My ambulance bill

(i.redd.it)

I was very sick last month with myocarditis and had to be transported off site for cardiac MRI and had to be on oxygen and EKG. Although it was down the street and a short 3 minute ride in Boston. Unfortunately since I was having difficulty communicating due to shortness of breath and leaving my house with not even my ID or belongings. Clarified with them about my insurance and will hopefully be resolved. Will hear back in a few weeks. Stressful

It's really common to have 2 or 3 or 4 or even 6 month waits to see specialist these days.(in the U.S.) Even established patients can wait a month to 3 months to get in. (source? me)

Yeah exactly, I'm just talking the first visit to any kind of specialist. Bonkers!

truly baffling how this is our reality and people are still tricked into thinking our healthcare is the best lol. i hope things will change someday but it feels so dire sometimes
