Of course, it's not like the insurance company wasn't allowing this woman to have a CT scan, they were just refusing to pay for it. Which makes them pieces of shit, but it was the for-profit hospital that demanded payment for a procedure which costs them a relative pittance to perform, and refused service after they didn't get their money.
I'm not blaming this guy at all, just pointing out the absurdity of the fact that the woman was probably in the same building as the CT scanner, and this guy is pleading with some claims department because he, as a doctor, is not allowed to just wheel her into the room and turn the machine on.
