I ordered MRI for a patient who'd had an ischemic stroke. Her insurance denied it was necessary. I was livid. I've faced this and similar situations on a regular basis. Insurance companies are a modern day equivalent to robber barons.

I hate hearing this, but knowing that they will NOT approve the basic tests needed to confirm types of damage from a stroke.... that's really the kind of thing y'all need to go public on. Set up a GoFundMe, I think PATIENTS would support you. ANd please keep telling these true stories!
