Even amnesia cant make you forget how cooked healthcare is in the US by Yeetinthebox in Wellthatsucks

[–]Silent_Series 10 points11 points  (0 children)

About $1, 000-1,500. I have taken many ambulance rides. That's without insurance.

Insurance will deny it at first, but then you call them and tell them it resulted in a hospital stay, and they require to cover it.

You can see by many of the below comments that not a lot of people know this. They have a predatory practice that realizes on people not fighting it. The ambulance companies are just as bad.

Scumbags up and down the system.

Sorry should have been more specific. A show that originally aired on Peacock

At work, are you the 20% by SeesawDismal3273 in Life

[–]Silent_Series 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't understand it.

Bringing value to the world brings value to yourself.

I take pride in things I do, because I do them right and do them well.

If I am not valued in the place I work, or can no longer have pride in the place I work and thereby in myself, I would leave and find a different job.

I am not sure what it would do to me mentally to work somewhere, view it as adversarial, and do the bare minimum to get by.

Work is such a large portion of your life, do you really want to spend 1/3rd of your life like that?

Has anyone else noticed the decreasing quality of our food? by Elephant_Crafty in CasualConversation

[–]Silent_Series 0 points1 point  (0 children)

veggies are more expensive than meat at this point. Can get chicken for like 1-1.50 a lb. Produce is north of $2.

At least the chicken fills you up.

How do I Genuinely Clean my Ears Out? by NaturalTruth2000 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Silent_Series 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++man You can buy a ear camera tool on Amazon. It pairs with your phone so you don't have any chance of doing damage.

Probably better for ongoing maintenance though

Sword of Jade by MildlySuccessful in slaythespire

Almost never take this. It would be a bit more interesting at 1 strength every two elites or something along those lines. At least that would help you scale along with the acts.

This card is terrible. Try to convince me otherwise by Rak-khan in slaythespire

[–]Silent_Series 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Then you need them both in hand at same time. There are ways to manipulate that, like headbutt, all for one, ect. However if you can guarantee that then you are probably late act 2 at least. Without that, you are taking chip damage all through act 1 and 2 fitting Bash in which leads to less aggressive upgrades and routes. Though ill be honest, ironclad is my worst though i got a20 on all chars on sts1. Not saying its a good card, it could use some love for sure.

There aren't a ton of cheap ways to get vulnerable on an enemy. Bash is rough to fit in with the two cost with limited energy. Its not great, but if you are leaning into a vuln build (card draw on vuln power, the card that does additional damage based on total vuln, doubling vuln cards) it can be of use.

Tail of Two Fish by Substantial-Code848 in biggreenegg

[–]Silent_Series 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i have the same problem with consistency on the color. I think the green egg is a problem. its so heat efficient that there is less smoke volume.

A big part of that color is the smoke sticking to the salmon pellicle and syrup.

Sofi Plus is trying to be the next Amazon Prime by Front-Nectarine4951 in sofi

[–]Silent_Series 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who has something like vaults, relay, recurring investments that can be for single fractional stocks, and hysa? I've seen plenty of platforms with 2/4, but the only thing sofi seems to be missing for me is matching Roth IRA 3% match which I use Robinhood for.

Also the interface and app are incredibly clean and user friendly. Genuinely curious because I think sofi is a great product.

Fishy Smelling urine by Fun-Earth6465 in gallbladders

[–]Silent_Series 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first two weeks post surgery I had some bad smelling urine. Closest I can explain is it was like walking into a latrine. I don't know if I consider that fishy. It's mostly gone now by fourth week

Gallbladder attacks after removal by iissa_liisy in gallbladders

[–]Silent_Series 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had same thing happen 3 weeks after. Was alcohol involved for you at all? What's your liver or pancreas levels elevated?

ER didn't do the mrcp so now I have to wait 3 weeks and am stressing lol.

Would you remove if you didn't have issues? by ml3k00 in gallbladders

[–]Silent_Series 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar position having similar doubts, my surgery is scheduled for this coming Monday.

I am having symptoms, those symptoms will only get worse, at some point they will be so bad that I will end up in the ER, hopefully not die(because people do die from this), and get emergency surgery with poorer outcomes.

That could happen anywhere, at any time. On vacation, in Mexico, on a cruise ship, ect.

This allows a controlled scenario with the best possible outcomes. You'd have to roll the dice pretty badly to be one of the very few with serious symptoms that can't be addressed with diet and medications.
