled.
Amazingly enough the huge HMO does have an open MRI – and not far from me.
WHY this information was not known to the HMO facilities in San Jose (when the HMO facilities I am being sent to is in Santa Clara – about 10-15 miles from each other) is a mystery.
And it only took 3 e-mails to my doctor, filing a grievance with the HMO, and a call to Member Services.
We all know the squeaky wheel gets oiled. Now we know the bitchy fat old lady gets her MRI.
I’ve unfortunately found that being nice typically doesn’t get you anywhere. When I have to resort to being scary, I get what I need. Is that just lame or what?
