That kid worried himself sick for months waiting to hear if it's healing right. It finally did....big sigh of relief....but it's so scary for the kids to hear the word "Surgery." I feel bad for her.<br><br>As far as health insurance....we were pondering the need for it the other day. We get a lot of illegals and minorities in our hospital. They don't have health coverage. Probably 60% of our patients don't. They STILL get treated, though. I thought the regulation was to stabilize them and send them to a county hospital. But, it isn't. They treat them! And eat the costs. They'll discharge them explaining which of the hospitals they have to go to next time.....and they show right back up at ours. Makes me wonder.<br><br>Middle aged...Hmmmmm....according to our paperwork at work, the middle adult is aged 46-64. After that it's older adult. I guess we're both middle aged, huh?<br><br>Hope you're having a good day.<br>PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536527735548627.post-60415484189680136122006-12-07T13:36:00.000-08:002006-12-07T13:36:00.000-08:00I know exactly what you mean. I just got through ...I know exactly what you mean. I just got through some female troubles recently and thought I was going to have to have a hysterectomy.....wanted one, doc said no. Fibroids and simple cysts. Monitor, monitor, monitor. Tests up the wazoo. Mucho dollars in medical bills. Still paying them. All deductibles and copays. Owe about $500. Too bad we can't be like Canada!!! Thanks for the advice....by the way. Already using them...have been since beginning of mess. YUCK!!!<br><br>I did the same thing to my daughter when she was two. She had broken her collarbone when I was at work and she was with my grandmother. She's a drama queen and didn't seem too bad so I waited to take her to the doctor. She was still complaining after 3 days so I finally took her in. Boy, did I feel like the worst mother ever!!! I cried, I felt so bad. The only time she would cry was when I was trying to dress or undress her and she had to put her arm over her head. I thought it was just bruised....BAD MOMMY!!!!<br><br>NikiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536527735548627.post-35017973990770196942006-12-07T17:52:00.000-08:002006-12-07T17:52:00.000-08:00First of all, I am not going to be "older age...First of all, I am not going to be "older age" until I am 90, ok???? (lol...yeah, right, I am feeling "older age" right now and I am 45!!!)<br><br>Health Insurance is a JOKE. We are not even getting the proper medical care anymore because everything is regulated by the insurance company. If the test isn't covered, the doctor doesn't order it! <br><br>You know, the things that go on in our world today...sometimes I just sit and shake my head in disbelief.<br><br>((hugs))<br>JeanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
