Some anti-inflammatory medication, a diagnosis of "nothing serious," and a handful of vicodin. The pain lasted for another three or four days. It was especially bad after eating. Eventually, though, it just went away. It has since been replaced by a couple of other puzzling conditions, one of which I alluded above. I can't tell if I'm developing some sort psychosomatic hypochondria or if I'm actually suffering from something serious. I'd love to know, but I'm totally broke, so I can't afford another hospital co-pay.
On the upside, though, it's given me considerable impetus to blow up at idiot right-wingers left and right about health care reform. Fucking idiots.
I'm sorry you're going through that. You don't have health insurance?
I'm in the same boat on the heath care reform... I mean... I'm still not covered on birth control but yet, I know my premium is paying for erectile dysfunction medication, prostate exams and some fertility treatments. yeah I love these horrible standards. How can something like this, that shouldn't require any brains to figure out, become such a hot button? I can't believe that this day in age, the citizens (a valuable resource to any country) of our country are so expendable that we don't deserve something as basic health care. F- on that. Fuck insurance companies.
Here's the fucked-up thing -- I actually have health insurance. It's completely worthless, though. My premiums have gone from nothing (company paid) to $110/month, but my coverage has actually gotten worse. My ER co-pay is up to $200, which is absolutely ridiculous. I find it hard to believe people in this country are paying as much as we do for insurance only to pay that much more to see a doctor in a time of need. And I haven't received a bill yet, but I'm sure I'll want to fucking break something when I see how much I'll owe for blood tests, x-rays, and a CT scan.
It's a fucking joke that some people actually think our current healthcare system works. And it's a huge fucking crack-up that we try to pride ourselves on being one of the greatest countries in the world but can't provide healthcare for an absurdly high percentage of the population. Healthcare in America is for the rich, and even though we have the means to provide everyone with adequate coverage, we don't. It's fucking pathetic.
