Battles

1) In 24 hours, I have talked to three U of M prescription coverage representatives, three Walgreen's Pharmacists, one prescription specialist from my doctor's office, received one email from Walgreen's, left one message at my doctor's office, was transferred three times, visited Walgreen's once and was written one incorrect prescription for a medication I don't even take. After a long battle, I am victorious. I pick up a six-month supply (as compared to a 90-day supply) of all my prescriptions on Monday, plus a $200 co-pay.

2) Comerica Bank told me they would give me 52 Kenyan shillings for $50 US.

Huh?

Let's do the math.
According to Google (as of 8/14/09), 1 Kenyan shilling = 0.013132 U.S. dollars.
Therefore, 52 Kenyan shillings = $.68
Total Loss: $49.32

3) The CIP has published a program specific guidebook for every K site except Kenya and Senegal. Africa is a little behind on the times. Again.

  1. Man, I be havin' battles, too. At least you didn't get double-teamed by nurses.

    Also:
    Come on, Comerica, you're a bank! Start acting like one.
