For some of them, I was able to sign them up for Medicaid, so their stay could be covered. Lots of people set up payment plans. For the people who didn’t/couldn’t pay, we would send them to collections. My hospital very, very rarely wrote anyone off. IIRC the cost for one night without insurance was around $4k.

Doctor doesn’t tell people what they owe, it’s usually the billing department or their office manager who does (at least in the US)

Source: This was my job after college. I worked for a mental hospital, and it was my job to tell people how much their hospital stay was going to cost. A lot of the time, these patients were hospitalized because they’ve tried to commit suicide. So glad I don’t work there anymore.

Theme to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean. Makes sense, I tend to want to punch my alarm first thing in the morning.

A spicy chipotle chicken burrito, chips & guac, and an horchata at El Pollo Loco. Hits the spot every time

Give me the heat over cold any day! I don’t have to shovel my car out of snow in the desert!

I am disgusted, but part of me wants to crochet one because I can.
