They Are So Stupid

Last month I asked my primary doctor to refer me to UC Davis to get a second opinion about having surgery. I specifically asked to go there because they are one of the best hospitals in the state, and they have a gynecological oncologist on staff. Most places don't have gyn-oncologists, that's why I currently have to travel 3 hours away to Berkeley to see mine. UC Davis is closer to home and I was hoping I could have my surgery there. Well, my insurance won't send me there because they are outside of my network, but they decided I could see a gynecologist either through Rideout (the local hospital system -- which, I might add, is horrible) or in Oroville, which is a half an hour away from here. The problem? Neither is the type of specialist I need to see for my specific issue. So it is just going to be a huge waste of time. I chose to go with the doctor in Oroville, since I know for a fact that Rideout has no gynecological oncologist (if they did, I would have been sent there to begin with.) There's a very slim possibility the one in Oroville will be qualified to treat my issue, but I doubt it. I swear, my insurance company is so stupid. They can't comprehend my medical problems and just send me wherever without caring if the person is qualified to treat the issue or not. Earlier this year (before I got the referral to the guy in Berkeley) they tried to send me to an abortion specialist at a Planned Parenthood clinic. For a complex surgery to treat severe endometriosis that has my reproductive organs glued to my bowel...Yeah. Morons.
