This was a for profit religious hospital known for their poor ER performance but it was the closest one and I was throwing up from pain in my mom’s backseat so we figured how bad could it be.

Don’t worry, we’re painfully aware.
Yeah for real, the hospital gave no shits until the phrase “insurance fraud” came up and suddenly everyone was super nice and accommodating 😮💨
I like this idea but I struggle to believe it would work.
Went to the hospital for a kidney stone a few years ago. When I was released, 3 security guards crowded the front door to the hospital and wouldn’t let me leave for an extra hour and a half because they were adamant I had to pay my bill then and there.
They had all my information, didn’t even bother trying to go through my insurance, just “no, you owe us 2400 right now” and threatening to call the cops.
Me, a 110lbs woman fucked up on dilauded was ready to tussle but ended up paying before I left cause I didn’t want to deal with the police.
They ended up charging me, and then my insurance as well. I talked to my insurance who then bullied them into paying me back. Took 6 months but I did manage to get paid back.
VirtigoMommy@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are there any songs or albums for which you prefer the live version?2·6 days agoAlive 2007 is a masterpiece, right up there with it for me is Justice - across the universe
Some other notable favorites for me.
Bridge over troubled water - Aretha franklin - live at the Filmore west
I wish I knew how it feels to be free - Nina Simone - the montreux years
Momma look a boo boo Dey - lord melody - having trouble finding the right album but live versions are considerably better
Lagrimas Negras - many artists, not sure who did it originally- Cuba Feliz live
VirtigoMommy@sh.itjust.worksto Television@piefed.social•What’s your favourite forgotten/niche or otherwise obscure TV series that you wish more people knew about?3·15 days agoDanger 5
South Australian tv show that is a “what if Charlie’s angels tried to kill hitler” presented as a bad Spanish soap opera from the 70’s in the first season and a shitty action drama from the 80’s in the second.
Deliciously bizarre, infinitely quotable, phenomenal soundtrack, very hard to explain. Think power rangers levels of drama with tastefully absurd offensive elements (blackface, misogyny, nazis) played for perfect comedic effect. Seriously one of a kind show.
Both seasons are posted as one 6hr video on YouTube. - https://youtu.be/vFzCQcHglFA

VirtigoMommy@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How to combat Ticketmaster / Livenation?15·17 days agoI second this.
I see great local shows regularly and I haven’t paid for tickets past a donation bucket at the door in years.
I’m trans so ymmv if you fuck more cis women but absolutely 5.4 is good.
Bigger than average dicks are nice on occasion but are less than ideal when it comes to anything regular. Average size dicks I could ride for multiple rounds, day after day and not end up bruised or feeling like I’m going to split in half trying to work it in. Plus average dicks (4-6 in) tend to hit my g spot while 7+ dicks slide right past it and just slam into more painful areas.
VirtigoMommy@sh.itjust.worksto Transfem@lemmy.blahaj.zone•How did you settle on a name?English6·18 days agoI tried a couple differant names out at the same time just using differant names in different social groups I was in. None of them really felt right until one day a new name popped in my head and immediately felt right. Told everyone later that day that that would be my name. Thinking back now, it’s weird to think I was ever called anything else.
VirtigoMommy@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you know of a dating app which caters primarily to heterosexuals, respects your privacy, doesn't use analytics and doesn't require G00g13 services to function properly?1·27 days agoHonestly, bots suck but I can ignore the. Having to ‘prove’ I’m human by scanning my face literally Every. Fucking . Time. I even think about opening tinder is almost worse than just dealing with bots.
VirtigoMommy@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something that you mess up frequently enough that you should know better, but you continue to do it anyway?1·27 days agoFor necessary I always think 1 collar, 2 sleeves. This has rattled through my head every time I’ve spelled it the last 20 or so years at this point.
Now if only I could remember it’s different not differant 😣

I’m a trans woman so I’m sure we have very different needs as far as dating goes but ime they’re all variations on the same damn thing. Endless swipe fests
So if the barista doesn’t have pants on that’s alright too? As long as they keep it behind the counter right?
Weak take. I’m all for exhibitionism but there are plenty of better spaces to take part in that. If there are kids coming in and out, then that’s not the place to be doing exhibition.
lol there’s a literal child in the background.
I love exhibitionism too, but damn. Time and place.

VirtigoMommy@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are things that are illegal today that could become legal in 50 years?41·1 month agoI used to pay $10 a gram for high quality wax buying black market. The cheapest I can find it in my state after legalization is $45 for .8 g mid/low grade wax.
Legalization has only enshitified Weed. Lower quality, less variety, just as illegal if your traveling or don’t have the proper bag with the official sticker yada yada…
Had the same reaction when I got to sit in a Delorean for the first time. First thought was literally “wow… this is tiny, I hate this” followed swiftly by “this car was built to do cocaine and show of your girlfriend in” so 🤷♀️ pros and cons I guess.
I’m 5’9” and it topped out just above my belly button. Had maybe an inch of headroom in the driver seat.
