[HOLY S**T!] Got my bill from the E.R

[jreckoning]

Now you know why us dumb ass common joes get jobs with good health insurance.

Med bills will kill you and your credit, if your illness doesn't.

That's one of the only things good ABOUT sitting at a desk staring at screen all day.

When i was 13 i severely burned my hands up in the Catskill mountains. I was taken to a local tiny hospital and they didnt really have the means to deal with burns as bad as mine that they wanted to call a helicopter to take me to a hospital with a burn unit and told me it would cost me about $10,000.

Instead my dad came and drove me 4 hours to that hospital

Yea he drove 3 hours from the bronx, picked me up, drove me 4 hours to the hospital and then 4 hours back to the Catskills

He was so worried, mostly cuz i had no eyebrows and the front part of my hairline was also gone

Idk if you box but imagine you got hit with a nasty body shot, that initial pain is the worst and will subside after a few minutes. With a gallstone attack it feels like you just got hit with that body shot every single second, I'm surprised I didn't cry.


I got scared into going though, I've been able to toughen them out before, however my jaw locked for some reason this time. That scared me into going, I could barely open my jaw a few Cm. I didn't know if I was having a heart attack or what, it felt like I was dying.

Damn, yeah that sounds serious enough to go...

I feel ya with the pain being comparable to a body shot. I've sparred a lot, and been dropped for a good minute with a body shot. Horrible pain. . .

Your bill could be a lot worse. . . And I'm pretty sure as long as you apy something each month, your credit won't be effected. Lol, it will actually improve as long as you don't miss payments for 3 months.

My ex girlfriend's mom used to be real sick, and go to the hospital all the time (she had no insurance). And she just paid like 10 bucks a month, on over 100k worth of bills accumulated, and everything was cool.

I'm pretty healthy aside of the gallstones but unfortunately can't afford health insurance, my work doesn't offer it, and the shyt hit the fan at my house with my stepdad getting cancer, my mother also has MS so she an work sparingly, I've been helping them with bills. Guess I'm gonna have to start selling meth lol.


I haven't had health insurance since HS, I've actually avoided almost every single basketball game and football game I've been invited to play in just for fun because I'm scared of injury. My main fear is messing something up in my knee like my ACL.


Idk if you guys know this but if you were to tear your ACL and had no medical insurance it can cost from $20,000-$40,000! Even with insurance I've heard of people paying around $2000.

oh yeah, if they're going through creditors they can do it all. they're not like the IRS, but they garnish with the best of the rest of them.



i didn't tear anything, but i jacked my patellar tendon something awful and went through the rahab. no surgery, just PT and specialists. over the six mo to a year i racked up about $1000 in "supplemental deductibles" / copays.

i had insurance. i have no idea what the cost would have been if i were uninsured, but i'd guess it would be in the high thousands.


and for a quick
the easiest way to get money on the street is, and always will be, robbing small time drug dealers.

pm me for details

10 a mo literally won't put a dent in a bill like that, man.

120 a year?
