Fumiko Ladd Chino: Nobody should suffer or die due to prior authorization

Fumiko Ladd Chino, Attending in Radiation Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, shared a post on X:

“I’m in too much pain to the point that I can’t tolerate it anymore.

Please please please I beg our research on prior Authorization shows there’s a large component of human suffering due to prior Authorization denials.

Nobody should suffer or die due to prior authorization. No one.”
