no I wasn't afraid of that. It didn't seem that bad at the time, just painful.

My question to you is... Why do you think that strippers(whose job is physical and who often suffer injuries at work) are somehow not worthy of the healthcare you support for everyone else?

---

I think you took it a bit too personal. I was only trying to imply that some mild injury (e.g. stripper falling off the pole) does not compare to a major injury (e.g. firefighter falling 3 stories off a building) especially in a person who did not need to go emergently to an ER.

Your doctor was wrong, the insurance company was right--based on all the info you provided. God willing, you would not have gotten that CT scan under a government subsidized health care plan... because it simply was not warranted.

A cpl days later I still had a headache though and went to my Dr who ordered a CAT scan to rule out any potentially dangerous problems since I hit my head pretty hard and was still having problems from it. Even though head trauma CAN be life threatening and the danger still exists days, sometimes weeks later.

---

Please give me an example of those "potentially dangerous problems". What danger do you think exists weeks later? Feel free to consult google or your doctor (who ordered a test he knew you didn't need and would have provided the necessary paperwork to Humana if he really wanted you to get it).

Don't you get it? If your doctor felt it was really important for you to have a CT scan, all he had to do was pick up the telephone and discuss the case with Humana, or else (if he wasn't too lazy) he could have provided the appropriate documentation in the first place to justify a CT.

There is no justification for an MRI, by the way.
