Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Nope.
But that comes with a long explanation about the Israeli health system (very different from the American one - for starters, we have universal health care) and how they prefer to treat some things in hospitals and others via community doctors. In sum, hospitals take care of emergencies. If it's continuous thing, most of the procedure is done via the doctor in the community clinic, even if the treatment itself is in the hospital. And MRI wasn't part of the emergency treatment for SSHL.
It's a different model, which takes more effort from the patient, but less money. As in, I'm not even sure if my mom has to pay anything for her hospitalization. Most, if not all, should be covered.

I don't know about the "more effort" part. Here it can be a nasty and drawn out battle to get things paid for.
But what's really important is lots and lots of ~ma to your mother, Shir, and to your whole family.

Oh, and in other, other news?
My favorite band declared reunion. With two shows, abroad.
I bought a ticket to London (other show in NJ). I can cover the ticket, but I have no idea how I'll pay for the flights.
For 5 days, my mind was completely blown from the news, and my reaction to it. Living outside of my budget for a whim is really not like me. And just the news set me on an emotional roller-coaster (in addition to mom, etc.).

Oh, I meant the scheduling appointments and making sure things get done aspect - not the payment aspect. Again, very different model.

Thank you.
Now, shower, maybe a bit of TV, and back to my seminars. Been a long, stressful day.

Mr Peabody expressed his general dissatisfaction by his first shoe theft in months. I found a shoe that was in the bedroom out in the yard.

I'm kind of afraid of my living room--please tell me this won't last.
