Can I ask who it was you saw? So I know who to avoid.

Victor Inada. Kade has him too, saw him before I did, and gave him glowing reviews, but then again, Kade has insurance so he didn't get the insulting lecture. Hes well-versed in tranny etiquette and all that, but seems to believe, quite literally, that you either qualify for fantastic public health coverage or you, in his words "have money", so theres no excuse for not wanting to see a doctor. And as far as I can tell, he is otherwise aware that he is not in France. What a douche.

Oh, I saw him once. He was...well, he seemed competent enough, but I didn't love him. I miss Lisa Schwartz.

I know this is drastic, but you could try pitching it to a publication. It's interesting enough to make a good story, and a welcome change from (ugh) "recession" stories of people being forced to put off their remodeling or to slash their shoe budgets (thanks, NYT). You don't have to make the article trans-specific; I'm sure there is a gamut of poor people who would happily contribute with their own tales of insurance woe. You could collect a book of essays. I worked for an agent a couple years back who was all about political or otherwise charged nonfiction.

Anyway, I'm insuranceless too, have been for a year and change, and yeah, it's hard. I'd kind of rather Google my symptoms and find my way out of them with herbs and things before heading out to the jungle of NY public health.
