Nothing + Nothing = Nothing

So now we've seen what these past 3 months of effort brings to a Medicaid patient. Nothing.

It does not matter that a Neurosurgeon orders a test, that the patient then begins the process at a learned man's direction. Many, many phone calls. Excruciating pain. Doctor visits. More pain. Faxes. More phone calls. If it involves Louisiana Medicaid, it amounts to NOTHING AT ALL.

I am no closer to a diagnosis and treatment after 3 months of effort than I was 4 years ago, AND I must wait 3 more months, according to Medicaid, before I can see a doctor and we can start the dance all over again.

One must ask, Why Bother?
