I don't understand what's got you rowled up, Shemp. I think you've got me wrong somehow here.
There was no emergency regarding my case today. There was 2 days before, and I'm glad to have gotten prompt and complete medical attention. I appreciate it, I really do.
While I was in the ER, I saw nurses doing house work chores, cleaning beds, because they needed to free up beds so fast they couldn't wait for somebody to come clean them. Doctors were clearly very, very busy.
When you send a patient to the ER to get standard test results, somebody somewhere is billing for that. Excuse me if I don't want it done in my name. The cost of admiting me back to Emergency, filling out all new paperwork and me sitting in a bed has got to be a lot more than me visiting my family doctor.
