It's official, P and her DH have a brand-new daughter. She's not named yet and P is already sleep deprived. So pretty much standard for new parents.
BABY!
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
they said they won't treat her any more without insurance
The hell? Is that even legal?
I have jury duty at the end of the month. I have already deferred it once.
My lawyer friends tell me that July and August are the best months for jury duty -- there are so many lawyers and judges on vacation then that there are many fewer cases to put potential jurors on.

Actually, yes. Which makes me so furious.
Sean and S, hugs and thoughts and vibes and all that.
Suzi, I hope your mom finishes these yicky tests soon and can get the transplant. What a mess.

I guess if we take her to the ER, they have to treat her, or at least give her emergent care. I think her GI doc (who is a genuinely nice and caring man, with excellent bedside manner, and good at what he does) was just trying to head the issue off at the pass.
The hospital he recommended is a county hospital, and they definitely have to provide care. He was recommending that one because they have good GI docs, and because it's not the downtown LA county hospital which, while closer, has an ER which is constantly overloaded with the gunshots, stabbings and ODs typical of all big-city core county hospitals.

Oh, I guess that makes sense. Still, it's not like you weren't going to pay for the care at the other place!
Here's hoping that's information you'll never need.

{{{Beverly and Family}}} I am so very sorry such a terrible thing had to happen to you of all people. I wish I knew something I could do that would bring you comfort.
Next time I see anybody I love, that person is going to get a great big hug.
