Bills, Bills, Bills

Let me ask you readers, in your opinion what is the best part of having medical procedures?

Could it be the time off from work. Sure. But just like most things, it's only fun in moderation.

What about the pills? Surely a bonus, but the best? I think not.

Attractive nurses/doctors/lab techs? Eh. It's really a fleeting opportunity. Hardly worth mentioning.

Nah. It's the bills. The mountains and mountains of bills you receive post-operatus (operation).

Actually, I know I shouldn't bitch. At least I have my health. And you can't put a price on that.

Unfortunately, doctors, hospitals, treatment centers, and health insurance companies seemed to have forgotten that cliche. Oh well.

Oh man, you just reminded me of the most expensive box of sandpaper, er Kleenex I ever bought. $10. And I think I used one. And left it at the hospital. Every time I buy a box of Puffs (preferred brand) I shudder.

You feeling better / okay now?

Oh for me, it was knowing that for every person who breathed on me with their stale coffee breath I woudl see at least four pieces of paper. Because they send a bill to my insurance company and to me and then the insurance co sends me a statement of what they'll pay, and then the medical billing office sends me a revised bill, which I pay, but then by that time it's the following month, and so a bill for the next month is printed & sent to me. Rinse, repeat.
