  • I recently went in because I had a thunderclap headache, thought it was about to die from a brain aneurysm. No insurance. They did 1 CT scan and billed me for a Head CT, Neck CT and a Cervical Spine CT, each costing over $3K. After months of calling their billing department I ended up having to setup a payment plan before they sent it to collections. Not a single person in the billing department, up to and including the head of billing, could tell me the difference between a neck CT and a cervical spine CT. Still on the hook for over $11K. Probably going to have to file for bankruptcy soon. My life is effectively over.















  • I was in Army basic training during the last government shutdown. What that meant for us was no busses to take us to ranges for training. No hot meals in the defac (cafeteria). Extremely limited ammunition for training. So we matched miles upon miles all over the base to get where we needed to go, pretended we had the ammo for the exercise and then we would march home and eat an MRE (meal ready to eat). 2 or 3 MREs a day for about 2 weeks straight. Shit sucked.
