In the last few days there was a patient who came into an Emergency Room that had removed their false fingernail. While doing so, it hurt. So they came into the emergency room.
There was nothing wrong with it. No pain upon walking in. This visit cost them nothing because we, that's right, you and I baby . . . we pay for this person to be an absolute idiot.
Who is worse? The idiots running the country who do not have National Health Insurance or fingernail people. Just once, I would like to screen people at the door based on the stupidity of their complaint.
The other day, in another Emergency room a mother brought in her child with the barest visible bruise on her nose. Someone threw a CD and it hit her nose. No crying, no blood, nothing at all. So there is another Thousand dollars or so that this family does not even think of because they DO NOT HAVE TO PAY. So they come in and laugh, play, misbehave to the point where we have to say something.
Welcome to American Medicine.
