Coffee anyone ?

Thanks.

BTW, I probably reacted more strongly because of my current history with them. About 4 months after Ron died in the hospital I called "billing", and told them that all the little bills I was receiving had no details. I requested a final ITEMIZED bill for all his visits. They sent one. I paid it. And they keep sending more, additional charges, like $58 for a pill.

On his last visit he was supposed to just get comfort care. The ER doc said he was going to send him for an x-ray and I exploded NO! He was dying, the hospice said he didn't need treatment or diagnosis, just meds to calm him.

I got the bill. They took an x-ray.


I'm not paying one more penny.

WOW! I'm with you. It's like WTH?!?! Just out to soak $$ out of everyone they can.

BEES !!!!
OMG - there are a gazillion bees all over the front and sides of the house and half a bazillion in the back. Good news all outside. Bad news - I have to get to the barn to put the sheep away. There are so many I can hear them bzzzzz-ing and I'm in the house all windows shut.

Can you put on a slicker?

They show up on their own. Sometimes they have a decent crop but mostly they become a trip hazard. Fairly nutritious for sheep and this place was covered up when we moved in.

I don't think we have them in Washington. We do have blackberries on the wet side...west side , I think they are probably just as nefarious...lol

My plumbing got roto rootered. He found 3 polyps, one less that three years ago. I'll know from a lab report in a couple of days whether they are bad polyps or not to be concerned ones.

Evidently I tried to sit up during the 20 min procedure and asked to see the monitor to see what was going on!!! The NP who was doing the anesthesia added a touch more to get me to stop trying to watch!! Dang it all...

I had no medicine. Just an OTC Magnesium Citrate on Sat nite, then the box of two jugs of liquid you drink at 6 p.m. and then again 4 hours before your procedure. Cleans you out quite rightly!!

Praying it's nothing to be concerned about.

Nobody plants dewberries, they just show up. Nature’s bounty!

Never heard of them before.

This reminds me of the days in Iraq, not as hot, but enough. Going so much you couldn’t keep up with water on hydration so we turned to IV’s of saline solution stick one in and kept fighting.

I had one. I couldn't finish the prep, I was so nauseated. I slept for the entire procedure.

That is definitely not fun. I have a condition that requires a 2 day prep, it's so miserable. We go into town and get a hotel room the day before the procedure. An hour long drive is to long to be away from the bathroom...lol

Sometimes I cannot adequately express my contempt for how people are treated. My hospital, my employer, used to be good. I would highly recommend them. They're nothing but a business, now, and a poorly run one.

I got a phone call with just the hospital name on it. I let it go to voicemail. VM said to call the "business office", which means they want more money for Ron's hospital stay NINE MONTHS AGO. So I called the number, was put on hold with music, no identification like "You've reached ###, your call is important..." So after about 30 seconds I hung up and tried again. Same result. In my opinion that's an example of rotten customer service. You can't at least identify your business, or pretend to care about the phone call?


Be honest, am I overracting?

Nope, not at all. Customer service is lacking just about everywhere now. Once in awhile we're pleasantly surprised.

I wish I was there to help you. Are they still on your house?
