Do You Believe in Miracles?

Apr 05, 2010

At the time of my last entry, everything had gone south in terms of actually having my surgery. The hospital, at the very last minute had declined to accept Care Credit, the option we had been offered at the information session should our insurance not be willing to cover the cost of the surgery. Two days before my surgery was scheduled, I was writing a thank you note to my surgeon and her staff for all their efforts in trying to make this all happen. It certainly did not look good. The next day, I had just arrived at work when my phone rang. It was Dr. Lee's office. It was March 9th, my daughter's birthday. Kim, from Dr. Lee's office told me that Dr. Lee had gone to the CEO of the hospital and told him that what they were doing was unfair saying that patients who had started the process could not just whip out a credit card and pay the amount that would be due to the hospital. The upshot was that Dr. Lee paid my hospital expenses from her office and I am paying her. How's that for having someone in your corner. The surgery happened the next morning. Everything went even better than expected and I have lost 16 pounds!
