The withdrawal paper, read without the panic

The obvious question, and why nobody sighs
A bigger room than usual and a much newer one — eleven of the fourteen were inside their first month. I ran it as a straight round of the questions people had been too…
Insurance appeals9 attended
Reading the refusal letter as a document
Nine people, eight refusal letters, one hour. This circle is unromantic on purpose. A refusal is an administrative act, administrative acts follow processes, and most…

Nine minutes with the diabetes nurse
This is the call I run most often in this circle and the one I believe in most. Twelve people, all with an appointment coming up, and the entire hour spent turning…
