So they don’t answer their phones?

I’m sorry this happened to you and I’m sorry for me. This is a nightmare.

You will hear 10 different opinions from 10 different people. The only thing that works for cutting through the bullshit red tape at Mass RMV is to show up in person and block a couple hours out of your schedule

That is definitely the case but I also must obtain a permit.

So many people brag about never using sick time and I’m over here taking mental health days.

I wish you the best of luck. Our RMV is the worst. I am in a similar situation only because of them - when I tried to restore my license after a suspension I was misled by two different employees, then when I took the trip to one of their major offices I was told I could have just renewed it at the local office but was now ONE day past that deadline and now have start from scratch like a kid. I'm 50, and I had a class B CDL. Not jumping through those hoops again!

This is directly from MA RMV site: If your (out of state) license has been expired more than 1 year, a full test (written and road) and an eye test will be required. If your license is active or is expired for less than 1 year, a written and road test is not required.

I graduated to Medicare and the coverage even with Medicare Advantage plan is not nearly as good

Unless you're a public sector hack.

I live alone. Not everyone friends willing to take a full day off work for multiple in-patient medical procedures where sedation is required.

How about Salisbury MA? Housing prices here are lower than surrounding towns and you get the beach too. There is no traffic on 95/128 S in the AM until you hit Reading. It’s about 30-35 minutes to Lynnfield/Peabody. Slight slowdown where 128 merges with Route 1 when everyone switches lanes but it clears right up.

Hey Dave, please stop talking about me

Yep, the state pays out something like 20% of unused sick time. But I believe you have to retire, not just quit or go work elsewhere. i think

Other Employers typically don’t offer this benefit.

Nantucket year rounders are not rich.

This reminds…I love flying around the Cape and islands on MSFS2020. It’s an amazing game

South Coast has some ridiculous examples of 1%'ers abutting the poorest in the state.

You might have a case for wrongful termination. I believe it’s a violation of retaliation laws, which I believe there are both federal and state. You made a good faith complaint against harassment in the workplace and got fired as a result. Document everything and look for a good attorney.

It is a family practice.

Do your children go to a pediatrician or a family practice? Only my pediatrician office has this policy. I’m wondering if it’s just pediatrician that are doing this.

My pediatrician office said my son can’t give permission at all to access his records. The only thing I can see is billing. They said my son wasn’t allowed to give his permission for me to access his care. I just don’t think 12 year old is old enough to make all medical decisions.

Yes but a PT1 can be approved for you and an escort. You can then ask a friend, neighbor, family member, etc to be your escort.

Escort. I can get a PT1 but can’t be sedated without one.

Please do check it! I know what State HIPAA laws overrides Federal HIPAA law. So the MA law is what will be followed, even though it doesn’t seem entirely clear! Full disclosure: I’m not a parent. I work in healthcare and I’m trying to get a handle on policies around youth and their records. For what it’s worth, I agree with you!

People who have Mass Health get medical transportation! You don't have to belong to CCA to get that benefit.
