That will be 9,999 dollars please." on the one hand, working in a socialized system means I don't get $9,999 for gatekeeping people's drugs (the lovely ones, not the fun ones). on the other hand, I get to be on the death panel

Oh, we still don't know what's wrong, but now you owe us money" Yeah, years ago when I complained of frequent diarrhea the doctor was just like "some people have bad tummies". It's gotten worse and I'm pretty sure regularly cramping so bad you vomit and poo poo at the same time isn't normal. Might finally get an endoscopy after doing a bunch of tests that came back normal.

at the clinic for more loving imaging. They say they thought they cancelled my appt, then made some calls and decided they could take me today, and they said it'll be $500, $450 if I pay upfront (10% off!)

some old gently caress in a walker came in and let out a huge nasty sound fart (maybe a shart?) and then everyone else who's walked in has had to cross his cloud

off to hospital for a sigmoidoscopy tomorrow, which is apparently a shallow colonoscopy. idk why they won't just check the whole thing, another lovely public health system. seems like it's not much harder, just jam the camera up further

I had one of those. I think the difference is that they have to knock you out for the full Monty and that makes it more difficult and expensive. Also the bowel prep is so much worse edit: good luck though goon-I hope you get some answers

you have to drink gallons of disgusting medical slurry for a full colon scope. count yourself lucky

The prep thing with the drinks is just bs. The dr could run a pipe cleaner or an irrigation line up first to clean you out but they're too loving lazy and entitled

i had continual trapped gas pain, bloating and stomach pain for like a year that'd ebb and flow. Went to the doctor after it came back and wouldn't go away and they said to reduce my stress (lol) and work on my anxiety (lmao). So I writhed about in pain for a couple more months, losing hours of sleep a night. Then I read about FODMAPs and the FODMAP diet. I cut out all of the gas causing carbs and after a few days, pain free. No 2am pain that wakes me up for an hour or two. I've been on it for a few months, reintroducing things slowly and seeing what I can tolerate. My digestive system feels like I'm a healthy 18 year old again, completely pain free, bloating gone, except for when I have intentionally tested foods like garlic and onions (both want me dead and bloated). No thanks to the lovely american healthcare system. biceps crimes has issued a correction as of 16:19 on Dec 14, 2023 |

Last time I had imaging they hit me with a similar sized bill and I called and asked about a low income assistance program and they gave me an application and told me not to pay until they get back to me and then never got back to me another time I had to pay like a normal appt fee and their online payment portal wouldn't take any of my cards (a variety of credit cards and my debit) and I got someone to help me over the phone and it didn't work for them either and then they quit sending me bill reminders

Pretty sure the doc at my initial checkup where he felt around in there was quite nonplussed at how quickly I dropped trou and bent over. Like he was expecting to have to talk me through it as a way to talk himself into it. Anyway I'm off in an hour but I was wondering, what level of manscaping is appropriate?

The good thing about this restrictive diet is that my protein is still high and I'm leaner than ever and my lifts have gotten stronger despite losing 20lbs. Downside is far less cake and pie and cookies and junk food and spicy food

The good thing about getting a prostate exam is I will never be too embarrassed to tell my doctor anything ever again.
