    Did I zone out when Dr. Now exlplain why she needs a wound vac for her recovery?  I don't remember others needing that.

    I think it was because of the size of her incisions. She seemed like she had more excess skin to remove, and gravity was going to be more of an issue for her, and her sutures were more likely to open up.

    It seems I have to go thru hoops each month to get my pain med filled.  I understand why but it drives me nuts when the druggies can walk right in & get theirs. I guess his government insurance doesn't require a prior auth like my private insurance  (which I pay a big chunk of) does which holds things up & can take days.   ......stepping down from my soapbox now.

    I can tell you, beginning in January of this year, more and more of the Medicaid plans (at least in Ohio) are requiring prior authorization for narcotics. Things are changing. Slowly, but they are changing.

    Twenty times to different hospitals for pain meds? Is there's no way to cross check that shit? How is he getting the pills? At the various hospitals? Or do the pharmacies just deliver the prescriptions to him?

    Some states (Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky do for sure) do have databases that will show what narcotic was prescribed, how much was prescribed, when it was filled and the pharmacy that filled it.
