Yeah, that's what I thought. My best friend used to work in health insurance, and Kaiser really was a raging bitch to her. At least Adam's doctors are nice - we haven't gotten a mean one yet.
Yeah, Montgomery is fantastic. We went there when Adam got severe hives after taking a specific NSAID, and they treated us so well!
Ahh, good point. I shall absolutely make sure all my ICE contacts know I'd prefer Montgomery. A few years ago, I was rushed to GWU hospital because I got a concussion with a possible broken nose at work when I worked in downtown DC. I was a law firm's library assistant, and everyone who worked there was super worried, for one because I was kind of beloved, and for two because they're a law firm. ;) GWU was pretty cool, too. My MRI there showed the damage from the periventricular leukomalacia, and the doctor came back to my bed and said "Well, you have a very fascinating brain!" The nurses would joke with me until I started feeling better. Also, I have a question: Is keeping a concussed person awake a myth at this point? In the ambulance I was talking with an EMT and he told me to stay awake but I really wanted to sleep. I had read an article that completely disproved the concept of making sure people with concussions don't fall asleep lest they don't wake up.
