Random Fail: First World Problems

[Aksannyi]

Kinda seems like you should publish it less often for starters, and also try to get the kids on board with editing it and prepping it for publishing. Like it's great that they're writing the articles but why not have them work on the whole shebang?

First world problems, i've been in my house for almost a year now and I still have no furniture.

1500$ for an ambulance ride?!? What the fuck?

Oh, Murica


When my ex twisted her ankle at a slipknot/trivium concert back in montreal, the ambulance ride was 100$.

It's typically more than just a ride, and it deters people from using it as a taxi which they do anyway.

[Aksannyi]

Must be a Canadian thing to put the dollar symbol after the amount, as well. Like, I know that we say it "1500 dollars," but the correct annotation is $1500.

So in other words, it doesn't deter people from using it as a taxi.

My ambulance rides run me a fat $0 dollars as of now.

I'm sure it does, I can't imagine what it would be like if it cost less.

I am trying to have them upload, but the program is so bad, they often can't seem to get their articles in.

Can't reduce, they'll sit around doing nothing. Only takes them like two days to write the article.

[Aksannyi]

Oh, okay. That puts things into context then.

In Canada the symbol goes after.


[edit] I should clarify and say French Canadians.

Thanks
Does that come with a write-up to see the grammar principal?

I got severe food poisoning in Florida in April the day after my dad died. I was so bad I had no way to walk from the hotel room to the car to get to the ER. Ambulance bill was insane but thankfully my double medical coverage covered everything but still fighting about a $50 copay my insurance said they are covering yet the hospital in Florida hasn't resolved yet.

Airenn. This time last year I was suffering from what I thought was horrible vertigo. I would be fine, then i'd feel my body heat up but no fever, i'd go into such a cold sweat, especially in my legs that it would go through my pants and the whole world would spin if i moved like i was on a teacup ride. Accidentally stumbled into the solution when on a whim my ear doctor gave me a prescription that would lower the sodium in my body. A month of taking a half pill every day, the tinnitus in my left ear got significantly better and it's been about a year now since I've had an attack knock on wood. Maybe something to look into as a possible cause.

I'm having trouble conveying what I'm trying to say for some reason. Basically, if the transport is $1000 then in most cases if they treat (administer a line, fluids, any meds) and you refuse to go you still get the same bill.

For us basic treat/transport is $800, any ALS like an IV or meds is $1500, and any miles after 5 or is another 50-100 per mile. Can also charge for every little thing like O2, ice packs, splinting etc.

Reminds me of when I got hit by the bus. My shoulder had a scrape about the size of the palm of my hand and someone called the ambulance. When they showed up I was like "sorry, idk who called you, but they wasted your time. I asked that they call the cops, so that I could file a police report, not the ambulance"

They were like "do you at least want to clean that up before we leave" and I literally told them "not if it costs me anything" so the guy just gave me some water and paper towels for free and then they went on their way.

Got awoken this morning by a sheriff's deputy knocking on my door. After I get dressed in a panic, I open the door and he serves me an eviction notice. WTF! I paid my rent! Looked it over and he has the wrong address and name. Whew. I'm glad it was a mistake and I'm not getting evicted but damn son almost gave me a heart attack first thing in the morning.

Took me 3 hours to get into Midtown Manhattan this morning from the Bronx. 13.5 miles.

Yep. I walked. Subways were frozen in stations on the 6, nothing was stopping at 23rd on the West Side.

Fucking UN is gumming things up horribly too. I can see the FDR and east side on 42nd from my new office and it's literally empty because they closed it.

Good luck getting home.
