    While this fact has broken me, I will give this podcast a 5 star rating because that’s the type of hard truth I need to h... more

  • Elise Does the Heavy Lifting

    Elise does all the work and brings ALL the energy to every episode. I literally listened since the start of F35 and just can’t bear Doree any more because she’s just phoning it in.

So they - they, basically, kind of bully, uh, therapists - mental healthcare providers - uh, out of the system because they make their lives really difficult, they make it really difficult for providers to get, um, get claims approved.
