Health Insurance Cog

I work on the internal business side of a health insurer--truly, I am just a cog.

Introduction: A Humble Beginning . . .

Once upon a time, I wrote a patient blog, participated in medical blog carnivals, and followed multiple medical and health care related blogs. I wanted to go to med school, and had an interest in all things medical.

I removed my patient blog after witnessing the impact a blog can have on one's personal and professional lives--we are never truly anonymous (some of you may remember Flea, the doctor whose blog was disclosed in a malpractice suit).

I never lost my interest in health care and all things (most things?) medical . . . I've been wanting to blog again, but I've been worried about the many ways my writing could potentially impact me or my current employer. But I have a voice, and I want it to be heard.

Who am I? I am a patient, I am the parent or child of other patients. I am also a business professional in health care--working on the health insurance side. I am a minuscule cog in a very large wheel, but I'm doing everything I can to "fix things that are broken" on my side of the fence.
