I liked this comment in particular:

For years I’ve had a smartphrase in epic for every test, medication or procedure I ordered that is denied by insurance. Basically stating that the medical director responsible for the denial will be medically and legally liable for any complications that may arise from the lack of such service. I thought it didn’t do shit, just something petty I thought of after a patient of mine lost his transplanted liver because the insurance would persistently deny his immune suppressant meds. It turns out the medical director for a recent insurance denial sent me a letter stating my statements were “inflammatory and inappropriate”. That put me in a good mood.
