I have about had it.. really I have. At first, I kept myself in check while dealing with one script-following lackey after another. Eventually, the last two unfortunate souls got to hear me rant about how the insurance company has no business telling me how to prescribe.

So what if I need to dose an XR med twice a day to get symptom relief? If that is what it takes so that my patient is able to get out of bed, go to work, take care of her children, and stay out of the hospital... than you as her insurance provider should support that! Isn't that what folks fork over an often absurd amount of their paycheck to have you do?
