BCT, I hope you guys had a good 4th. I had a quiet one after a busy fucking week covering my supervisor's duties. I didn't realize how much shit he was doing until I had to it, lol
This Monday is trying because I'm dealing with medical bill fuckery and it's depressing. I have insurance and it's a cushion I'm thankful for, but the way they bill you is infuriating. I thought I had taken care of the costs the day I was in the ER, but no. In the words of the billing person I was talking to, "That was just a deposit". After that conversation I'm out another $200, but it doesn't end there. The doctor who saw me was out of network and they are trying to get me to pay full price. I think something got processed wrong because my insurance sent one amount and the doctor is saying another. I wanted to avoid going to the ER so much due to this kind of stuff, but at the time my tongue swelled up and I thought I was about to lose the ability to breathe.
To top it all off they didn't really do much of anything besides give me some pills. My primary physician told me what I had going on, but his solution was just a injection version of the pills, which did next to nothing. After suffering for a weekend I googled what I had and came across a home remedy that fixed me up in like 24 hours.

This Lil John song (glorified hook?) is my head now because I can't stop laughing at the video--
