    ...wow that is pretty scary.  They were going to keep me there one more night but the tests and evaluations determined it was OK for me to be released yesterday evening.  I feel much better being at home. 

    Glad you're back home!

    ...yeah feels good sleeping in my own bed, making my own food, not being woken up every couple hours, and not having to ring the nurse when I needed to use the dunny (as they had to disconnect a couple hookups each time).  Though I sort of miss this neat device they had to stimulate circulation while I was laying down which was kind of like a pneumatic leg massage that had these soft leggings which would inflate every so often to prevent blood pooling, kind of like what the lower part of a fighter pilot's G-suit does. 

    Going to the hospital is always a risk.  Their job is to find something wrong.  I was in the hospital for a couple days a few years ago.  I'd gone to the emergency room because of an abdominal pain for which they probed me with all sorts of sticks, stones, and invisible rays and could find nothing wrong with my gastro system.  But needing to justify their time looked elsewhere in me and in the process discovered my heart going wonky.  Which was not unexpected to me, because I've lived with Atrial Fibrillation (Afib) for years.  But they seemed to think it was worth studying and they brought in crowds of not-yet-doctors to watch my heart rhythms and who pointed out things apparently interesting to them.  Saying things like "Oh, look he has no 'P' wave".  And since I was such an interesting object they "invited" me to stay with them for a couple of days to "watch" me.  Which turned out to mean they wired me up to a wireless transmitter sending my vital statistics to a machine in the central nurses corral.  I could hear the symphony of noises coming from the corral while lying in my bed and if I moved, my heart rhythms changed and their machine that goes "ping" would start going "ping" and a nurse's head would shortly poke in the door of my room to see if I was still alive enough to be charged bed rent. indecision I was.  

    And, of course, I was also connected to tubes and bags of fluid hanging on a wheeled coat rack.  So, later in the day when nature called, and being an independent sort of person and not feeling at all ill anymore (my stomach pain had disappeared already) I hopped out of bed, and being an educated man and understanding the nature of gravity, topology and long tubes dangling from coat racks, I dragged my coat rack with me to the bathroom and proceeded to do my business.  About mid-extrusion my bathroom door pops open and the nurse came in, I'm sure expecting to see a gasping 230 pound pile of writhing flesh on the floor.  But, 'twasn't to be, and I told her I was fine and ordered her to "Close the f'n door!"  Apparently I am not a patient patient.  She waited outside the bathroom and escorted me back to my bed when I emerged, admonishing me for not calling for help pooping.  What was she going to do?   Carry me to the throne and squeeze me in the right places? frown

    But they were concerned enough that they called my regular cardiologist and "invited" me to stay in the hospital until he arrived and examined me.  Many hours later but right after I had figured out how to use my credit card to pay for a minimum of 3 days of ridiculously expensive TV Cable service to my television, my cardiologist arrived and decided he wanted to try an experiment and give me another heart rhythm controlling drug.  OK, so they hook me up to another bag of some liquid but 30 minutes later I'm enjoyably hallucinating and am pass-out woozy and the machine that goes "ping" was playing a jazz tune and my room fills up with nurses and doctors.  And my cardiologist (who was thankfully still in the hospital) rushes back to me and says something like "well, I guess that didn't work" and disconnects me from the joy juice and put me back on my regular medications but with a slight modification of dosage.  That seemed to do the trick and  I think I finally got out of the hospital 18 hours later leaving behind all that pre-paid TV cable service. angry

    ...things seem to have changed with time.  My IVs were small tubes of concentrated meds rather than being tethered to a coatrack of bottles or pouches.  I did have a thimble attachment on a finger that relayed a signal to a unit in the room (that only went "ping" when it was removed) which sent data to their central monitor.  They took a couple blood sugar tests, a concussion test (which I passed) and a memory test, then gave me some insulin (as Metformin has a reaction with one of the meds they put me on). They used a small epi-pen like device for administering insulin instead of a syringe, which could be injected in the arm instead of midsection, didn't feel a thing (wonder what those cost if I ever need to shift to insulin). 

    Overall the staff who attended to me was very accommodating and personable which made the situation better.

    Yeah there was a big flatscreen in the room, never thought to turn it on even to watch the Green Bay game as I was too sleepy.  Not having a television for something like 16 years, don't really miss it.

    holy moley, my hospital bill for my involuntary stay is:  

    Financial Summary

     
     
    Status Paid
    Amount charged $25,003.30
    Amount paid by plan $8,627.90
    Network savings $16,375.40
    Other insurance $0.00

    ...ouch.  The amount charged is more than I earned in a year at my old job.  So has that 16,375$ also been paid?

    i received a separate 1,300 'hospitalists' bill.
    i called the hospital for an itemized bill, they had no record of the bill.
    called my ins, they said i coukd aappeal the bill via thrir webiste, the 'hospitalists' bill wasnt under the pending claims.
    a friend toldme the doctors always bill separately?? doesnt make sense, why not send it to insurance.  they think i have 1300 bucks in my back pocket?

    the dates on the bill are days i was a prisoner in mental hygiene, i distinctly remember no doctors seeing me. in fact the medical condition i complained about was totally and completely ignored.

    Bangers and mash is not cockney rhyming slang.  It's a typical british name for sausages and mashed potatoes. http://resourcefulcook.com/recipes/view/tqdb5-bangers-mash

    I read once that during the war, sausages in England were made with more water and other fillers which made them pop and sputter in the frying pan- thus "bangers". The name stuck.

    At least the huge part of it was covered. As to the 1300.00, I woul definitely inform the insurance company that no doctors services were rendered to you and  appeal that. If no doctor ever saw you, it could very well be that you were just “added to the roster of patients “ so to speak.  Insurance fraud is rampant and much of it is perpetrated by doctors and hospitals.  Your insurance company should be very interested in assisting you with this because it impacts them on a daily basis.

    I was in a car accident years ago and the hospital tried charging the cost of 2 SURGICAL PACKS when all that was applied were some tape and 4x4 gauze pads.  Also I was billed for a physicians services from a plastic surgeon who never even physically laid eyes on me.  The ER attending (who was not even attached to the plastic surgeons office) was the one that sewed me up!  My insurance company had someone call me and take a recorded statement over the phone and within a week, my bill was revised to correctly show the actual services rendered.

    The Cassell Dictionary of Slang says banger dates from c. 1910 and was Australian in origin. But yes, because sausages can easily go bang when cooked if the skin is not pierced - that doesn't require extra water, or didn't until relatively recenty.

    i tried questioning the claims with my insurance, I asked them if they think my insurance was abused, and that i can't dispute the bills by myself, I would need their support.  So, will see how it works out.  It sickens me to pay for the days I was a prisoner in the hospital.  I'm looking at the room charges..  They transferred me to a room that didn't have the comfy articulating hospital bed.  It was a mat on a literal wooden box, there was no mechanism to sit up.  the room charges appear to be the same for the box bed.  It was significantly lower standard of care.  They don't give the same menu in ental hygiene ward.  I have a special dietary need, I have gastroparesis.  I had to order food from my memory of the full menu.  All of a sudden, I didn't need a nursse or aide to escort me to the toilet. They took the 'fall risk' warning wrist thing.  On the medical side I was told not to stamd i[ without am aide, why did that change ?  How to make people understand if they don't fight for their senior care now, they'll end up like the other patients begging to go home and no one is going to help.  They were voices in the night dark hospital halls that no one heeds.  Least of all family members.  one night my room mates family came to visit, I heard them ask her who her beneficiary is.  when you're stuck in hospital and rent isn't being paid, you can very well lose your home and be left with nowhere to go home to.  the voices are still very distinct in my memory.

    ...you should report those conditions to whatever county/state bureau regulates healthcare, and the Representatives/State Senators I listed earlier.  If you had a serious food allergy it could have been dangerous.  If they charged you for a full articulated hospital bed and appliances along with a physician's fee (since you never actually met one while there), that could constitute fraud.

    A number of years ago while riding my bike in the city (NYC) I was hit by a car... despite the fact that I partly went through the windshield, aside from glass in my shoulder and arm, I was okay.  The EMTs kinda insisted I go to the hospital because I might have had brain injuries or something (pfft... need a brain for, yeah?) anyway... they took me there and after three hours of waiting in the emergency room, the gave me a RAT Scan (waved a rat on a stick at me)... (okay, it was a CAT scan, sans felines)... apparently they weren’t alarmed at finding my head empty except for a dead sparrow and some old balled up newspapers, and said nothing appeared damaged... a physician’s assistant or nurse came along and picked about a dozen shards of glass out of my arm and shoulder and they said “see ya”... well only that last part took three hours more.

    A few weeks later I got copy of the bill that was sent to the motorist’s insurance... was something like $10,000... it included a huge list of services they never performed... xrays, stitches, fluids, shots, painkillers and more... basically all I did was talk to an ER doc for two minutes, got a basic CAT scan, some guy took a tweezer and pulled out some glass from my arm and I got a band-aid and a prescription for Tylenol that wasn’t even stronger than over the counter... well, and I waited forever.

    I was pretty pissed, and since I was in contact with insurance agent, I called and went over all the crap they made up on the bill... the agent thanked me, but said that is pretty common since they pad the bill expecting to negotiate a price.

    I had heard that before, but seeing it in practice was super annoying... it’s really unbelievable the nonsense that goes on, between the hospitals and the insurance companies, the patients are the ones that ultimately pay the greatest physical, mental and monetary cost in the end.

    Once again, sorry you are still being haunted by this.

    I tried to pull a tag (sticker) off a ferret once... that didn’t go so well... I don’t know if the same applies to unicorns, but weasel bites hurt.

    I had heard that before, but seeing it in practice was super annoying... it’s really unbelievable the nonsense that goes on, between the hospitals and the insurance companies, the patients are the ones that ultimately pay the greatest physical, mental and monetary cost in the end.

    Once again, sorry you are still being haunted by this.

     

    Health Crisis indeed, they make it extra difficult to be responsible for the truth in the insurance claims,.  ic has to be more than just the claimants making record profits, what's in it for the insurance companies, the abuse leads to .  maybe it has to something with mandating everyone has to pay insurance premiums, tax subsidized insurance, and other thoughts on it, just too painful to cogitate

    Complaint it is raining outside.  Non complaint I have a package on the front porch.  Complaint I have to go outside to get it and complaint; it is raining outside.

    It’s raining here too... no packages outside though... 

    Non-Complaint... if it was colder, this would have been around two feet of snow... so I don’t mind getting this wetness at all.

    PS... I see the package was you TV... good luck with it and enjoy!

    I normally don't mind the wetness instead of the snowess, as I live up a hill, so all the water just runs past us and ends up down the bottom of the hill.   Only just a wee while ago too much water ran down the hill and it couldn't cope and there was water running under the pavement  and part of the road washed down the side of the hill.  So we had a diversion to get in and out of the village while they mended the road.   It's only just been fixed,  and you can see when it happened  from this link

    For Xmas my wife got me a new iPad... apparently now all the iPads can use the Apple Pencil... so finally after all these years of only using an iPad to write with, now I can actually draw on it... 

    I finished setting it up this afternoon and downloaded Autodesk’s SketchBook... very cool... I know it’s just a stupid little cartoon drawing, but I’m still figuring out how to hold the pencil on a touchscreen... for me it feels way more intuitive than a drawing tablet... and no cable.

    I’m actually having fun with this...
