beyondpanic's Diaryland Diary -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My supervisor commented that it did nothing for me and made me look fat. I replied that I was fat. She responded that I don�t �appear� fat in my other clothes and that I shouldn�t wear it again. The other snarky comment came from my gay friend/coworker who told me that I looked wider than usual. He also suggested that I should have worn a fuscia top with it to bring out the colors of the fuscia flowers in the design and perhaps create a slimming illusion. In response, I vehemently hissed at him, Surprisingly enough, Mr. Fashionista eventually agreed with me about the color of my top� but he still didn�t like the skirt. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& I explain this concept to someone once a day. Today, I actually told one of our members that if I found out they paid their Dr. any more money, I was �Going to come and get you�. I explained and re-explained how they had �met� their deductible this year and after a very frustrating 30 minutes, I�m still not sure she understood what the hell I was talking about!!! I feel bad for some of these families because I know they are bullied by providers to pay ahead of time or they won�t see them. So many of our members live in tiny, out-of-the- way towns that don�t have a lot of Dr�s and they don�t want to alienate the few doctors that have set up their practices in these rural communities . They also feel �stupid� compared to the Dr�s because they don�t have college educations � they fix elevators. I�m actually hoarse from trying to explain this to this poor woman�and don�t even get me started on how our Medicare patients are terrorized by the Dr�s office staff. (I don�t mean you, Nance!) &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& 9:31 p.m. - Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2009
