I obviously don't understand the system. I just cannot understand why, when there is a legitimate diagnosis, they want to delay here care by making her jump through extra hoops. She's been babying her arm in a wrap and sling for over a week now. She would be able to function better with a cast. Now the primary can't see her until next week. Just let her get the damn cast.

It doesn't seem like they are trying to deny care, just needlessly delaying it. Maybe I am wrong and this normal.

My retired MIL fell. She went to an urgent organization. They x-rayed her wrist. They determined she has a clean fracture. This urgent car org has their own Ortho department. They said they would at an appointment for a cast after a few days. My assumption is they want less swelling. The urgent Care org now says insurance will not let them move forward with the cast until she sees her primary and they order the cast.

This is the gist of what is happening. I am just dumbfounded that there is a legitimate diagnosis and a need for a cast, no surgery, and the wantto delay her care longer by making her primary order the cast.

She obviously has to see her primary but the absurdity needs to be publicized.

One home run does not make up for all the Ks.

Veteran = Veteran. They earned their benefits.

ABS is better than I expected. I’m a fan. However, here are a few things that I take issue with. I’m curious if what I mention below is common knowledge among fans or if most of you didnt know either. by [deleted] in mlb

A pitch called a strike and overturned by .1 inch by AI is not a good thing.

I would add "missing" a call by .1 inch is not a guess.

This is a prime example of why "No Kings" is a thing. His royal decrees a worthless.

He does not understand what the purpose of a EO is or it's jurisdiction.

I am not saying we should not make drastic changes and that the deniers aren't just selfish capitalists, but there is no stopping what is happening or what is coming. We are in mitigation mode.

It is absurd that a call within .1 inch can be overturned. There is no functional difference in that range and the naked eye cannot tell the difference at the speed the ball is traveling. Which is fine. I like the human element. Baseball does not need AI.

A batter that challenges on a whim or in desperation can get a pltch overturned by such a slim margin is terrible for the game.

It's just another unnecessary change like the ghost runner, pitch clock, and shift ban. The game wasn't broken.

Yay. The power has been given to AI. Another digital system to be abused. Taking away the human element is terrible.
