SpinergyDude who he is....
Introduction of SpinnergyDude
Background: Massive customer service in retail of all levels from stockboy to store managar. No one could provide better customer service.
Manual Labor: Landscaping - Was enjoyable, however in 1995 at age 25 a wierd work accident would leave me partially disabled.
Sadly New York State Unemployment office would not provide any sort of help. Even job retraining, which is all I wanted. In fact the employees suggested my wife and I divorce in order for me to get benefits.
My Core: Will not allow me to accept anything if it means I lie or cheat to get it. No, I need to earn everything I get. I saw my parents fraud the system, and promised I would never do that.
1997 - I would have just finished teaching myself how to type, and use my Mac SE 30, then Power Mac PC to learn more about the Office Industry. I also taight myself how to use Photoshop, Quarke Express, and Illustrator (eventhough I hated that one.
2 days after I begged to get back to working from my donated Rolls wheelchair, I would land my first job... A medical records auditor or a local Home Health Aid office for that Summer.
OH, yeah I would learn that pain even level eight and ten... Would not affect my spirit, my mood, my ability to never give up... I never give up.
Even having no college and being pushed through thr public school system as I was learning disabled, and was called retarded, and worse my entire life... I would never give up...
I would work at Stanford University for a few years at the book store during rush. I also years later would work at R.I.T. same thing. What shocked everyone was I could converse al nearly any topic... I was always asked at both colleges if I was an undergrad student. And, they always looked stunned when I said, I read those books you buy for the fun of learning.
Where I would end up working is Strong Memorial Hospital, where even the best they have to offer could not provide medical resolution to my medical condtions. In fact like this site here, I make sure I am the first or one of the first to locate anything at all connected to medical needs, and information. I never give up. And, I do not emplot bots, or spiders, or any automated system to keeo up on things... I am live and searchin constantly for news on anything that could lead to my being out of chronic pain.
Well, after seven years of being around Dr's, and while I am not one, I was properly trained on how to triage people over the phone, and in person for dental emergencies, and often had to translate medical speak for many Dr's into layperson speak so patients could relate to the information in a way they would actually use it for the good it offered. Otherwise it is sad how little people really grasp or listen to this type of stuff.
Due to my diverse background I would learn first hand just how many people in the US at least do not know they have rights. Not in the medical areas, in civil, as well as customer, and of course as patients.
At age 35 just in 2005 I would be diagnosed by my wife of all people with Adult ADHD, turned out I was not learning disabled all those years. And, so I read, and sought out proper Dr's to train me to work with, and not fight my gifts... Well then due to trying to resolve my pain issue, my Dr's very well meaning accidently sent me into a full manic brealdown. I ended up in the mental wing of the very hospital I worked at. And, all I can say was it was a nightnmare to fight through all of that. I made it, and even my Dr who I see now every 6months is shocked that I am on hardly any dose of lithium, .04 in my bood, and I have bever even had one slip, or shift in the mood you see here online. I am back and like never before.
You see 2005 was my rebirth, everything I thought I was, and understood changed... I could type, I could not converse, I actually sounded smart... Like I had always wanted to be...
Then I got a nice job promotion, and pay increase when I went back to work at Strong Orthopaedics... Where as I had before in dentistry helped sign people in make appointments and advocate for them.
I love helping people, and enjoy making people feel human again in a society where everything is about get them in and move them out... In one day on average I could sign in over 110 people. In one months time I would sign in an average of over 2,200 people. And, every last one got all of my full attention. I won awards, and my boss to this day nearly two years later has help my job open for me.I have never once asked, hinted or even bribed her to do so. And, just about anyplace I go people recognize me, even now in my wheelchair...
I do not claim or pretend to be a Dr, nurse, and anything other than a layperson. If someone asks for ideas or tips, I always as I have with my patients... Learn about what you need to, then talk to your Dr. about anything before you try it. I am not trained to know what is best for you.
And, sense 09-07 I have also found out I know a ton more information than I ever thought I knew,,,
In 2005 I would also appeal the SSD system. 2-08 I would sit in front of the Administraive Law Judge... And, in less than 15 minutes leave with my appeal fully over turned.
12-07 My providers sent a 30 page packet of predetermination in. 1-16-08 it was denied.
After my appeal I wrote was denied... I knew something was very wrong. Not just the illegal stuff I called my insurance company on, and the error they made, and all the other medical details that they should have red flagged if legit medical professionals with licensure, and or full creddenitials as a Dr, and specialized in the feild of my particlure medical problem within reason. They would had caught all these things, and made sure that they got resolved before the intitial denial...
4-25-08 I contact my insurance company by emial. 4-30-08 The head of complaints calls me, we finilize some details. Later that same day I get one more call and after a little head to head, point by point sparing... I deliver the KO punch... And, my denial was fully overturned.
Sadly I can not write as well as I would like to be able to... And, to do what you see here.... Has wiped me out pretty much...
However, I never give up, never.
And, now I want to share this knowledge, and if I need to share it with a out of US news resource, as no on here is willing to dare step on the US Medical Insurance Industries toes... Well, not me.
SpinergyDude,
Proactive Patient * Advocate
Also I am not anti insurance, as I also have the blueprints in my mind to allow it to run for less, earn more profit, make people very happy, and reduce rates... It's called "Do it right the first time."
