CI2: ebullient ignorance

 Logic problem (sort of) 
CBS news reports that fuel cutoff switches were flipped, causing a plane to lose power and crash.
One pilot asked the other why the switches were flipped, and the answer was that they did not flip them.

My doctor is in a medical-group that my insurance company did not recognize, and so my insurance card acknowledged him but not his group.
This was because of a faulty group code, which I was told was the code to give the insurance company.
His medical group, which is part of a Huge Conglomerate of medical groups, under one gargantuan company, has a searchable database.
If you list him exactly, he won't show up in the database.
Listing him by location buries his name, but it's there.
Listing his last name only, he finally shows up correctly.
(There is no code.)

Solution: (credit goes to a smarter person than me) is, release the Name of the medical group to my insurance company, but not the code.
I wondered why this collection of real-smart people couldn't work this out amongst themselves without involving me, and I said so, a little too loudly.
My conclusion is that everyone everywhere follows whatever a computer tells them, whether or not it makes sense. 

This edit was brought to you by:
My medical insurance card.
"FYB" (wtf is "FYB")?

Insurance you never ever have to use is nice, I guess.
But what if (god forbid) you have to use it? I'm not looking forward to it.

This next bloggy bit has little to do with computers....
OK my Dexcom system is technically a computer, but it ignores totally what I'm about to write.
The little adhesive sticker surrounding the Dexcom G6 sensor tends to fall off in a breeze, so I try to tape it down.
I ran out of hospital-grade Curad paper tape, and CVS had it but it was soo expensive that I opted for a cheaper version.
"We are not amused," my skin said angrily, all red faced.
I'd show a photo but it's creepy, "Do you want to see my rash?"

So I'll show a picture of the offending tape instead.

*You* have no problems, I know, but
You're not me

I splurged and bought "Micropore tape" but it isn't "Curad."
Will my skin notice?
And is the rash a telltale sign of an organ or two dying??

Assuming the generic cheapo tape isn't offensive to my upper-crust skin,

I'll edit this in a week or so.
