  • It’s fascinating reading your side of this, everything you said tracks with getting paid by insurance carriers as well. I’m a revenue analyst for an insurance agency. There are no established rules or SOPs they follow. They each make up their own thing. For each established rule one carrier follows, there’s another one who does something completely different. Some of their websites are really good and helpful while others are the oldest looking sites I’ve seen in years. We have a team of people who are assigned carriers, and only work with those carriers, so we can keep track of how each one operates and pays us. It’s a mess. I couldn’t imagine trying to navigate all these carriers by myself in order to get paid, on top of managing a practice.











  • Here is the entire article (not kidding):

    "A meningitis outbreak has killed 20 students in northern Nigeria, local media reported Wednesday (Feb. 28).

    The death toll which remains provisional was announced by the Yobe state Education commissioner.

    The outbreak has been recorded in some secondary schools in the state.

    Over a hundred cases have allegedly been reported with three patients said to still be in an intensive care unit responding to treatment.

    Meningitis is an infection which causes an acute inflammation of the outer layers of the brain and spinal cord. It can be life-threatening unless diagnosed and treated early.

    Transmission is through direct person-to-person contact, including droplets from the nose and throat of infected people.

    The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention shared Wednesday (Feb. 28) on its X account (formerly twitter) a meningitis vigilance map.

    Indeed, weather conditions can favour prevalence of meningitis.

    Most of cases in the country are reported across states in the northern region.

    According to the WHO, the west African nation reported 124 deaths from meningitis between 1 October 2022 and 16 April 2023."

    It doesn’t even say which version it is, viral or bacterial.






  • even if I just slightly feel like one dislikes me a little

    This line stuck out to me because of what I’m currently working through. I have no idea if we share this issue, so please take this with a grain of salt. Is it possible you struggle with people pleasing? If you perceive yourself to only have value when others are pleased with you, someone being displeased with you hits like a freight train. When someone gets mad at me on the road, even if it’s not my fault, I can’t stop thinking about it for MONTHS. It made me cry a lot as a boy. I don’t think this accounts for all of what you’re talking about, but it could be a piece of it.




  • I was. As a boy, I had undiagnosed ADHD and had a terrible time managing my emotions. It wouldn’t take much for me to cry, like getting out in dodgeball. It was easy ammo for the bullies. My parents were very controlling which stunted my social growth and I had very few friends. I remember one of the boys being dared to put his arm around my shoulders at lunch. I thought he legitimately wanted to connect with me until he started counting out loud. All I could do was put my head down in shame…I don’t look back on my childhood very fondly. Things were rough.
