Funny Stuff

[JohnyMac]

Yesterday I needed some help pulling electrical wire in the cellar of the cabin so I asked MrsMac to help out.

She was happy to help and I set her up so there was NO WAY for her to fall off the ladder - which she didn't. When we were done she started up the cellar stairs and promptly lost her balance (Damn Crock Clogs) and fell down the three or four steps she had climbed and landed on her right side. She used her right arm to break the fall and you got it she broke it.

In denial she didn't want to go to the hospital but by this morning her wrist ached enough that she went willingly to the small...Very small local hospital.

Well with today being the first day of Obamacare the emergency room nurse & doctor kept complaining and then apologizing to us for O'Care. The paperwork was HUMONGOUS and their connection to where-ever kept crashing. 

Before MrsMac could even see a doctor a lady asked her a shit-ton of questions like:

> Do you have a fire extinguisher at home?
> Do you have guns at home? Are they kept locked? Is the ammunition separate and locked up?
> Do you wear a seat belt while traveling in the car?
> Do you have an active sex life (No kidding)? Then...With one partner or multiple partners? 

Most of MrsMac's answers were, "None of your business."

The list goes on and on.

Then the paperwork to release her from the hospital was even worst then being admitted.

Now get this, we were the only folks in the emergency room and we got there at 9:00AM. We walked out at 11:30AM. Honest ingin here...Actual hands on medical (xray, taking vitals, wrapping her arm, etc) took 30 minutes. The rest was filling out paperwork and waiting for responses to come back from what ever central computer system they were accessing.

Again the doctor and nurse were most apologetic and explained that it will only get worst as O'Care settles in.

Have fun girls and boys...

All the more reason to exercise, have a proper diet and live a healthy lifestyle in general so we can limit how much of this shit we'll have to deal with in the future.


. . . well until the economy crashes and we are bartering medical care in exchange for some ammo in some abandoned building.

Can't you just refuse to answer any survey question?  How about threaten to sue their ass for prolonged suffering the time delay caused, failure to provide care in a timely manner?

I would love to see that entire list to properly plan my responses 

> Do you have a fire extinguisher at home?
A  Of course! If those drums of shine ever caught on fire how else would I put it out.

> Do you have guns at home?
A  Sure, whacha need?

>Are they kept locked?
A  And loaded.

>Is the ammunition separate and locked up?
A   Every fifth one is a tracer so no, and they just push into the links they don't actually lock.

> Do you wear a seat belt while traveling in the car?
A  Only way to stay in the drivers seat if you have to ram some dickhead off the road dumbass.

> Do you have an active sex life?
A  I prefer to let her do the work.

> With one partner or multiple partners?
A  Your kinda cute, I'll ask if it's o.k.

Colombo - 

DVC - 80% of MrsMac's responses were "none of your business" or "none of Obama's business."  I can assure you the lady asking the questions was embarrassed and never actually completed the Obamacare question list.

Hey John, I'm really sorry for your wife breaking her arm just after the surgery and also because of how fucked up the US are nowadays...

I can't believe what they are asking you in those forms, we should get a picture or scan of those question forms and publish them everywhere so people really knows what's going on.

@Colombo, your answers are awesome, K+ for you.

Argentina has a government health plan for people who can't pay private clinics, they'll never ask you shit, just your name and DNI (kind of our social security number).
What Obamacare is doing is total violation of your privacy.

Thx APX, I will pass on your concerns to her. She broke the Radius bone in her right hand, just up from her wrist. She was pretty pissed off last night because the Dr. had a nurse cut a ring I gave for Christmas a few years back off of her finger. Her right elbow looks like she skinned it after falling off her bicycle and her shoulder hurts too.

I caught her pouring water in the toilet tank this morning (No running water in the cabin yet) to flush it.  I scolded her and she told be to do something to myself that is physically impossibility.  All in all she is a tough cookie.

Your suggestion on the Patient Questions is a great one! I went looking on the internet but could not find a complete list. I will continue to look. The next time I am at the Dr.'s I will try to get a complete list and post them.

You should try to get a picture, and we need to make that shit go viral!
