I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So apparently making a down payment before an operation is a thing some hospitals are doing now?

I fired my old GI because he was useless and the new one (understandably) wants to take a look at my innards and see what's going on rather than relying on Dr. Clueless' observations. I just got a call from the new hospital to get everything in order for the procedure and at the end of the call they informed me there would be a $150 fee upfront when I checked in tomorrow morning.

I was taken completely off-guard, but some Googling says that this is becoming a more common thing. You'd think they would have mentioned it when I originally scheduled the procedure two weeks ago.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, that is pretty fucked up.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I had to put down a $600 deposit before orthapedic surgery in 2014 :/ And of course only had, like, 200 and change left on my flex spending card and had to use 2 cards to pay it.

And separately, I hope the surgery is easy and recovery smooth and your new doc finds out some useful stuff that helps you out.

But that was through OHSU, Providence required no such down payment on abdominal surgery...but by then my out of pocket max was already hit so maybe they woulda wanted one also if I hadn't already been tapped out.

And if you can't come up with a way to pay, what, no hospital for you? That seems pretty damn wrong.

Help.

Ouch! We've still got room on our Flex card to cover it, but I'd never heard of anyone doing this before today. The lack of more than 18 hours notice was kind of off-putting as well.

And separately, I hope the surgery is easy and recovery smooth and your new doc finds out some useful stuff that helps you out.

Thank you. I'll definitely be happy if some answers come out of this.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Kalshane, good luck getting answers from the new doc and new procedure.
