One of the many problems with medicine is all the freaking, unnecessary tests.
I was a patient recently of some, "Big Named hospital" and I recently received an itemized bill for all the test performed, like the pregnancy test, that I insisted I did NOT need. Why, you ask?
First with the last pregnancy not only did I have a completed previa, it turned out my placenta loved all of my previous c-section scars, especially since I had already had 3 c-sections- therefore I had an accreata, which I was monitored very closely with during the ENTIRE pregnancy, only to find out after my delivery a few days later, it was a percerta(worse case scenario), noted I said a few days after I delivered I was told this, because that's how long it took them to finally decide to wean my from the vent, replace more blood and bring my back from the otherside in the ICU etc.......
I had a great Oncologist, who helped with the c-section(better at identifying large and small vessels), anyway they removed my uterus, tubes and cervix no less, and it was preformed at the same f-ing hospital were I was sick, they have EPIC(medical/online medical records) and I told them this and said really you have EPIC access, yes, then look it up?.....seriously now they are charging my insurance for some stupid test that couldn't even be true, and trust me I'M NOT THE VIRGIN MARY!

When to call 911

A man came home to find out he was being burglarized, he was given a Colombian necktie.....he managed to get out of his home while the robbers were upstairs stealing his personal belongings....he managed to drive himself to the hospital....3 miles away, park his car, ride the elevator down and walk to the back of the hospital where the ER is located....once he was walked into the Er, he was immediately taken to the trauma were he was trying to hand his ticket to the nurses to have the ticket validated...he is 86 years old.... God Bless!!!!!
Much unlike the 25 year old male who has vomited one time in the past two days, and decides to call 911 for the free ride to the ER while he has two cars parked in the driveway!! Good Grief!!
