Discovery doesn't care if their patients go blind due to their tardiness

My doctor submitted an urgent treatment plan for gamma knife surgery because I have a tumour on my eye that is making me blind. As usual, I had to call and call repeatedly every day to try and get Discovery to approve the plan. On 26 October they promised to get back to me by 4pm - no prizes for guessing- they never got back to me!!!!!! Today I call again and was told shame the case manager was too busy. Then don't make promises you can't keep you idiots!!!!!!!! Do you actually give a €÷^#/* what happens to people or are you just in it to make money? Can you not see from the treatment plan that every day I go more and more blind!!!????

The treatment plan must be approved TODAY by lunch time or I will make sure to sue Discovery and flood social media with this

Love the standard niceties you write to everyone... So reassuring (not). The proof will be in the pudding. Its too late to have the procedure this week anyway, so the damage is done
