Last night i went to the Emergency Room because i was having some pretty bad chest pains. (Mind you, i had heart surgery when i was 15.) I was turned away because i don't have any health insurance. The doctor told me to ignore the problems i was having, and then proceeded to make fun of the situation i was in, right to my face.

I, of course filed a complaint and cried my eyes out to a charge nurse that was actually trying to help me. Seriously, i don't think i have ever been so disrespected in my entire life.

  1. WHAT?! I didn't even think they were allowed to do that. You should've punched that doctor square in his mouth for making fun of you.

    On a good note, I love Toothpaste For Dinner. And Married to the Sea, and Natalie Dee, and pretty much anything that couple ever does.

  2. Aw I really didn't think you could get turned away, I thought they just charged you more for it. But I'm sorry :( I hope your feeling at least a bit better by now.

  4. Tarah & Raeann- I did want to punch him square in the face! Probably more so than ever. I didn't think i could get turned away either. but after waiting for 3 hours, he told me to ignore what problems i've having and to live long and prosper. WHAT THE FUCK!?@!?2!?

    Kaelah- I contacted the board immediately. Right now i'm in the works on filing a case with against him. i am feeling a little better now though.

    thanks for the kind words, ladies!

  5. I am so sorry. I also agree with heytarah, that doctor deserved to be punched. I'm glad you filed a complaint, hello Hippocratic oath?
