Fuck you

[plutherus]

I'm in pain
I can hardly walk because I get too dizzy
This has been building for two weeks
I haven't gone to a doctor because I'm waiting for my medical insurance to kick in
I can't use it for another two weeks

Because they have to make sure I don't have any conditions that could cost them money
So I've put off going to the doctor for two weeks

And now i'm in too much pain to stand up
I can't go to the emergency room because I already owe them fifteen fucking hundred dollars for three stitches to my finger

And whatever the fuck this is going on in my sinus causing it to swell up like this and press on my teeth making it feel like several massive fucking toothaches going on at once is going to be a lot more complicated than three stitches

and it doesn't matter anyway because I can't stay upright for that long enough to drive myself all the way up to the hospital anyway

So fuck you if you think this is good
Fuck you if you've ever voted against universal health care
Fuck you for not letting me go to the doctor without going into debt for years to come

Fuck you if you think that Jesus was a robber baron
If you think Christianity means you have to support major corporations but not your fellow man
If you think "oh, well, this is a capitalist country, so people who can't afford to go to the doctor shouldn't"

I spent $40,000 in taxes last year but I can't go to the goddamn doctor because I didn't work directly for a major corporation

Fuck you if you think I deserve to spend this night in pain before I start calling around for doctors tomorrow
If I can even fucking FIND one that will see me that day wihtout an appointment three fucking weeks in advance

And if they'll see someone without insurance

Fuck you if you voted for this
You deserve to have your jaw broken
Your fingers smashed
Your eyes gouged out

You deserve it because you've voted that other people have to suffer so that you can feel all self-righteous "I've got mine, screw you" - I don't care if you're a libertarian or a republican or just someone too goddamn lazy to bother voting against this gang of criminals who've decree that I have to suffer so that THEY can make a couple billion more dollars

If you've every supported these people, if youve ever argued against health care in this country then FUCK YOU. This is your fault.

Man, I am so sorry, Bro. Are there any antihistamines you could take? You need to open up your sinuses to relieve the pressure you are feeling in your teeth. If you can, get some pseudo ephedrine and some saline nose drops.

Also, try laying down om your back while pressing your fingers on your sinuses to see if you can get it to drain.

Thanks, man.

Turned out not to be the sinuses, but thank you much for the thought.

I read. Are you feeling any better at all? The antibiotics tend to work really quick if the infection is in the mouth.

[plutherus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, much better.

The swelling's gone way down already, and I'm in almost no pain at all currently.

Still trying to find a dentist now, though. I've been going down the list, trying to find someone.

One of the dentists I called earlier called me back - got hit with a couple of other emergencies so can't see me today, but she took a few minutes to talk to me over the phone. She was skeptical about the emergency room doctor's diagnosis, but strongly agreed with his recommendation to get into a dentist as soon as possible.

But, damn, it's hard to find one I can make an appointment with today.

Try a college. They often have a dentistry department and have rates that are about 50% of what a regular dentists costs. You'll have students working on you, but it is under professional supervision. You can get in if it is an emergency right away.

Give it a try. You may save some money AND get seen right away.

I am sorry this is that bad. I'm with you with the fuck yous.

The health care system is FUBAR in a serious way. It affects too many of us.

I'm sending good healing thoughts your way, if it'll do any good.

[plutherus.livejournal.com]

Thank you much!
Yeah, it's a fucked system.

I haven't seen Michael Moore's Sicko yet, but I just sent him my story.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'm feeling much better now. Though I'm still pissed off that so many others aren't. That a bunch of self-important bastards keep people suffering so that they can tell their fearful ignorant constituents that they're not socialists.

I'm talking to you right now...GAH! I wish to FUCK I was there...that damn cop should have stopped you and driven you >:-(

While you're talking to the receptionist, I have to say this: DO NOT FEEL BAD YOU ARE SICK/HURT/ABOUT TO SQUIRT PUPPIES OUT YOUR NOSE/OTHER. UNTIL YOU HAVE INSURANCE OR UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE 'PAYMENTS' IS A GOOD WORD. Besides, what the fuck are you worried about? You're rich, remember ^_^
