Is There Some Other Planet With a Shortage of Idiots?

Excerpt from a let­ter to my pain man­age­ment doc’s office:

On each of my last three vis­its to your office, your recep­tion­ist has informed me that my insur­ance was “invalid.” On each occa­sion, I explained, again, that I am a depen­dent on the pol­i­cy. That isn’t an unusu­al sit­u­a­tion, and I haven’t seen the same prob­lem arise with any oth­er patient on any of my vis­its to your office. 

I hate to assume that your employ­ee is harass­ing me because I have a same-sex part­ner, but that is the only expla­na­tion that presents itself. If you have a bet­ter one, I look for­ward to hear­ing it.
