My shrink is calling University of OHMYFUCKIT'SCOLDIOWAHOSPITALS to refer me to their Erectile Dysfunction clinic.
 

Maybe I should just go to U Iowa. My SSI is running out this month and after that here's no hope. Medicaid can cancel as they wish and I will lose my apartment (insurance. license) anyway. I can't get thought to them. All lines are buys, try your call at another time. Exiting the system. No one in DHS, HHS, Medicaid, or Thresholds has returned my ( Read more... )

I don't wish for my readers to believe that I am anti-Obama. I especially do not wish my neighbors to believe that I am anti-Obama. However, I am pro-health care. I believe in universal access to necessary services (including procedures, equipment, and medication) for all . I believe, and empirical data supports me, that "mental" illness is as ( Read more... )

Esteemed Senator Clinton,

I am not, unfortunately, a resident of your state. I am a resident of Illinois. Until recent months, I felt fairly secure that I might have the opportunity to vote for you to represent me as a citizen despite my state of residency.

If I've somehow overstepped an unforeseen ( Read more... )

The woman in charge of the bulimia protocols at NYSPI called this morning. I am apparently too depressed for them. (It is totally beyond me why these people seem to believe that these things can be treated independantly when, well, obviously they CAN'T) Then she gave me a bunch of referrals to other hospitals, the only one of any repute being ( Read more... )

It's just too fucking cold to sit outside with my cell and call the protocol directors at NYSPI. It doesn't matter. I'm not good enough/bad enough for them. I deserve to stay here and rot. Only people with insurance deserve health and happiness ( Read more... )

Am currently debating downloading the gizmo project so I can do a voice post. Seems like it might be a worthwhile use of bandwidth, since my precise location and computer accessibility are up for grabs in the coming weeks. Buuuut. . . would anybody care to be bothered to transcribe it? Anyone who has never met me would have an enormous laugh at my ( Read more... )
