Laughter is the Best Medicine
[Image: 6-piece blue colored background with a Siamese cat.Text reads: “TOP: “Your claim has been denied. Your doctor didn’t state what his examination concluded.” BOTTOM: … I don’t know. Maybe that my lifetime illness hasn’t miraculously cured itself?”] Because it just isn’t good enough to refer to the fact you have a chronic illness.  It has to be spelled out that the doctor diagnosed you again that day on the form to be approved. Who knows.  My RA might have suddenly vanished!  How can they know for sure if the doctor doesn’t state AGAIN that I have it?
