Title: medical bills
Post by: applesauce on November 07, 2011, 10:31:01 PM
Are really, really expensive. When I broke my rib I went to the hospital for like 5 hours and last week I got this bill:

RADIOLOGY: $1,097.00
EMERGENCY ROOM: $525.00


Billed Charges: $1,622.00
AETNA STUDENT HEALTH: 1,622.00
Amount Due from Patient: $0.00

I am so fucking glad I have health insurance now. This is the first medical bill I have ever received and holy shitfuck. Has anyone else ever gotten such a ridiculous bill for something?

I have it sitting next to me.  In its seal envelope.  I'm too afraid to open it.

Oh god me too but I have yet to find a place in Chinatown that is acceptable to go to alone. You know how there are just some places you can go to alone and others you just can't be there Aline because it is too weird? I need a woman.
