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.
It's great! Story is A+ and the men are cute. Win/win!
Finally finishing up Code:Realize! I also bought Collar x Malice and am excited to start that .
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.
Theme to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean. Makes sense, I tend to want to punch my alarm first thing in the morning.
A spicy chipotle chicken burrito, chips & guac, and an horchata at El Pollo Loco. Hits the spot every time
Give me the heat over cold any day! I don't have to shovel my car out of snow in the desert!
Just switched my RIF app to Jerboa and put it where my RIF app used to be.
It's difficult searching for things in the internet for opinions without putting 'reddit' at the end of it though!
New to Lemmy and wanted to help make it more active. Here's a photo I took at the beautiful arboretum in Superior!
If anyone can find a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure sublemmy that would be great! Don't have the time to moderate otherwise I'd start one myself.
Blue pill. I never want to relive my childhood trauma again ๐ค
