Well, that was a waste of time, Medicare

And my copayment. Saw the facial specialist he looked in my mouth told me i have an infection and get back with jaw-shoving dentist to deal with it. Probably going to see an endo. Told me he cares and surgery on ppl w cancer in their faces. Ok tg that's not me. Back to the dentist who injured me. I feel like I'm in nightmare groundhog day.

1. The referral and the consult are part of being a patient!

Do they scratch each other's backs to pile on the fees and income, or do they do it to leave no stone unturned so as to reduce legal liability?

Who could sort that out? But they sure don't want to be sued for missing something because they didn't plumb out all the possibilities.

2. I also wanted to ask

Him about the anatomy and nerves in a jaw injury but he just shrugged. My gp is a very thorough md and it was his ct that caught the infection so there's that. I'm just on a limited income. I'm assuming musk hasn't ended Medicare.

3. Musk is on a fishing expedition

He may find inefficiencies. He may find dormant accounts or monies somewhere, maybe he'll walk off with them. Surely they realize the public will squawk if their livelihoods are stolen. Congress, the GOP majority being responsible for allowing this mess to continue, need to step up.
