i just think american politicians should be shot one by one until healthcare is solved, actually
#vent#surgeons office just called and said in order to have my gallbladder removed i have to pay $1785 up front. who the fuck has that#just LYING AROUND to fucking pay. on top of that i have to deal with whatever the CT scan i had of my spleen shows bc it’s enlarged and the#gastro doctor said he was trying to rule out cancer which has been eating at me bc it’s like. the one thing i’ve spent my entire life afraid#of bc every single person in my family pretty much who has died was bc some type of cancer#and now i can’t even get rid of the one problem that has been diagnosed and could be fixed because i haven’t met a fucking#$2500 deductible bc my insurance through work sucks ASS. and the lady was like i’m sorry there isn’t anything more we can do to help#also the consultation only lasts 30 days so i have 30 days to schedule or i have to go back and spend $60 on ANOTHER doctors visit#bc that’s how much my ‘specialty’ doctors visits costs just for them to give me the same fucking estimate#ASSUMING i even make it that long bc the nausea and the pain in my side is so bad my grandmother thinks it might be infected like hers was#and i’m like. this close to just ending it. this shits miserable like it’s MISERABLE i’m so tired rn

Quick update since I don’t want to include it in my next post
I didn’t end up getting scheduled to see Dr.K, the gastro/surgeon I saw in November, which kind of sucks as he was a really chill guy who seemed to actually listen to what I was telling him.
Instead, they scheduled me in with Dr.B - who works with the same group, same hospitals, etc. Fun fact: He’s actually the surgeon who removed my Mom’s gallbladder 20-ish years ago at a different hospital. She tells me that I’ll love this guy, that he’s just a character........but she said the same thing about the ENT who essentially called me a drug seeker and/or abuser for going off of my acid reflux meds (even though it was at the advice of another doctor so they could get accurate results with the Bravo monitor) and then threw a little fit about me seeking a second opinion, saying that I made things super complicated, that it was hard to have more than one doctor on a case, etc.
I don’t even know where to begin with Dr. B. My game plan for the initial appointment tomorrow is to walk in, sit in the office and when he asks what’s wrong, to literally shrug and say “I’m falling apart. Can you just go ahead and order a replacement body for me?”
