Now I'm really pissed off
Words can't begin to describe how angry I am right now.
My dad called that girl's dad earlier this evening and asked why he suddenly wanted our insurance information. The guy beat around the bush for a little while until he finally came out and said that the two passengers, not his daughter mind you, had both gotten CT (aka CAT)scans while they were at the hospital.
I mean honestly, you were bumped. Why the hell do they need to get a CT scan? I don't know whether this was the girls trying to take me to the cleaners, the coach being an overprotective asshole, or Ball Hospital (they're notorious for calling in every specialist in the hospital for a stubbed toe) trying to get as much out of the situation as possible, but either way a CT scan is above and beyond what the situation called for. A quick exam from a doctor or paramedic? Sure. An X-ray if they had persistent pain? Maybe. A CT scan? Come on. Talk about using a sledgehammer to kill a fly.
At this point I can only sit back and hope the insurance company cries foul. They might decide it's not worth it to pursue in court, but I for one would like to see them eat the $5000 bill.
