A new blogger

I have decided it is time to post my life adventures on a public venue. At 62 I am new to this blogging but I am getting the hang of it. I am not much of a writer, I have spent most of my adult life taking care of people. I am an RN by trade, but as of late I labor in the field of health insurance. This has been an eye opener and I now see why the cost of health insurance is so high. I think you'd be shocked too. Today I got a call from an irate mother who wanted her child to have a medication that required preauthorization. This is because it required the use of another medication before trying this one. NO she wanted this one after all she said " we pay a lot for this insurance". Well I pay as much as she does but the issue was she had a child with ADHD and wanted "that drug", not because it worked better but because it was easier to get a patch on the kid than have her swallow a pill.
