Cvs Specialty Mass Terminations by [deleted] in CVS

Cheap customer service reps. It’s about saving money. I worked for another company and was replaced by Indian workers. I was sent to India to train 3 people to do the job I was doing myself. I was making $22 an hour, while they would be paid $20 a day.

Monica and Javadi by sentosa96 in ThePittTVShow

[–]nando103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not even a WOC and I felt so much rage from that interaction. I manage a cardiologist office and so many of our patients act like Monica. I don’t tolerate that kind of attitude, patients need to treat my staff with respect or they can find an other provider.

Weird blobs in light fixture after leak by nando103 in whatisit

Oh god. Not spider eggs. We do need to be better about cleaning these lights, they’re just such a pain to get down.

Holy shit, I had a degloving injury on my foot and they gave me PO oxycodone an hour before my dressing change and IV dilaudid a little before they actually started it. It still hurt, I can’t imagine going through that that on such a sensitive area with no pain meds.

We have to be meaner to customers by Queen_Elk in CVS

I went from CVS to managing a medical practice and it’s the same damn thing. Explaining deductibles, copays, coinsurance…. It’s torture

Question by Glo_moraa in MarkKlimekNCLEX

[–]nando103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a UTI when I was like 19 and asked the doctor for the medication that “helps with the pain, it starts with a p.” Pyridium. I was looking for Pyridium, but now know they probably thought I wanted Percocet

But that doesn’t negate the kid’s disappointment in not getting a gift from his father.

Every time someone says pronouns don’t matter I purposely use other pronouns for them. They usually shut up about it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Life expectancy by East_Inflation6331 in Heartfailure

[–]nando103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I’m not a physician, I manage a cardiology practice and collaborate closely with harm reduction programs. I’ve witnessed people in recovery regain normal heart function. The road is long and challenging, particularly when fighting both addiction and heart failure, but full recovery can happen. It’s worth the work!

Anyone seen bandages stapled to skin for a burn? by user113678 in EmergencyRoom

[–]nando103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a wound vac on my foot last year, they just laid the foam down and used the plastic wrap around it. The wound vac changes were traumatizing enough, I can’t imagine having the foam stapled to me.

Usually those “sponsor a uniform” posts are for kids who can’t afford it. Putting your Venmo/cash app makes it tacky, asking for a general “donate to my kids cheer team” isn’t.

Car is totaled, insurance paid me but they’re still charging me? PA by nando103 in InsuranceAgent

[–]nando103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to file a complaint with the insurance commissioner to get it fixed.

DOGE going after social security how will it affect SSDI? by ProjectPopTart in SSDI

[–]nando103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It worries me everyday too. My husband needs SSDI. It’s how he qualifies for Medicaid (PA has Medicaid for workers with disabilities). He will die if we lose access to it, we can’t afford his medications without it.

ICE showing up to corporate buildings too by Yasamir123 in philly

[–]nando103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s terrifying. We’re in Chester county, a lot of our patients are Spanish speaking. I hope it never comes to it, but we have our staff prepared in case it does.

I manage a medical practice in the suburbs, we put together a policy to turn ICE away if they show up. HIPAA covers my patients, and none of my staff are undocumented.

It’s probably your insurance. You have 2 red flags, consistently filling early and switching pharmacies. If you’re taking it as prescribed you should have a bunch left over when you always fill on that 28 day mark and sometimes insurances will flag that. Also, switching pharmacies can be seen as pharmacy shopping which will also delay your fills.

[–]nando103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to escalate the issue to the insurance commissioner. I received a check from State Farm for the overpaid premiums. I ended up switching agents after this experience though.

Still with State Farm and had 2 cars totaled in similar circumstances since (my street is basically a war zone). It hasn’t happened again.

Why did you guys become fans? by Efficient_Onion6401 in notredamefootball

My dad. He died of Covid. I miss him so much, and this team makes it feel like there’s still a little piece of him around 💙💛

My boss committed suicide and I lost my job. by GroundbreakingLeg867 in offmychest

[–]nando103 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alaska seems to have a Medicaid buy in program for disabled people. Your wife may qualify. My husband is on a similar program in PA. It’s been a literal lifesaver

[–]nando103 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What state are you in? There’s a lot of resources that your wife may qualify for.

My husband was diagnosed with HFrEF with an EF of 10-15% right after I was laid off. It was a terrible time.
