“hey dude, how’s it going?”
yeah pretty good, i’ve started to get this kind of gnawing dread every time i throw a little piece of plastic in the bin and i vividly visualise billions of people doing the exact same thing for decades but other than that pretty good, how about you?
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Clippers are trading James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Darius Garland and a second-round pick, sources tell ESPN. Prolific swap of the star point guards.
@DHJHAGG Pels couldn’t buy a bucket and squandered too many fast breaks with numbers, but overall played well I think. Too many ridiculous calls in OKC’s favor as usual
You say all this but then the second we suggest universal health care as the most sensible solution you ppl start foaming at the mouth and cry “cOmMuNism”
Mother left with a ~$70,000 bill for a 15-minute trip to the emergency room for her 6-month-old son.
Absolutely insane.
CA woman Jessica Farwell says she was forced by doctors to put her son in a helicopter, which ended up costing $90,000.
The insanity doesn't end there.
After the 15-minute helicopter ride, which was deemed necessary by the doctors because the hospital Farwell went to didn't have a burn unit, she was forced to put her son in an ambulance to get him from the helipad to the hospital.
This was a 0.3-mile ride that they charged $10,200 for.
The son, Brody, was treated with second-degree burns and was discharged the next day.
The entire ordeal came to over $100,000.
"You look at the bills, and it's absolutely enraging. We got hit for a $600 waiting fee... there's a fee for it being a nighttime service... there's just every single fee you can think of!" the mother said to ABC 7.
Farwell said she was promised by doctors that her insurance would cover the costs. They didn't initially.
At first, her insurance wouldn't even cover half of the bill, meaning she would owe nearly $70,000.
"I've called the hospital, ambulance company, my insurance numerous times. It's been three years and then they wouldn't listen to me or talk to me. They just kept giving me the runaround..." she said.
It wasn't until Farwell went public with ABC 7 that the insurance company finally gave in and waived the fees.
