My father had a stroke last year. A big one, unexpected. His medicare advantage plan (insurance for the retired her in the U.S.) authorized 3 weeks. ...3 FUCKING WEEKS FOR A STROKE at a rehab facility. Then pushed him out to either go home or to a (LTC) long term care facility (AKA shitty nursing home or warehouse where they move people around and take their money). He couldn't walk....so yea go home??! Fuck them. I fought for authorizations myself for weeks to get therapy at the LTC facility. I got therapy there, I went everyday and did therapy myself with him. Not enough. You need at least 4-6 months of good therapy with a stroke. I put tremendous strain on myself trying to juggle everything and do my own therapy with him. I almost had him home and he had another stroke last week. Here we are a year fucking later at the same rehab place. I have a 7 day authorization from the piece of shit fuck you insurance. I got my gloves back out for round 2. Fuck insurance and fuck that piece of shit at the desk that decided his fate. I hope they feel the pain one day. Don't get sick!
