MEN!! IF YOU ARE SQUICKED BY STUFF ABOUT CHICK BODY FUNCTIONS!! DO NOT READ THIS!!! I hate that I spent 4.5 hrs at the ER today. After 3.5 months without a period, suddenly I started again. 3 weeks ago. HEAVY. I'm talking tampon AND pads. After doing some research, I found that that kinda thing can be an indication of fibroids, and other surgically treated stuff. Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled (and ok, I was quite a bit concerned). (the good news is that it seems it's just me starting menopause....) Had a FABULOUS Dr. and nurse... very friendly, and sufficiently clinical at the same time.. just what I needed at the moment. However, as I was leaving, I got called over to the financial desk. Ok, I *told* them I dont have insurance when I checked in. I understand they wanna know about financial stuff. I sit down, the lady tells me "we need a $200.00 downpayment on your treatment today" :: thud :: "Um, I don't HAVE $200.00" "How much DO you have?" "MAYBE $17.00, in my account" so she ran a $17.00 charge. Thank god, I actually had 21.00... at least I dont have to pay an overdraft fee. But seriously.. TWO HUNDRED DOLLAR DOWNPAYMENT??? ok, yeah, there was labwork (cultures and blood)., but HELL!! I *still* havent seen what the total bill is supposed to be. I VOTE FOR NATIONAL HEALTH CARE!!! ETA: (maybe this should be in the I hate it thread... but TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS AS A DOWNPAYMENT???)
