 Dear Lord Steve, I feel sick for you.  I can't believe they play with people's lives like this.  Actually, I do believe it, as they are doing similar stuff with me at the appeal level.
 I've often been worried that someone is reading these posts and started to watch every thing I said, but these forums are the only place to really talk to people who understand.  So I tell my tales and hope for the best.
 
 I wish I had some words of wisdom to offer, but all I can do is wish you well, and tell you that I understand your frustration.  This system sucks.  I wish they taught compassion and ethics in medical school as well as how to cut.
