THE REALITY OF LIVING OFF GRID

[GotSmart]

The pain has reached a point where my brain won’t let me do much without supervision. Next Friday I will have my nerves in my back burned. My anger at insurance companies is to the point where I am not able to talk to the pencil pushing asshats that denied my surgery last month. The system requires that the surgeon poke the nerves with a needle two separate times and report at least an 80% reduction in pain FOR TWO HOURS   Before allowing the real thing. The cost is the same every time. One procedure is about $6,000 and I have to wait another month or more before the next one.  Final cost will be more than $20,000.

At least the local hospital is top quality. One procedure every half hour.

I soooo hate chronic pain. I'm fortunate that my blown out knee is finally almost healed. I mowed the yard today. Best of luck getting yours under control. Hope to see ya cut a rug at a shindig one of these days.

Sorry, man, pain sucks. Hang in there.

See you guys in a couple of weeks...I sure hope the pain is under better control.

I might suggest a couple of things to try, but I will wait to do it in person.

Stay cool.

GotSmart, I've spent 18 years listening to my sister's daily nightmare reports of her job working for a large West Coast hospital chain.

I was taken in there myself at 5 p.m. while hemorrhaging, and wasn't seen by the doctor until 11 p.m. The NURSE got so furious at the ER doctor that she called my OB/GYN at home, and then SHE called the ER doctor and told him to get his ass moving in my direction, to put me on IV fluids and start a transfusion. He was more than a little pissed.

I've taken people there, and had them ignore a woman in pain for six hours.

They left one of my office coworkers lying in the ER for twelve hours until her appendix ruptured.

Want more details on the 80-year-old man that the male nurse dragged down a hallway by his feet?

Now... what are YOU going on about???

Debbie Downer? YOU. BET. YOUR. A$$.

I AM TRULY SORRY YOU ARE IN SO MUCH PAIN.

I SURE HOPE THE TREATMENTS WORK FOR YOU.

Trainchaser, I don’t need your crap. 

Save your nightmares for someone who wants to hear them. I call BULLSHIT. Just shut the hell up.
