There is nothing like a good meme in this day and age to help get you through the day. After all, humor is the best medicine, but it’s also a pretty good feeling to know that thousands of people out there might feel the same way as you.

As “every day” and perhaps “dumb” as they might seem, memes are an all-in-all fascinating concept. Simply put, it’s an element of culture, usually a thing with some meaning attached to it, that gets passed from person to person like a viral infection. The internet has simply allowed this to happen a lot faster.
At the same time, the ability to create and spread memes so quickly also contributes to their lack of longevity. Most memes come and go in a matter of months if not weeks, as formats and topics change and evolve.
I worked as a temp for a temporary company that the insurance outsourced it paperwork to. I was just regular admin, but the of the workers who talked to the doctors about claims informed me that the instructions that came down the line from the insurance company were, “deny, deny, deny, deny, until the doctors screams some more, does a c**p-load more of paperwork, and then maybe approve it.” I kid you not. If you still think universal healthcare is a bad idea, please don’t get seriously ill.
Con confirm. I worked ar a large HMO, sitting next to the approval dept. I've since told many people, "just keep calling & complaining", cause approvals largely deoended on the mood of the rep. A huge claim was approved the day the CEO got to work and found an investigative tv show waiting in hos pffice. *Poof*... approved.

Try needing a referral to a cardiologist after being in the ER.. but the ER refers you to a doctor out of your network that you COULD NEVER AFFORD... so you call your PCP for a referral to a doctor you already found in your network but they need to see you in the office to make sure you actually need to see this cardiologist.. but they can't get you in for 3 weeks... so you call the ER to see if they'll change their referral... they say no bc they don't "work w/ those doctors" (bc they have contracts n don't make money if they don't) all the while I was just in the hospital for heart issues at the age of 30 n my cardiac enzymes are way high n this isn't something that can be put off.... but I literally don't have a choice to wait or go to a different ER n hope they'll write me a referral to a doctor in my network.. except I already used my "1 ER visit coverage" for the year... so it will cost me thousands minimum. Welcome to America.
That is so much utter bull c**p with every doctor, admin and other all chasing dollars while a patient is in critical need, I can't conceive of this, it's inhumane. My mum went in with a heart attack, stayed a week and a half, had consults in hospital, scans, MRIs, everything you can think of plus the 24 hour monitoring, diet and blood tests...she is also diabetic. Ended up transferred to another hospital because she could get a bypass done the quickest there, spent another 2 weeks there, post OP came back to the original hospital 8 more days. Nobody looked at the dollars, nobody needed to, it was all covered in the public health system. All the doctors, nurses and specialists had to do was their job which was to save her life and they did God bless every one of them.

Insurance (continued): okay, She does need it, but we're not going to cover it.....
The NHS does this too. I am allergic to the generic asthma inhalers, and this IS listed on my file. But every time, they issue me with generic albuterol. Every. Time. And yet, when I point out they're wasting money by messing around and issuing the wrong thing, they just won't hear it.

Dr: you have this medical condition, hands over prescription. Pharmacy fills prescription Insurance company: oh you can't have that medication for that condition but you can have it for a common symptom of that condition's lack of treatment. Me: what?! Insurance company: it's our policy and we must follow our policy. Me: who wrote the policy? Insurance company: it's a secret.
Literally in this hell right now. The added bonus is that the Dr's office says I have no medication benefits and the insurance company won't let me see my benefits because it's a 3rd party through COBRA. So, who knows if I can take a different medication.
Or, how about this? My daughter turned 18, she still had 7 months of high school left. Our insurance company denied her ADHD meds because they don't cover it for adults!
I have Kaiser coverage. Went in with back and neck trouble. Had an X-ray that day and an MRI two days later. Still waiting for the doctor to review it and make recommendations from there. It doesn't have to be his way. Vote Democrats into office locally and nationally and we'll get our country back from Trump and his gang of thieves.
Yes. Is there really a big problem with people just deciding they need heart surgery for no reason? Okay, there are hypochondriacs out there who try to get treatment for diseases they don't really have, and people who say, "when my brother-in-law had these symptoms he took such-and-such medicine and it really helped". But couldn't insurance companies find a way to not pay for such treatment without creating a gigantic pain for all the normal doctors and patients?
OHHHHHH I HATE THIS!! Like hey insurance, YOU ARE NOT MY DOCTOR!! Why tf do you think they prescribed the medicine to me in the first place?! Just do your job and tell the pharmacy "Ok"
Pharmacy for pet meds: you might be a crackhead tweaker, so you can't have your dog's epilepsy mefs until the very last day possible.
Several times a year for a duration of many years, I had to appeal my insurance's denial of a prescribed medication. Pain in the a*s.
Just think how much money they could save by not having to employ all the customer facing staff who are fielding the mountains of calls and documents regarding the refusals. If they just paid out on reasonable requests. You know, like stuff a doctor has said the patient needs...

SO glad I live in Australia, especially when it comes to medical issues.
Filling a pain med script (that you've taken for years): My doctor: You need this. Pharmacist: I need to see more verification that you are actually in pain and need this (forget the fact that we were giving you quite literally almost three times as much with no problem 10 years ago). Deep thanks to the addicts who ruined life for all of us with REAL pain.
In the earlier days of medication-assisted addiction therapy, it was a crazy nightmare. You needed prior authorization for the medication (but not for potent opiate painkillers!) But they wanted you to start the medication that day. And prior authorization could take 48 hrs, more if it was a Friday. So yeah, you need that medication to start your recovery, and you need it every day without skipping a dose. But you can't have it til Monday so you're going to keep using over the weekend. So your prescription (hopefully) gets approved and you get your medication. You have to come back every week to get a prescription for another week's medication. Let's say your appointment is every Thursday. Eventually there will come a month where there is 5 Thursdays. Nope, insurance denies it, because you can't possibly need 5 weekly prescriptions in a month, red-flag him/her! They're obviously abusing them! (I'm SO glad medication-assisted addiction treatment has gotten better, at least here.)
Often, memes are a classic way to convey in-jokes in a community. After all, most professions, areas, fandoms, and demographics all have meme pages set up specifically for their own use. Remember, a core component of memes are the common points of reference, that allow most people to get the necessary information out of what often amounts to an image and a little bit of text.
Ok wait! I've never considered winning therapy. This changes things.
The idea of a meme as a sort of virus is actually quite old. Indeed, the very word, at least as we know it today, comes from Richard Dawkins's 1976 book “The Selfish Gene.” He was arguing about aspects of culture that are passed around, mutating and changing, but keeping a recognizable form. But it would only be around the time of the internet when memes truly took off.
It always annoys me that we can sleep wrong. Seriously, body, how is that so difficult?
After all, with digital tools, now everyone can pass around and create memes. While in the past, access to broadcasting tools and media was highly limited, now, with the right moves, anyone can go viral from the comfort of their bedrooms. This has created a sort of meme golden age, where there is new content being created daily.
It's a vicious cycle really, but curious how they got this photo of me?
Maybe they have PTSD from an incident involving a Great Dane coming into their house and eating the leftover Taco Bell that was on the table. Said Great Dane then proceeded to bark very loudly and wake up the OP, who was taking a nap. They thought that there was some sort of wild animal in the house, so they hid under the covers. The dog then left and OP checked the security cameras to see what it was. The OP then got angry because they were saving that Taco Bell for later. Since that day, they have never liked dogs.
We did just that for our 9 year old Shih Tzu. 2 years later, she’s happier and has more pep in her step.
Still have no idea, but hey, no job interview has asked me how many days are in August. I think I’m ok for now.
No, work on your s**t, the other person doesn't have to suffer because you called it
I'm chubby and it's great. I actually look curvy in swimsuits
Please don't, I'm already having a tough time trying to figure out what the kids are saying these days, as it is.
