Broke my arm - convince me hospitall

[guest]

Eventually. Yes.

No you don't. Trust me on that one. They will send it to a collections agency who will send you a letter about once every 3 months for the first 2 years and then it will be on your credit for five more years and then it just goes away.

I had like 50,000 in ER debt in 2006. By 2015 it was just gone. And all I did was ignore it.

So maybe eventually the collective "you" had to pay for it and that's why hospital visits are so expensive.

Nigga what ambulance are you taking that cost $40? I live in Iowa and for some reason they give me statements of what my insurance paid for and the ambulance ride just to the hospital (mind you I call my friends or family to get a ride back) is over $600

Obviously people talking different countries (I mean parts of Milwaukee), ambulances are free here & occasionally people who live near hospitals get arrested for using them as taxis, real cunt move - my buddy nearly died waiting for an ambulance (rural area) 'cus some asshole was being put on a spinal board after pretending to be hit by a car.

I've heard in US an ambulance will rock you $2k? is that true?

Update: oh shit, it might not even be the full seven!

It's 7 years MAXIMUM!

Depending on length of trip and whether or not they had to work on you in the ambulance? It can even be more than that bro. I got charged over $600 for a 3 mile ride to the ER with a broken nose. All they did was take my blood pressure.

I'm too old to have to rebuild my credit. I already did the, "he fuck it- what's 7 years?"

Yeah but I mean I'm just saying you don't have to pay it back.

What happened to the bicycle?

Not telling us about the bicycle was a cop out.

Toss, did you ever think about not getting so fucked up you break your bones?

bike was surprisingly fine! I haven't checked the wheel allignment properly yet (hit a branch on ground), wheel still spins ok so noting major but I'm sure it'll need some spoke-spannering

I was literally thinking exactly that. My fucked-upness used to ensure I had a good bounce, but I seem less rubberised & more snappable as I get older

Do you think you have the clout to go to management and say "I want the bike back"?

I broke my hand years ago and never got it looked at. It healed wrong and the knuckle is all fucked up and I sometimes feel a dull pain lingering in my hand. I will definitely get arthritis. Just go to the hospital.
