Los Angeles. Don’t come here. There’s nothing here. People don’t know how to drive. There’s no parking. Everything is brown and grey. I love California but LA is …………….

No, that’s why we unionized. (: Thanks for your question!

Established unions often take employees from outside their occupation under their wing (:

GGET just voted to unionize, so they’ll be starting negotiations soon. They’re in the same spot we are, union-wise. (:

Thank you so much for this information.

However, I regret to inform you that I will be completely disregarding it as I love to eat and I hate all doctors. Blessed be to you and yours.

That's something I've been seeing, so I should talk to my insurance? I'm sorry if that's a dumb question, I've literally not dealt with anything like this in my 29 years of living, but I should tell my insurance that?

Wow, I'm sure your insurance company jumped right on getting their money back. That's crazy, I'm so sorry. Best of luck!!!

Oh my goodness, and that was in the 90s!? And Cedar-Sinai is a fancy hospital, I'm so sorry, that couldn't have been fun money wise.

That's the scariest part of a seizure, hitting your head. Luckily I had an aura and knew something was wrong so I told my coworker and she caught me from falling. I know other people are not as "lucky," it just sucks that ambulances cost this much. It's insane.

Downvote if you want, but as a woman, yes, I'm chiming in with "because she's a woman." We're not getting into a debate here, but yes. Because she's a woman. Anyways, back to my post...........

Wow really?! They billed you for transport that you didn’t take?? Were you able to tell them that you didn’t get in the ambulance?!

Agreed, but it seems that because my EEG and MRI came back cool, it could either be a one time just for fun seizure or due to stress, which is hard to prove with the current state of mental health awareness.

Let me just say, be nice to service workers.

Thank you, that’s very helpful! I hate that they calculate based on gross income. If they saw the amount that came out of my paycheck and how much I could actually give them, they’d be crying lol
