A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

Brilliant analysis of USA-specific trauma, dissociation, and possible paths to community care. It’s a Must Watch. Please share!
