Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

Stupid. Stupid that my local ER who is in network could have a doc that is out of network. Stupid that I'm avoiding care to avoid costs. And stupid that capitalism brought us to this point. Medicare for all is not enough. Just healthcare as a right. 🤘 /End

Last time I had a similar injury, I went to the local ER and got 3 bills: one for my in patient hospital system, one for in patient labs, and one for OUT PATIENT MD/DO care. Total out of pocket was over $1k for the third. /2

I hate the US medical system. I'm a DVM and had a mild to moderate injury this evening. If someone else called me, my advice would be to go to urgent care or the ER/D. Instead, facing layoffs and some financial uncertainty, I'll try to get into my PCP tomorrow. /1

Just a dude and his crossbeak chicken who is ready for a bath.

Don't think I've been in the good place since I left Oregon! 😅 Hope life has been treating you well, Tassia!

Weird to abandon Meta after literally 20(+?) years of interaction. Won't lie, I'm pretty sure > 50% of the folks I follow and/or am friends with over there I won't miss. (No offense intended and if you're here, I probably want to reconnect!)

At least the last one is probably easy.
