Ever had to wait 45 minutes in the lobby just to wait another 30 in the exam room while imagining your doctor is in the back watching YouTube? In this episode, I break down what's really going on behind the scenes of a chaotic clinic day—and no, it's not lunch. Plus, a very satisfying rant about healthcare corporatization, a strangely relaxing moment involving blood in the eye (someone else's, not mine), and an update on Arkansas doing something good (I know, I'm surprised too). I also ask an important question: is it fair to say sneezing too hard might ruin your vision? Yes. Yes, it is. Takeaways: If I Could Wire My Brain to Every Patient's Brain, I Would. But since that tech doesn't exist, here's a 45-minute explainer on why your wait time is not me scrolling TikTok in a break room. Private Equity, Insurance Companies, and the Slow Death of My Schedule. Who's really making your doctor run behind? Spoiler: it's not your doctor. Arkansas Just Did Something Cool? I'm Shook. Finally, some legislation that takes aim at PBMs. Can we get 49 more of these, please? Sneezing Shouldn't Break Your Eye… But It Might. A 24-year-old. A sudden cloud in his vision. And the diagnosis I didn't expect to make until he mentioned allergy season. Yes, There Was Blood. But Only a Thimbleful. Ophthalmology is rarely a bloody field.

Sandra notes a profit decline, citing weather events like wildfires, but thinks Progressive (PGR) and Travelers (TRV) are well-positioned. Dann notes that Travelers has increased its dividend for “20 years in a row,” and had a strong earnings beat this quarter, while Progressive's was mixed. “It's an industry that competes entirely based on pricing,” he notes.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

A driver who scraped another car with his vehicle while leaving a bar carpark has had an insurer's decision to turn down his claim on the basis he had been drinking overturned. The claim was initially denied because the insurer said the driver was 'under the influence' - but he argued two handles of beer was hardly inebriated. Barrister Chris Patterson says there's a lesson that can be taken from this. "If you've been wronged, then it's worth taking the insurance company on. If you know that the insurance company's on good grounds because the grounds they gave you are fair and you accept them - it's probably not worth taking them on."

In this episode of the Great Trials Podcast, Steve Lowry hosts Kimball Jones and Joshua Berrett, partners at Bighorn Law, to discuss a recent landmark case in Clark County, Nevada. The case involved their client, Timothy Kuhn, who suffered severe injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, after being rear-ended. Remember to rate and review GTP on Apple Podcasts Case Details: A Nevada state court jury slammed USAA with a $100 million punitive damages verdict in a bad faith lawsuit over the insurance giant's delays in paying out a claim for a zero-fault insured driver involved in a rear-end collision. The Clark County jury awarded the $100 million, in addition to $14 million in compensatory damages, over USAA's actions following a 2018 collision involving plaintiff Timothy Kuhn. USAA determined Kuhn was not at fault after being rear-ended in stationary highway traffic, but when Kuhn sued the driver who hit him to collect damages related to a concussion USAA intervened and argued Kuhn was responsible for the crash. Despite clear fault and significant medical expenses, USAA Casualty Insurance Company failed to reasonably handle his underinsured motorist claim, resulting in prolonged litigation. Jones and Barrett elaborate on the trial strategy, highlighting issues of insurance bad faith and the impressive jury verdict of $7 million in compensatory and $100 million in punitive damages against USAA.

if you have any feedback, please send us a text! Thank you!We were all shocked by the murder of Brian Thompson the United Health Care CEO in early December. What was just as surprising was the comments deny, delay and depose written on the bullets. Once the alleged shooter was arrested, information started to trickle out that he suffered from low back pain and spondylisthesis. Speculation ran rampant that the problems with his back, inadequate treatment, or repeated insurance denials were in some way the catalyst for this terrible crime. These are not questions we know the answers to, but we thought it would be interesting to explore the causes, treatments and epidemiology of low back pain, especially in young people. Dr. Amber Borucki, a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain specialist from Stanford School of Medicine and Dr. Rahki Dayal, Chair of the CSA's Pain Committee and an anesthesiologist and pain specialist at the University of California in Irvine are joining us today to discuss pain management for back pain.

In this episode: Insurance companies in Florida have been quietly pocketing billions of dollars in profits while claiming to lose money, according to an explosive new report from the Tampa Bay Times and Miami Herald. The insurance industry used those “losses” as a pretense to lobby Florida politicians into passing a series of industry-written, anti-consumer laws that have left millions of Florida homeowners and business owners paying higher prices for poorer quality policies. And a taxpayer-funded study exposing it all was kept hidden from the public for two years. Tampa Bay Times reporter Lawrence Mower, the journalist who broke the story, joins the show to talk about it.

Today on the Logan Blackman Show we rant about dealing with insurance companies while also sharing an example about why sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. After that Seinfeld esc. intro we turn our attention to the NFL Draft, starting off by taking a look at Jaxson Dart's season and where some people are starting to rank him on social media. Speaking of rankings, we then take a look at Tyler Shough, someone we wrote about back in 2021 who has also seen a big boost in his draft stock in recent weeks. With that we go over whether or not people truly believe what they say on social media or if they're just writing stuff for engagement. Moving more towards the combine we discuss Shedeur Sanders' decision not to throw while also going over why the interview process is truly the more important for 'non-workout quarterbacks.' We then take some time to go over some rumors surrounding Cam Ward, discussing which teams could potentially trade up for him while also looking at some interesting quotes from the NFL Combine. Enjoy!
