What an idiot

Don't let this discourage you from seeking help. Money isn't anything, and this is definitely not the way these things always resolve themselves.

That's way too much, but they called for immediate, emergency service, with many many professionals involved. Essentially rush, expedited service.

Then, by evidence of not needing to stay the night, they didn't use that service.

They effectively booked a first class ticket on the next flight out of town, then didn't go to the airport.

This is not a defense of the American healthcare system, it sucks. But they used the system that's there, and shouldn't be surprised. They are certainly right to be upset.

Edit I know folks don't like this, but nothing I've said is incorrect. I also made clear I don't support the current system.

Why is Lemmy so bad at acknowledging reality? Are the downvotes making you feel better?

Two ways of looking at this. Either you are smart, and you saved your own life for just $2000.

Or, you’re an idiot for not calling one the free helplines to see if they could chill you out first.

Either way, I would have retained my dignity, and not posted it on social media just to bash the health system. That’s actually fucked up.
