Why I am stupid

Recommended Posts

Most hospitals have a payment plan in place now.

 

My ex-wife cut herself pretty bad while using a knife, two weeks before I got insurance and the hospital allowed us to pay it off in installments. It was only 350 to stitch her back up so we went for the no-interest option, but the interest was only like 5% if you wanted to pay it off in a year. Maybe 6 months.

 

You need to get the hand checked on.

....pay...for...broken...hand...fixing...? I'm confused. Right right, you don't live in Canada.

 

I'm with Leena, be a man and work through it. You'll earn the respect of your new workplace AND have a great story to tell people in 10,20,30 years when they ask "hey why does old man Ripper only have one hand?"

If i broke my neck playing highschool football and didn't find out for a year and a half, I am quite sure my hand can make it a few days.

I know you can, Ripper.

 

That's what I'm trying to tell these kids.

No doubt, the only time I've been to the hospital for an injury was when I had the main artery in my left arm completly severed, had a seizure, bleed to death in the process, was revived and woke up in the ER.

 

Good times, good times.

Haha, that's great.

 

I've actually had a girl tell me she didn't have any STDs once and would show me the papers to prove it (there were rumors about that she did, in fact have an STD)...I didn't hit it and I didn't look at the papers to see.

There's papers you get that says "DOES NOT HAVE CHLAMYDIA!"?

sorta...when I've gotten myself tested, it's almost like a check sheet that lists all the diseases and a box to mark YES or NO. It also has some other random info. This girl, in particular had received a false positive for Herpes, went and got retested and it showed she was clean (or so she says).

Understandable.

 

Anyway, back on topic.

 

How big is your hand now, Rip?

X-rays alone cost you about 1000 a pop and they would have to get multiple shots. They they would probably check to make sure there is no nerve damange which would cost another couple of grand. I was being nice with the 3500.

 

And the swelling is pretty much gone down except in the two spots where you can tell its broken. 6 days till insurance.

What are you talking about. I hurt my hand next Monday building a concrete BBQ pit for Memorial day.

I'm sure that the X-Rays won't show that your hand had been broken beforehand.
