I think the main point I,m trying to make is besides the obvious health reasons for seeing a doctor, you can actually save money as in my case I would saved some money rather than going to the ER(very costly). In fact I'm still pissed off about the cost. Here's how my ER visit is broke down in cost!
Wheelchair ride from front desk to ER room(20-25')= $200
Little gown they put on me (2-3hours of wearing it)= $200
Lay in the bed for 2-3 hours = $1400
Bloodwork = $178
Tech to look at bloodwork(10 min) = Surprise
electrode dyolysys = " "
Tech to look at dyolysys(5minutes) = " "
x ray = " "
Tech to look at xray(5 minutes) = " "
Nurse take temperature and put blanket on me = " "

Was the service good? It was excellent! Is worth what they're asking? About half would be fair.
Remember, the next day I called asked for a total bill, was told it would take a week to calculate and a week later I paid and now I,m getting more bill which are separate!
If I did that in my business, I would be called a scam artist. Its like I come to your house, fix your window, and give you a final bill and you pay. But a month later you get bills for the glass, the caulking, the guy who delivered the glass to my shop, ETC...
Yep I,m paying more attention to politics and healthcare becuz they need to straighten it out or this country will definetly be seeing another revolution! |
