This really BURNS ME UP!!!!

Kyle, your Dr. shouldn't be allowing the HMO to push him or her around like
that!!!  YOU pay the HMO!!!  YOU are the patient!!!  YOU are the one
suffering from pain!!!  So, as such, YOU deserve BETTER treatment!!!

If I were you (and if it were possible), I would change Dr.'s and HMOs (and
even HOSPITALS if needed!)

All the HMO is concerned about how much it will cost THEM to cure YOU of
YOUR ailments (and since YOU pay the HMO, what your Dr. thinks you NEED
shouldn't be of any concern to them if they know what's really good for
them!)

In short Kyle.....YOU have RIGHTS and the HMO is DENYING you YOUR RIGHT to
seek ADEQUATE treatment (as defined by THE DOCTOR) for YOUR ailments!!!!

Sorry guys.....I had to get that off my chest.....
