15. When my wife and I were each

Thu Oct 11, 2012, 06:43 PM

Oct 2012

initially diagnosed with Diabetes, we were harrangued by a company under contract with Cigna to "help" us with our treatment.

I lost count of how many messages they left for this "service" before we were able to tell them to go away (due to experiences in the 60's where I was subjected to inappropriate touching from a stranger who was the "school doctor" I have a major distrust and antipathy towards unsolicited medical advice, even when it comes from a professional).

They reluctantly accepted this when we pointed out my wife is an RN, and there was nothing they could tell us that she didn't already know.
