You Can't Get There From Here ... (yet surely it's certain the End is quite near)
What went wrong? After long delays in response, including ignoring a referring health clinic's requests,
I went my way into the portal - and made an appointment myself!
My mistake was to then criticize their "value system" and "threaten" established protocol ...
Prior to this exchange, you couldn't get through to a clinician. Telephone numbers are unlisted, also, pharmacies closed. For several years since, in fact, coinciding with the date they abandoned most Medicaid patient's care.
My initiative has garnered an ill reward. I'm entirely censored from their board.
For you Europeans who crow about your Public Health and advantage over profit,
the American Medicare Plan is consistently 2/3 of gross annual debt. Unlike Social Security, which can be adjusted, CMS will take us down in impending sovereign default - aren't you, pleased? - although of all the West, we'll be the last man standing.
My apologies for that defeat. Perhaps you'd be more comfortable if you could turn up the heat?
One question remains unanswered, it seems. How many lawyers fill out a Care Team?

Maidan
I'd just spent time analyzing my troublesome laptop with a computer tech, online, in the winter of 2014. This guy was different than any I'd spoken to before. He'd just recommended a competitor over his own software. I wanted to know more about the man.
"Where are you from, friend?"
"Ukraine."
His tone belied a weight as though burdened with some
calculation - I'd heard of trouble. Not many others had. I couldn't quite phrase the question,
fresh on my mind, uncertain as I was in how to frame it.
All I could muster was to ask about the weather. Where I live, we boast of our Latitude, as though it's some great fete to survive such
extremes.
Maidan -

Yotsumono: November (2017)
November --
countless raindrops to measure
the length of a day
a veil of frost
tints Johari's window
ranks of children
prone and obedient
to a flickering image
Lebensraum,
a none too distant dream
