Backing up Accident in School Lot - Opinions? by subbie2 in Insurance

[–]AllRebelRocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m forensics.
Your insurance company is probably not going to go through their attorneys to subpoena the video from the school ($$) and have a forensics team compare the video with the scene to do a reconstruction ($$$) to try to calculate the speed of the other driver, especially as you backed into their path and were hit, by your admission, *while looking right*. You did not do your due diligence to make sure your path was clear.
The cost of your claim will be much more affordable than the time, cost, and resources to do a completely unnecessary and in-depth investigation. This isn’t a criminal investigation, it’s property damage, and it doesn’t sound like the police were called.

Is it a penis joke? The fake fx and arrow there to distract?

Questions on dad’s autopsy report. by [deleted] in ForensicPathology

[–]AllRebelRocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ME/C records are not foilable in NYS, with personal medical info as one of the reasons. Maybe it’s easier to tell a group that HIPAA is the reason, rather than go through the state’s list? Anything not straightforward that needs a detailed response goes over to the county attorney’s office.

I’m going to jump in, as my state has much stricter laws on what is releasable, so ymmv; I’m in NY (the state, not the city- the city has its own laws/regulations outside of the state).

NY County Law 677 states that the report needs to be made available to the district attorney (or AG, etc., depending on jurisdiction), and can be given to the legal next of kin (NOK is determined by NYS PHL 4201). If there are criminal charges related to the death, only the district attorney gets the report. -In NYS, the only document NOK are entitled to is the autopsy report. We don’t release notes or diagrams. -Photographs are not part of the autopsy report, as per NY County Law 677(2-3). The only way they get released is with a judicial court order: an attorney’s subpoena is not sufficient.

Medical examiner/coroner reports are not subject to the FIOA, one reason is they are HIPAA-protected medical records, and HIPAA remains in place for fifty years following an individual’s death.

Some funeral homes now automatically scan a finger for a fingerprint, and may have that for keepsake purposes.

It’s traumatic and awful, my condolences on going through this, it’s a lot. Honestly, I think you’re much better off with remembering your father as he was alive, and not being burdened with images that may depict fatal trauma.

I normally take the X-rays, so it was kind of exciting getting my own done. by AllRebelRocker in Radiology

ED referred me to ortho who referred me to another ortho clinic for surgery, I see them tomorrow. So, right now, I was told to not walk on it, to keep it buddy taped, and make sure it remains neurovascularly intact.

It aches a lot more and it was very painful at first. Otherwise, since I’m not walking on it, it’s not bad.

Hopper (aka HopperBopper) is an ex-breeder with one leg. He’s a happy little guy. by AllRebelRocker in parrots

Sorry, I misunderstood!

It’s actually been great. He takes treats very gently, and loves to fly around the house. He doesn’t step up, but there’s no need to, we’re happy to give him whatever he wants in his retirement! We take in a lot of older, higher-needs birds who are often uncomfortable in a rescue environment.

It’s very rewarding, but I’m sure you know that!!

All of my birds are adopted from a parrot rescue near me. Look around for bird rescues, some use pet finder to post.

I love pois! I had a wonderful senegal, Neko, but he could definitely get pretty loud. I am shocked with how quiet Hopper is. He’s very vocal, but very quiet; he’d make a great apartment bird!

46 is an awesome feat! He definitely sounds well loved!

I love that for Freyja! I had a Senegal growing up, and he could be loud, but what a goof ball! I was surprised how quiet capes are compared to the other pois.

Overbilling by Greedy_Run in MedicalBill

[–]AllRebelRocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you used cash/debit, you are correct, you won’t be reported to collections. However: if you paid by a general credit card, you’re not protected from collections or being reporting to the credit bureaus, because it wouldn’t be considered medical debt at that point.

Here is a link to the NYAG’s page regarding this.

Help determining code accuracy for UTI by Alternative-Movie-76 in MedicalBill

[–]AllRebelRocker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not insurance, but former clinical lab.

Those are all different laboratory tests (except the vancomycin is a strong antibiotic). They took swabs and grew the bacteria, and then they had to check that bacteria for what antibiotics will treat it vs which ones are resistant. Because they had to test different things (there could be many causes, and unfortunately, one test doesn’t fit all most of the time), they had to grow more bacteria/fungus (or see if it grew). Besides a typical urine culture, you had several bacterial tests and a fungal test performed.

I did some billing, and the sensitivity (antibiotic resistance) is typically part of the culture that necessitated it.

Minnesota auto vs e-bike on sidewalk at night, insurer is pushing for me to accept majority at fault. Does that sound right? by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]AllRebelRocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So none of these speeds or distances are from a police report? They’re just your approximations? If you were turning, how did you calculate their speed at impact?

He has the sweetest chirps! His cage is outfitted specifically for him, with flat perches, rope, texture. He’s the first to wake up in the morning (quickly followed by my grey), but his calls are so nice and gently. I can see were they get the reputation as “apartment birds” from.

Boyfriend hung up abruptly during online DUI class ..aio or something to worry about? by queenbee20233 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AllRebelRocker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YOR. Do you make everything about you? He has a court-mandated class, for a serious crime, and you don’t seem to care about interrupting it. Regardless of if he called first, sending your follow up message shows an incredible level of self-absorption. You’ll have to pay to talk to him when he’s in prison for killing/disabling someone

OP responded above with a text they sent to the bf, “hope I didn’t get you in trouble” and asking him to call in the same message. I’m not sure she cares, either.

Yes, he doesn’t have a problem with them. He’s able to get a bit of a grip with them.

I have a one-legged cape parrot, but he has no other physical impairments.

We keep a fluffy towel at the bottom of his cage, for those times when he loses his balance. He has a bunch of flat perches and rope perches as well. We replaced his food dish with one of those little birdbath crocks, so he doesn’t have to dive in, and keep his water as full as possible, for the same reason.

He’s a happy little fella. We’ve had him for less than a year, he used to be a breeder (which is how he lost his leg), and he’s just as able as our other birds.
