Last night I got to go back to The Upper West Side of Manhattan & walk down memory lane. 🍎 This was the brownstone walkup building of my 4th floor apartment, which I rented many (many!) moons ago.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)
