   Used Waze Carpool about 30 times 6 months ago. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the level of support. I reported two software bugs in detail and they did get back to me quickly both times and we had a fairly complex discussion. I actu

   It actually does not help to say this answer, it would go over badly in 95% of interviews no matter how egregious the unethical request. The interviewer typically questions if you're being truthful and if they will be accused of the sa

   Yep. Before the ACA passed, 50% of my claims (of which I had many) would come back denied and I had to go through and appeal all of them. After the ACA, no denials. However, the actual prices have gone through the roof. Before the ACA, the

   I agree that almost all medical providers that take insurance do not compete on price. However, even for medical services that insurance doesn't cover or cash only practices, people are terrible consumers. One of the biggest problems I

   I've had to learn this the hard way as I've gotten ill. Finding a PCP is different from finding a specialist. For a PCP I'm looking for someone I can have a relationship with, reasonable access/availability, and the abil

   Generally true, I'm the exception. My friends have jokingly told me for years, "You are the most inarticulate smart person I know." Went in for some psychometric testing recently and the doctor was fascinated and first thing

   Exactly. I think this would end up like the restaurants that tried out a no-tipping policy. All of their best servers left and turnover went from low to incredibly high. The best engineers would negotiate on title, or ask for creation of a

   I'm a woman and fairly aggressive and experienced negotiator. When I negotiate for myself, I find the gap is about 10%. When I used to work as an agent and I was negotiating on the behalf of others, it was the exact opposite. I was abl

   Mostly admin salaries/profit. Hospitals suffer from a similar issue as universities. The prices are high but the doctors complain about reduced pay.

    Any tips on finding one? I'm assuming you don't mean infectious disease specialist. I'm familiar with most of the allergists in my area and none are immunologists.I just did a search on google and I can't seem to find an

    Interesting, that is what my doctor said as well. I did test positive for SIBO, so I am currently taking rifaximin which should help. I had a friend with various vague problems as well and he said he felt 75% better after getting treated fo

    I have not tried it, but my functional medicine doctor has said she has had patients try it with a decent success rate.

    I'm currently seeing a functional medicine MD recommended by my rheumatologist. Functional medicine doctors are really into the gut-immune side and my rheumatologist says he's seen some amazing results. I've been on an elimin

    I have an autoimmune disease and way too many friends with them as well, so I'm very familiar with the seeing countless doctors. Most people ended up getting a proper diagnosis at either a rheumatologist or neurologist.

    This. The homeless crazy problem has gotten much worse with the introduction of spice. They were much more harmless before but now you don't know when one will just start stabbing you without warning. Also doesn't help that now ev

    I had a very similar experience as you with interviewing and feedback. Some places I felt did genuinely find a better fit and would provide some specifics, others were oddly evasive when I tried to question them further. I eventually figure

    I used to slightly prefer Lyft but now greatly prefer Uber. In the beginning, Lyft only drivers were generally a bit more personable and Lyft Line passengers were generally always outside waiting and happy about sharing a ride. I've mo

    25-50% of my 60-100 claims used to be denied every single year, I'd fight all of them and win. I had no claim denials in 2014 and a handful in 2015 with the same insurer. Pre-authorizations which used to be denied or delayed all now ma
