My medical experiences in my entire adult life have been "we don't really know what's wrong with you. Here's antibiotics and an ultrasound and some blood work. Oh, we still don't know what's wrong, but now you owe us money"

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

Weka posted: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 Bring some hundos and bribe the doc for an upgrade

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

Smythe posted:despite being American my entire life I have always and continue to be repulsed at the vulgarity when the doctors office starts quoting me prices. really bizarre stuff I'm in a 'rural' area with famously lovely healthcare and so far I've dodged all bigger hospital bills, which is my intention with this one. 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
