My personal favorite insurance story comes from a neurologist I know. They were trying to get a prior authorization approved for a curative hemispherectomy. For those outside the medical field, that basically boils down to removing half of someone’s brain to try to cure an uncontrollable seizure disorder. This is usually limited to patients under 4 years old to maximize motor and language development, but I digress. After much arguing with the insurance representative, it was approved on the grounds that the patient only gets one.

I feel this on a deep level because I see it happen so often.

Working in a niche field I see this a lot. For example, we needed an adapter for an amplifier from a small research equipment company. The provided us with a 3d printed component MacGyvered with existing hardware. I would imagine the total number they will ever need to make would be less than 100. I can’t imagine a better use for 3d printing.

I know it’s not exactly the same, but once you hit the max, why not remote into another VM and continue?
