but hospitals also charge normal people the same rate... which CAN be haggled... though its hard to

there are places that can help you do it. our healthcare isnt as expensive as it first seems

point is im 26 and i vist the hosbital 2-3 times a year for broken bones or ligiments

but yes, that would be expensive without insurance

I wouldn't say thats NORMAL, but it's not uncommon either

depending on state, insurance would be $250-500 a month

thats at a minium 60 xrays over that time

high, but not millions high

not to mention the weeks of in hosbital care

There's other solutions as well, like Mutuals, HSAs, preventative medicine programs, etc

oh and Lex... drink more milk

and the one time long distance resque that one here in Canada still cost me 5 grand

i live danerously saddly milk wont fix that XD

the fuck do you do?

helicopters are expensive to run apparently

Also, the fact that we in America have to pay for our healthcare directly, makes some of us less risky lol

^

... i understand. may you never run out of socialists

most of my injurys are from working in shity places, like the sides of cliffs, or in machine shops where safety is... on the list.

and maybe 5-6 of them are from power kites, shoulders and feet to be exact. going 35mph 6 inch's off the ground in a buggy not at the salt flats can lead to problems XD

trained to be an climbing arborist which is a guy who cuts trees down well in them. then realized my left hands not going to work in 5-10 years due an old injury i got when i was a kid. so i am working on getting my 3 welding tickets, for BC AB and ON and the fedral 3 as well

any way to prevent that?

to my knowledge no, maybe a hand specialists in the states could fix it.

look it up. our doctors are expensive. they're also the best

If we could legalize experimental medicine here, that could revitalize and boost industry

drank more malk

from what my doc told me the best bet is a wrist fusion which stops the problem but you lose about 30-40% of the flexiblity in your wrist

never broken a bone

despite being literally autistic >

already said that

I agree with your judgement then

milk wont stop the ground coming at you at 30mph XD

trees be dangerous yo.

always get a second opinion when dealing with doctors

cut down the trees

show those fuckers whos boss

eh the real pain is 10 years away ill wait and see the human body can sometime fix shit surgery will jsut make worse.

then asphyxiate when all of the oxygen in the world eventually fucks off

<:trumped:440551399772913674>

you're doctor is likely very good. they're also only human, and may not know ALL the answers. hence, look around for hand specialists

id still do research anyway, just in case
