For my new readers, Proud FA is a bosom buddy and the former dean of feederism. Proud's sister (We will call her Sarah.) had all sorts of problems with uterine fibrosis and endometriosis. Her doctor sent her for a hysterectomy. Her doctor had told her that she could not get pregnant due to the fibrosis. Like most American doctors her doctor was wrong. Proud's sister could indeed get pregnant and an ultrasound just before the surgery showed that she was pregnant. Proud's sister nor was ever informed of this fact.
There was a heated argument between a nurse, the ultrasound tech and the doctor who was scheduled to perform the hysterectomy. The doctor wanted to go ahead with the hysterectomy but the nurse would have none of it. She quickly informed Proud FA and his brother in law that Sarah was indeed pregnant and that the doctor and his crew of butchers were going to perform the hysterectomy in spite of the fact that Sarah was pregnant. Needless to say that when Proud FA found out he was livid. Proud FA loves kids and the thought of some scumbag doctor aborting his sister's baby was to much for him. Proud FA has a strong protective instinct especially when it comes to children.
I got a call from Proud FA's wife Thinnette begging me to meet her at the hospital to help her talk Proud down. She was sure he would get himself arrested for a attacking the scum bag doctor. I called Proud's cell phone and made him promise not to do anything until I got there. He agreed and I grabbed Thinnette and we took off for the hospital post haste. She stayed with Proud in the phone while I drove.
I had to physically restrain Proud while Thinnette rounded up all involved. We wanted to make sure that the nurse was correct about Sarah being pregnant. The nurse claimed that there was a fetal heartbeat seen on the ultra-sound. I located the technologist and when he began to try to bullshit me I explained that if I pointed him out to Proud FA that Proud FA would tear his head off. For those of you who don't know Proud FA, Proud FA's other nickname is ET or Extra Testicle. Proud is one o these guys with an extra Y chromosome. I have seen the 5'9" 160 pound Proud beat the crap out of men twice his size. Any guy who can eat the pussy of fat girl and fuck 10 of them a night is nobody to trifle with. Not only did the tech admit that the Sarah was pregnant he provided up with the images that showed a female fetus.
A healthy Millicent is now three years old and her Uncle Proud FA beams with pride for his first niece and I, Fat Bastardo am equally thrilled that she is my goddaughter.
As usual the doctor and the hospital continue their criminal activity. They fired the nurse for informing Proud and Sarah's husband and the technologist also threw the nurse under the bus so that he could keep his job.
The nurse who has filed suit against the hospital does not see herself as a hero although all of us involved see her as one. Proud and Thinnette send her a gift card every Christmas. Sarah speaks with her frequently and she is now been adopted as an aunt to Millicent.
The scumbag doctor who would have killed Millicent did not even receive a reprimand from the hospital board of the state medical board. And just when I thought it could not get any sleazier both the hospital and doctors sent Sarah a bill.

Medical Billing Fraud
Medical Billing Fraud is Rampant
Blue Cross Blue Shield estimates that 1/3 of every dollar Americans spend on health care services goes to cover waste and fraud. That's more than we spend on national defense and we spent nearly 600 billion on our defense. Much of this fraud is billing fraud and chances are your own doctor is one of the thieves.
Understanding Healthcare Fraud
Patients and their medical insurance information can be exploited in various ways that result in increased costs and decreased confidence in the healthcare system. As part of our efforts to improve and protect the healthcare system, the Blue Cross and Blue Shield National Anti-Fraud Department is undertaking a nationwide campaign to share how physicians, healthcare providers and customers can help with healthcare fraud detection and prevention.
Healthcare
fraud is a federal crime under most criminal codes and consists of
intentional deceit within the healthcare system for the purpose of
illicit gains. Healthcare abuse is similar activity or behavior where
knowing intent to obtain an unlawful gain cannot be established.
Examples of healthcare fraud and abuse:
- Phantom claims for services or supplies that were never provided
- Using someone else’s medical insurance information to obtain services or supplies
- Falsifying signatures or medical records to support misrepresented services or supplies
- Unbundling services from a group to unlawfully increase medical payment
- Misrepresenting the location where services or supplies are provided
- Rendering medical care without a license
- Duplicate claim submissions
Protect Yourself
We encourage
you to follow these general guidelines to safeguard yourself from
preventable medical errors and improve the quality of care you receive.
- After care, review your statement to verify accuracy. Learn how to read your Explanation of Benefits.
- Ask your doctor to explain the reason for services
- Report any discrepancies to your health insurance plan or payer
- Beware of "free" medical services, as illicit entities use this lure to obtain information
- Safeguard your insurance card the same as you would your credit card
- Report instances where co-payments or deductibles are waived
- Don’t give your insurance number to marketers or solicitors
- Never sign a blank insurance form
The Costs of Health Care Fraud
Healthcare expenditures topped $2 trillion in
2008 and are expected to exceed $3 trillion by 2014. The most
conservative estimate of the amount of healthcare expenditures lost to
fraud is three percent, which equates to over $70 billion annually.
That amount costs the average family of four
over $200 a year above what they would pay for the honest delivery of
healthcare goods and services. Losses attributed to wasteful spending,
including fraud and abuse, may be as high as 30%.
Report Fraud
If you suspect that healthcare dollars are
being paid improperly or as a result of false or misleading information
provided to a Blue Cross and Blue Shield company, notify your local Blue Cross and Blue Shield company.Our Partners
