My daughter is in surgery right now
« on: June 20, 2011, 02:12:38 PM »
My little girl is having her appendix removed as we speak.

This is the big kick in the b#@ls I didn't need right now. What else can go wrong?  Oh, that's right; no job and no insurance.

People will say this is a perfect example of why we need socialized medicine, but I say I would rather spend my last dime to make sure she gets the best care.  I don't want to shell out more in taxes to make sure everyone gets shitty care.

That appendix is a sneaky sumbitch. Mine blew up on me within 24 hours of starting to feel bad.  We're praying for her...it's usually an uncomplicated surgery. TALK to all of the doctors and the hospital involved. Lots of times they can make some concessions for the uninsured.

You're in our thoughts BAC....hang in there and work with the Hospital.  They've always worked with me over the years.

God Bless your little girl...

Done!

Take care of her first, and then like others have said - Tell them your situation and that you are willing to pay what you can.  You'll be surprised the pricing and terms you will get!

If we all kept your attitude healthcare would be personal and affordable.

Done, BAC

Hang in there.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
