A Little Revenge

(2)

On a much lighter note tomorrow looks like great hangover weather! For once. I have a few notes:

People screwing up America
DSMIV - 46% will develop a mental disorder
'My phone is ringing and my blackberry is vibrating. What do I do?'
Beauty and the Priest
Pamela Rogers where were you when I needed you?!
Texas Stalker

I've also been thinking about a little revenge on Kaiser Permante, usually on my bike rides. I love revenge. Don't you? Yep, a little revenge. A little revenge sometimes goes a long way. Not that I am totally disgusted with Kaiser Permante. Not totally: they literally saved my life once. I may or may not get to it tonight, but a scenerio is beginning to take shape in my demented mind: I am imagining a sort of meeting at KP where a group of Kaiser physicians undertake to discuss 'my case.'

The theme will be that I have become 'a problem' to the folks at KP. They have therefore arranged a meeting where I will be represented by a 'patient advocate.' It will be a sort of trial. I am not present at the meeting. Indeed, I am not even aware that such a meeting is taking place. The participants will argue the question of whether or not it would be advisable to continue to provide me with health care in view of my recent writings concerning their 'fig leaf diagnosis.'

Should be fun! In fact, I have already conjured up names for a couple of the prospective participants. My advocate will be a Jewish lawyer by the name of Susan Goldegger. Another participant, my Urologist, will be named, Edith Mangele (being gassed with lung gas here). I'm too lazy to look her real name up in my drog, but I remember that she was a surprisingly good-looking woman for a Urologist (more gas).

I'll leave it at that for the moment because as I was writing it I was gassed with lung gas and also cut off, with the usual result: server not found. But stay tuned.
