Navigating the Complex Landscape of Medical Billing: A Comprehensive Guide
In the intricate web of healthcare services, one often overlooked but crucial aspect is medical billing. For many patients, the mere mention of medical billing can evoke feelings of confusion and frustration. However, understanding the intricacies of this process is essential for both healthcare providers and patients alike. In this article, we will delve into the world of medical billing, demystifying its complexities and shedding light on its significance in the healthcare ecosystem.
I. What is Medical Billing? Medical billing is the process of submitting and following up on claims with health insurance companies to receive payment for services rendered by healthcare providers. This multifaceted procedure involves coding, invoicing, and communication with insurance companies to ensure accurate and timely reimbursement for medical services.
II. The Role of Medical Coders: At the heart of medical billing lies the work of medical coders. These professionals assign specific codes to diagnoses and procedures based on the information provided by healthcare providers. Accurate coding is crucial, as it determines the amount of reimbursement a healthcare provider receives. The two primary coding systems in use today are the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT).
III. The Medical Billing Process: A. Patient Registration: The process begins with patient registration, where essential demographic and insurance information is collected. B. Documentation and Coding: Healthcare providers document the services provided and diagnoses made, and medical coders assign appropriate codes. C. Claim Submission: Completed claims are submitted to insurance companies electronically or via paper submission, initiating the reimbursement process. D. Adjudication: Insurance companies review claims for accuracy and adherence to policy guidelines, determining the amount of reimbursement. E. Payment and Denial: Providers receive payment for approved claims, while denied claims may require resubmission with additional information or clarification.
IV. Common Challenges in Medical Billing: A. Coding Errors: Inaccuracies in coding can lead to claim denials and delayed payments. B. Insurance Verification: Failure to verify patient insurance coverage can result in claim rejections. C. Timely Submission: Delays in claim submission can impede the reimbursement process. D. Complex Regulations: Ever-evolving healthcare regulations and policies can pose challenges for healthcare providers.
V. Importance of Patient Understanding: Patients play a vital role in the medical billing process. Understanding insurance coverage, reviewing statements for accuracy, and promptly addressing any discrepancies can contribute to a smoother billing experience. Clear communication between patients and healthcare providers is essential to resolving billing issues effectively.
VI. The Future of Medical Billing: Advancements in technology, such as electronic health records (EHR) and artificial intelligence, are shaping the future of medical billing. These innovations aim to streamline processes, reduce errors, and enhance overall efficiency in the healthcare industry.
Conclusion:
Medical billing is a critical component of the healthcare system, ensuring that healthcare providers receive proper compensation for the services they deliver. While the process may seem daunting, understanding its intricacies empowers both healthcare providers and patients to navigate the complexities of medical billing successfully. As technology continues to advance, the future holds promise for a more seamless and efficient medical billing experience for all stakeholders involved in the healthcare journey.

Epidemia di disinformazione in California Pt. 2
Nella prima parte di questa serie (che deve essere letta per comprendere appieno questa seconda parte) ho esaminato come chi detiene il potere cerchi sempre di censurare le informazioni a proprio vantaggio e come le grandi imprese cerchino sempre di compiere ogni passo necessario per monopolizzare i propri mercati.

pls create clingy tom fluffs
ᡣ𐭩 clingy tom while sick
it was two in the afternoon, you lay in bed. you put down your phone in hopes that the throbbing headache you’ve had since last night went away. you caught a cold most likely from staying out clubbing, maybe you shouldn’t have taken that stranger’s drink.
asswipe, you thought, who goes to the club sick?
“baby?? you awake? i’m back!” you hear a shout from afar with the noises of a door shutting and the rustling of plastic bags. with the shuffling of shoes assumingely being taken off, your boyfriend enters your bedroom of your parents house. they’re out on vacation and agreed to let tom stay in the meanwhile.
his face immediately drops when he sees you in your state. tissues everywhere, eye bags accompanied your face, your nose was suuuper red, which was really embarrassing but tom thought that was cute.
sweating, many blankets lay top of you as this was his way of making you feel better by letting you ‘sweat it out.’
“oh schatzi look at you, and you insisted we go out today!” he sets down the bags gently near the foot of your bed, sitting down on the mattress that dips with his weight, “tom! it’s okay! we can still go out just let me take a hot steaming shower and get ready quickly—i wanna go see that movie,” he shakes his head at you and pushes you back down to lie down as you attempt to get up.
he ruffles the head on top of your head, “as much as i love you and i wish we can go out, you’re in no state to..” he lays his head on your legs, the plush blanket cushioning him even further. “but tom—“ “no baby! i’m not letting you get up until you’re one hundred percent better, yeah?” he now grabs one of your hands to play with your fingers, admiring how they look.
you scoff, he’s being awfully stubborn for someone who can’t seem to not touch you.
“tom! get up please! i don’t want you getting sick,” “i’m not moving, your lap is comfortable.. i thought you weren’t even sick,” he snorts. rolling your eyes, you sniffle, feeling your nose becoming runny, you reach to grab a tissue to blow your nose.
“don’t get up. i’ll do it,” he gets up as fast as his body lets him and grabs a tissue from the box on your bedside table. holding the tissue up to your nose, you blow, he pinches the tissue to catch all that came out. “better?” he asks, you nod obligingly.
that was pretty nasty but oh well whatever floats his boat i guess.
he then bends down to grab something from the bag, opening the lid, he shakes a pill into his hand. “take this, i know you don’t like these but i at least got the strawberry flavour you liked,” you pouted, staring at him.
ingesting the pill, he quickly holds the glass of water to your mouth to drink it. knowing that pills are particularly hard for you to take, he knows that by drinking water after conditions your body to take it in easier.
the pill was sweet, yet the flavour that lingered on your tongue was only for a second being washed by the water.
he kisses the side of your cheek, “good job pretty,” tom began taking of his sweater and swiftly entered the bed to cuddle beside you. “um hello? do you not remember what current state i’m in?” moving your head a bit, his arm snakes under the side of your neck to hold you closer to him, “relax i’m not going to get sick, you baby, just let me hold you.”
“wow cannot get enough of me huh, after the way you were dancing with me last night?” “you were super hot that night couldn’t help my self, plus, i’m only doing this because you’re weak and cute,” you scoff, is he serious? “yeah right.”
he laughs at you and just kisses your forehead, you then peak down to look at the many things he bought from his little trip. they were all your favourite snacks. medicines, tea bags, oh, and more medicine.
on a side note, being the twin who was basically immune and had to always take care of fragile bill, he has a known habit to panic and instead of asking for help, his stubborn ass buys everything in the store, gambling on which medicine to take and hoping for the best.
luckily for you, he had bill to teach him properly which ones to buy, but habits never die do they?
now you weren’t hungry or feeling snackish, so you just lay with tom, nuzzling your head into his chest. he’s warm, warm and comfortable, and you’re so grateful to have someone like him.
kissing the top of your forehead, he switches on your TV to put on a show the two of you both like. “i’m feeling better already,” “i’m glad baby, you’ll be back to shape in no time, well, because of me of course!”
that whole day, tom would not leave your side. even when you had to go to the bathroom. he’d sit inside the room until you finished and would wash your hands for you.
he says that the joint effort of doing it with you gets rid of the germs better.
this was just his excuse to keep touching you in some sort of way.
you enter the room with a bucket of cold water and a towel. setting it down, you soak the towel into the basin and ring out any excess. folding the towel to fit, you place the now cold compress onto tom’s forehead who’s laying in your bed.
“i told you, silly, that you’d get sick.” you shake your head in disapproval to see tom frown. he looks up at you even though it’s hard for him to keep his eyes open. now we did say tom barely ever gets sick, but once in a blue moon when he does, hits him HARD.
“what can i say? i can never get enough of you, need to be with you all the time,” “you’re corny,” “and you love it.”

The Michigan Medicis of Donald Trump’s America
Left, clockwise from top left Blackwater founder Erik Prince; U.S. Sec of Education Betsy DeVos (Prince); philanthropist Elsa and Prince Corporation founder Edgar Prince. Right, philanthropist Hellen and Amway co-founder Richard DeVos; standing, businessman Dick DeVos.
If you ever wondered where the weird Republican ideas came from or how did we get here, well, here's a piece of the puzzle. Buckle up, it's a long read. Link to full article above. I pulled out quotes on topics below.
"In the solar system of elite Republican contributors, Richard DeVos Sr., who died Thursday at age 92—one of the two founders of Amway, the direct-sale colossus—occupied an exalted place, and his offspring did too. Since the 1970s, members of the DeVos family had given as much as $200 million to the G.O.P. and been tireless promoters of the modern conservative movement—its ideas, its policies, and its crusades combining free-market economics, a push for privatization of many government functions, and Christian social values. While other far-right mega-donors may have become better known over the years (the Coorses and the Kochs, Sheldon Adelson and the Mercers), Michigan’s DeVos dynasty stands apart—for the duration, range, and depth of its influence."
Conservative think tanks, advocacy organizations, and colleges
Grand Valley State University; Calvin College, attended by several generations of DeVoses, including Rich’s daughter-in-law Betsy DeVos, Northwood University, her husband Dick’s alma mater. Hillsdale, the libertarian-plus-Christian liberal-arts college in southern Michigan.
Other recipients of DeVos largesse: the Heritage Foundation, the Institute for Justice, and the American Enterprise Institute
"The DeVoses’ preference for “values-oriented” candidates reflect the teachings of the Christian Reformed Church. A small breakaway denomination of its Dutch forerunner, it has some 300,000 adherents in North America, many living in the same western-Michigan towns where their immigrant ancestors settled in the 1840s to pursue a faith.."
SCHOOL REFORM: Who can forget Betsy DeVos’s campaign to undo the state’s public-education system and replace it with for-profit and charter schools that, as she had put it two decades earlier, shared her mission of “defending the Judeo-Christian values"?
“[Among] her big ‘accomplishments,’” says Diane Ravitch, the N.Y.U. professor and respected education historian, “have been reversing civil-rights enforcement for kids with disabilities, putting administrators from for-profit colleges in charge of monitoring for-profit colleges . . . stabbing in the back young people with heavy debt for their college education, and being a constant critic of public schools.” One saving grace, Ravitch contends, is that DeVos has gotten very few of her budget proposals through Congress.
LABOR UNIONS: Another target was labor unions. Amway and the Prince Corporation had no use for them. Now the family waged a public fight. After Dick DeVos was routed when he ran for governor of Michigan in 2006, he blamed his defeat, in part, on Michigan’s unions and began to push for a right-to-work law (weakening the unions’ economic power and political clout, a pillar of the state’s Democratic Party). In 2012, the bill got through, and Michigan—headquarters to the United Automobile Workers, no less—became yet another of the country’s right-to-work states.
FAMILY: "Betsy and Erik’s father, Edgar Prince, was a Chrysler-Plymouth salesman and then machine engineer who started a die-cast business and also had a tinkerer’s gift for inventions. One, the lighted vanity mirror on the flip-up sun visor (introduced in 1972), helped Prince become one of the wealthiest men in Michigan." (wow) "As he got richer, the elder Prince rewarded his hometown handsomely; Prince money has done much to preserve downtown Holland, which remains a 1950s time capsule of Candy Land façades."
The C.R.C.’s greatest figure, Abraham Kuyper, a Dutch theologian and prime minister who died almost a century ago, had declared, in words the faithful know by heart: “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!”
The Princes and DeVoses—with neighboring homes in Holland—had effected a merger thanks to the 1979 marriage of their firstborn, Betsy Prince and Dick DeVos, then in their 20s. “Bible-reading jet-setter” was the description in a Detroit Free Press profile of Betsy.
Betsy and Dick own a 22,000-square-foot mansion on Lake Macatawa.
ERIK PRINCE was devoted to his father, who doted on him. He played four sports at Holland Christian and was the proudly straitlaced kid who, without being asked, put away the soccer balls after practice. Prince enrolled in the U.S. Naval Academy in 1987 but was shocked by the frat-house atmosphere—too much for a junior culture warrior who’d been an intern at the Family Research Council. After three semesters, he transferred to Michigan’s Hillsdale College.
Today Hillsdale, under its president, Larry P. Arnn (former head of the Claremont Institute, a citadel of far-right ideology), is known as a feeder school for the Trump administration, including Betsy DeVos’s chief of staff, Josh Venable. In May, the week Vice President Pence gave the commencement address there, Politico called it “the college that wants to take over Washington”—citing many alums who are now D.C. power players.
In 1989, Erik had been invited to a “youth” inaugural ball for Bush—and there had met Joan Keating, the woman who would become his first wife. Prince even worked as a Bush White House intern. “I saw a lot of things I didn’t agree with,” he later said. “Homosexual groups being invited in, the budget agreement, the Clean Air Act, those kind of bills. I think the administration has been indifferent to a lot of conservative concerns.” He left that job for another, in the office of California congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who has often been called Vladimir Putin’s top Capitol Hill asset, so valued, the Times has reported, that he was given a Kremlin code name.
Prince spent four years with the SEALs in the early 90s but moved on after his wife was diagnosed with cancer and his father, aged 63, died of a heart attack. The elder Prince left behind a business with 4,500 employees. The family sold it for $1.3 billion, and Erik, at 25, now had a sizable inheritance.
One of Prince’s instructors in the SEALs, Al Clark, was also looking to set up a security-and-defense training company. Prince had money to invest. Out of this came Blackwater, which began as an instruction facility for law enforcement, the military, and special-ops squads in Moyock, North Carolina.
The article goes into detail about Blackwater and it is mind-blowing. Their involvement post 9/11, Russian arms dealings, US government contracts,
"The source says he resigned after he discovered that Prince had approved plans to illegally weaponize aircraft and “actively train former Chinese Red Army personnel that are now being deployed into Pakistan, Thailand, Myanmar, and the Uighur region in China”—actions he perceived as supporting foreign interests above America’s. (Other Prince associates reportedly resigned for similar reasons.) Prince firmly denied the allegations."

So my buddy @timeandspacenovelist created a little au that I decided to build off of and it kinda turned into a sorta spaghetti western breaking bad with osgate and thasmin lol
This is a classic spaghetti western setting, late 1890s in small town USA
Yaz is the sheriff and 13 is her deputy
Graham runs a local saloon that basically acts as the town square
Ryan is one of Grahams bartenders
Dan runs a local barber shop
Three of the masters are the main bad guys in town; dhawan, missy and simm
They run 3 of the biggest criminal organizations in the whole eastern USA
Missy runs a massive illegal drug manufacturing operation, Simms group acts as the distributor for said drugs
Dhawan runs a hitman group and also just acts as the military for the other two groups
All three of them work as a triple alliance
12 is the undertaker and the main medical doctor in town
Clara, amy, and bill all work with 13 and yaz to help fight crime and solve cases
Osgood is the local gunsmith/weaponsmith and shes renowned across the country as one of the best in her field
One thing about osgood though is that very little is actually known about her...
Kate is a seasoned military veteran who's known as one of the best sharpshooters/snipers of the century
She settled down in this town for retirement (and also to be with osgood) but she occasionally helps yaz and 13 with cases
9 is the town mayor (since he seemed the most competent out of 10 and 11)
Clara acts as a negotiator and the detective that does most of the interrogations and interviews
Amy and bill act as sorta spies or investigators
Bill also looks for, stores, and bookkeeps evidence for cases
River runs a brothel and gives yaz and 13 tips on any criminals that come thru there. She may also do a bit of vigilante work on the side 😏
Remember how I said theres very little known about osgood? Well, theres a reason for that...
You see, osgood has a bit of a naughty streak to her.
She works with every major criminal organization on the eastern US. She acts as a bank for them to store and hide their assets and money
She also manages shipments of any supplies the groups might need, mainly weapons or drugs
She organized a certain level of mutual cooperation amoung all the criminal groups and sometimes helps negotiate any major disagreements between them (but only if they threaten to cause harm to the system she built)
Kate knows about this and often helps serve as her bodyguard
Osgood obviously wanted to conceal her identity so she uses the code name "Medici" as a reference to the de Medici family of italy, known as one of the richest and most powerful families to ever exist (they were so powerful cus they formed the first bank which made them reeeeeally influential as you can imagine)
I'm gonna add to this soon but I just wanted to jot down the main points of this au first

“Una notte di molti, molti anni fa, ero di guardia notturna nel mio ospedale. Mi avvisarono alle 22 dell’arrivo di un traumatizzato stradale: condizioni disperate, dissero, stai pronto. Io sono nato pronto, risposi con la mia deprecabile grinta giovanile.
Partii dall’ecografia nella sala trauma. Poi lo portarono in Tac. C’erano tutti: anestesisti, ortopedici, chirurghi generali, chirurghi vascolari, otorini. L’uomo era sfasciato dappertutto, ma proprio dappertutto. Mentre sul monitor scorrevano le immagini della TC stavano tutti dietro di me, zitti, ad ascoltare la litania di accidenti che poi, di lì a poco, avrei trascritto nel mio referto. Ma a quel punto il referto sarebbe stato inutile: avevamo già fatto il punto della situazione, ci eravamo parlati. Ognuno di noi adesso sapeva cosa fare. Eravamo una squadra, un gruppo di persone che si fidavano gli uni degli altri, ciecamente. Quell’uomo era nelle migliori mani possibili, ve lo giuro su quello che ho di più caro al mondo.
Il Paziente andò in sala. Gli passarono sopra tutti, a turno: chirurghi, ortopedici, otorini. Gli anestesisti in seconda fila, a tenerlo vivo. Intorno alle cinque della mattina il lavoro grosso era stato fatto. Mi chiamarono per dare un’ultima occhiata in ecografia: in sala operatoria c’era sangue ovunque, sembrava ci fosse appena transitata Beatrix Kiddo di Kill Bill. L’uomo, l’omone anzi, perché era grosso come un armadio a tre ante, era disteso ancora sul letto operatorio. Sembrava che dormisse.
La mattina, alle otto, il momento dello smonto, telefonai in terapia intensiva. Mi rispose la collega della notte, con la voce stravolta dalla stanchezza. Disse: È vivo, è stabile, abbiamo fatto un buon lavoro. Tornai a casa carico di adrenalina: i bambini erano all’asilo, mia moglie al lavoro, avevo tutta la mattina per me. Non riuscii a prendere sonno: tutta quell’adrenalina accumulata mi girava ancora in corpo, vorticosamente. Quell’uomo era vivo grazie all’equipe di medici che avevano passato la notte in bianco per lui. È poco, dite? Può essere. Ma se quell’uomo fosse stato vostro marito, vostro figlio, vostro padre, allora sì che avrebbe fatto la differenza. Tutta la differenza di questo mondo.
Da quella notte sono passati vent’anni ed è cambiato quasi tutto nel modo di intendere la vita ospedaliera. I medici sono diventati carne da macello. La sanità si è trasformata in un’azienda che deve fabbricare utili, dividendi e consenso elettorale. Però, siccome costa troppo, deve anche tramutarsi in qualche altra cosa, lasciare spazi, cedere terreno. Mutare natura. Ma in silenzio, senza fare troppo rumore.
E di quel gruppo di medici cosa è rimasto? Qualcuno è andato in pensione, qualcun altro è rimasto dov’era, a svolgere il suo ottimo lavoro, qualcun altro ancora ha avuto il privilegio di trovarsi a dirigere un reparto tutto suo nella pia illusione di costruire qualcosa di buono. Nel mentre, dicevo, è cambiato quasi tutto. La politica ha preso il sopravvento e tirato i cordoni della borsa. Ai nuovi medici, giunti via via a sostituire i vecchi, non piace passare le notti in bianco nel pronto soccorso o nelle sale operatorie. Meglio un lavoro impiegatizio. Meglio un lavoro da casa, se possibile. Meno responsabilità, meno rotture di scatole, più soldi in tasca. Chi è rimasto delega: meglio una Tac in più, anche se non necessaria, che una in meno. Pazienza se tra vent’anni quella Tac causerà un tumore da qualche parte. La medicina ha smesso di essere un’arte, insomma, e le manca ancora troppo per diventare una scienza esatta. Meglio non rischiare. Meglio farsi i fatti propri.
Così, adesso io mi ritrovo in piena notte con un’urgenza addominale, e spesso sono da solo. Io, il tecnico e la Tac, nel silenzio più attonito che si possa immaginare. E non dovrei nemmeno essere lì, in quel momento, perché non è più il mio ruolo, quello. Così, mentre attendo le immagini sul monitor, mi domando perché quasi tutto è cambiato, perché certa politica ha fatto fuggire i medici dagli ospedali, cosa ha fatto perdere loro la passione, l’entusiasmo divorante, il ricordo dei validi motivi per cui, molti anni prima, hanno scelto quella professione e non un’altra. Cosa li spinge a essere indifferenti verso i Pazienti, verso colleghi che in loro assenza dovranno svolgere il lavoro che per qualche futile motivo non hanno voluto portare a termine. Cosa spinga loro, ma alla fine spinga tutti, in senso generale, senza distinzione di sesso, età, censo, lavoro, a credere di essere in perenne credito col mondo. Di essere dalla parte della ragione, sempre e comunque.
Ve lo dico subito: non trovo la risposta, e a questo punto credo che non la troverò mai. La risposta forse verrà fuori quando vi recherete in ospedale e troverete solo medici pagati a cottimo, gente che quella notte è lì e la prossima chissà dove, a quante centinaia di chilometri di distanza. Quando non esisterà più un gruppo, un’equipe affiatata pronta a passare la notte in bianco per salvare una vita, una sola: quella di vostro marito, vostro padre, o vostro figlio. Oppure la risposta andrete a chiederla a certa politica: la quale risponderà che non è sua responsabilità, e che gli errori di programmazione, il numero chiuso a medicina, l’imbuto di ingresso nelle specialità, sono colpa di quelli di prima. Di quelli che hanno governato, male, prima.
Ma quelli di prima eravamo anche noi: il radiologo, l’anestesista, il chirurgo, l’ortopedico, il maxillo-facciale. Quella fantastica squadra di bravi medici, ognuno dei quali si fidava ciecamente dell’altro. Ci rimpiangerete, certo. Come ci rimpiangiamo già noi stessi, ogni giorno, ogni santo giorno di lavoro, finché durerà ancora.”
(Da un post del Dott. Giancarlo Addonisio)

Meglio non rischiare. Meglio farsi i fatti propri.
Così, adesso io mi ritrovo in piena notte con un’urgenza addominale, e spesso sono da solo. Io, il tecnico e la Tac, nel silenzio più attonito che si possa immaginare. E non dovrei nemmeno essere lì, in quel momento, perché non è più il mio ruolo, quello. Così, mentre attendo le immagini sul monitor, mi domando perché quasi tutto è cambiato, perché certa politica ha fatto fuggire i medici dagli ospedali, cosa ha fatto perdere loro la passione, l’entusiasmo divorante, il ricordo dei validi motivi per cui, molti anni prima, hanno scelto quella professione e non un’altra. Cosa li spinge a essere indifferenti verso i Pazienti, verso colleghi che in loro assenza dovranno svolgere il lavoro che per qualche futile motivo non hanno voluto portare a termine. Cosa spinga loro, ma alla fine spinga tutti, in senso generale, senza distinzione di sesso, età, censo, lavoro, a credere di essere in perenne credito col mondo. Di essere dalla parte della ragione, sempre e comunque.
Ve lo dico subito: non trovo la risposta, e a questo punto credo che non la troverò mai. La risposta forse verrà fuori quando vi recherete in ospedale e troverete solo medici pagati a cottimo, gente che quella notte è lì e la prossima chissà dove, a quante centinaia di chilometri di distanza. Quando non esisterà più un gruppo, un’equipe affiatata pronta a passare la notte in bianco per salvare una vita, una sola: quella di vostro marito, vostro padre, o vostro figlio. Oppure la risposta andrete a chiederla a certa politica: la quale risponderà che non è sua responsabilità, e che gli errori di programmazione, il numero chiuso a medicina, l’imbuto di ingresso nelle specialità, sono colpa di quelli di prima. Di quelli che hanno governato, male, prima.
Ma quelli di prima eravamo anche noi: il radiologo, l’anestesista, il chirurgo, l’ortopedico, il maxillo-facciale. Quella fantastica squadra di bravi medici, ognuno dei quali si fidava ciecamente dell’altro. Ci rimpiangerete, certo. Come ci rimpiangiamo già noi stessi, ogni giorno, ogni santo giorno di lavoro, finché durerà ancora.”
(Da un post del Dott. Giancarlo Addonisio)

hello if anyone out there has access to any charity sites like gofundme, please consider creating one for my family. i am unable to create one due to it not being available in my country along with any other donation site, but my family is on the verge of going homeless and my mother is really sick and i have no money for medicine or taking her to the hospital.. it would mean the world to me if anyone could make a gofundme for us and than transfer that money to my bank account since we also dont have many cash apps that work here beside local ones if you want a more explained post on my situation, please read the pinned post

Beyond guiding the musical brain trust of FDD, Bill is immersed in the physics and electronics of psycho acoustics. Published in over 800 journals, his theories on sub-atomic particle/wave arrays in DNA are accepted by the global science community as the bridge between the material world and consciousness itself. Bill is also the head of ESA Productions, creating documentaries and films for educational television. Musically he has worked Hugh Masakela, Les McCann, Metallica, Judy Mowatt, The Persuasions, Third World, Pamela Z, and various classical/world music ensembles. As for Funk Dub Division, they’re not just music—they’re a state of mind involving funk, dub, soul, experimental, and electronic moshing featuring some of world music's tightest players and vocalists blend in a digital, psychedelic amalgamation. On a cosmic turntable they play next to Black Uhuru, Miles Davis, Martin Denny, Thelonious Monk, Rufus, Ravi Shankar, and William Burroughs. Have some fun in 2024 with FDD’s music—and HB BS!
