Comments & Feedback
Just stopping in to tell you that I love your articles and resources.
Thanks for the great information.
Your articles are amazing, the only truly genuinely sensitive and aware posts I have seen. The Santa hat fits the heart in your columns.
I don't think you should pay the bill!! I went to a Hospital in Tennessee they put me in a room and forgot I was even there. I did not pay that bill. I think doctors are over paid and undereducated.
As to the woman waiting 19 hours in the ER seems like a funny way to get more funding for the hospital. If it were me I would certainly write the head of the hospital and bill he/she for my time as well. Since when is their time worth more than the people coming to the ER?? Without them they wouldn't need the ER to begin with.
