For sure! It was definitely soul crushing, watching what very little hope people had being quashed by the ridiculousness that is US healthcare system. There were many times where we’d call to collect from patients and we’d speak with loved ones who told us that the patient ended up killing themselves shortly after discharge.
What’s even more infuriating is that my coworkers and I made about $16/hr while our CEO raked in $150k+ a year.

I can’t unsee Jonathan Van Ness
For some of them, I was able to sign them up for Medicaid, so their stay could be covered. Lots of people set up payment plans. For the people who didn’t/couldn’t pay, we would send them to collections. My hospital very, very rarely wrote anyone off. IIRC the cost for one night without insurance was around $4k.
Doctor doesn’t tell people what they owe, it’s usually the billing department or their office manager who does (at least in the US)
Source: This was my job after college. I worked for a mental hospital, and it was my job to tell people how much their hospital stay was going to cost. A lot of the time, these patients were hospitalized because they’ve tried to commit suicide. So glad I don’t work there anymore.

I will typically order medium rare but if my husband or a restaurant I know/enjoy is making it, then I eat rare.

It’s difficult searching for things in the internet for opinions without putting ‘reddit’ at the end of it though!

4·3 years agoI am disgusted, but part of me wants to crochet one because I can.
I’ve played every Pokemon game since the original Red, and it’s definitely getting staler. I enjoyed Sun/Moon a lot but I can’t recommend Sword/Shield or Scarlet/Violet at all. Hope that ToTK scratches that open world itch that I have from games like Skyrim, BoTW and Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West.
Just finished BOTW this weekend and taking a break from Zelda. Picked up Pokemon Violet again but got distracted. Does Pokemon Violet get more engaging? I’m on the 3rd gym and I feel like they’re still holding my hand.






I was raised as a strict Catholic, then stopped believing once I went to college and met people who challenged my worldview. Now I am agnostic. Not sure I want to call myself a definitive atheist, as I believe there COULD be something out there. However, if there is something out there, I don’t think it cares enough about this tiny blue dot in the entire universe.
