Hey friends! ย Welcome to it!
I hope this weekend finds you happy and well, having napped,ย cocktailed, or baconed at least once so far.
I have a big birthday coming up this week and I’ve been thinking a lot about the ways I care for myself and for the people close to me. ย The quiet things that we just do because we’re kind and not total jerks, like changing my self-talk from hyper critical to compassionate… or like making breakfast and giving your partner the best piece of crispy bacon or that extra dab of coffee. ย I’m thinking a lot about the culmination of those small but immense things. ย I’ll write more about it once I have a birthday and a cupcake and my thoughts straight.
Enjoy a beautiful Sunday, even if it’s weird and raining at the end of May like wwwhhyyyy?
There’s an important question at the end of this post that involves me and Facebook Live. ย Hang in there with me. ย I appreciate your thoughts.
I’m grateful for you, truly. ย Here’s some Internet for us:
โข ย We have a problem, y’all. ย It’s about how much money we pay when we need help from medical professionals… aaaand we have health insurance. ย A few years back I had a bike accident and paid many hundreds of dollars for the board that the paramedics strapped me to in the ambulance. ย Just the board! ย The board that I didn’t ask to be strapped to, didn’t much like being strapped to, and strangely enough…didn’t get to keep. ย And they didn’t even turn the siren of the ambulance on to get me to the hospital. ย That’s the real outrage. (Is it though?) ย Enough about me. ย Read more about The $629 Band Aid. ย

I found the value of associate degree visit article attention-grabbing. Iโm a doctor operating within the British National Health Service. Here, that father wouldn’t are charged a penny for transportation his girl to the emergency department (but can clearly be tributary to the service via his taxes). Running prices area unit lower here as workers don’t seem to be as extremely paid and therefore the NHS has right smart power to barter down prices from suppliers. but (and itโs a giant however), transportation a toddler with a minor move their finger to the emergency department would still be seen as a gross misuse of the services. in fact new oldsters worry regarding minor things, however there area unit acceptable ways that} to hunt help and so there’s the emergency department which is unbelievably inappropriate.The distinction is that within the US you are doing that and YOU get hit with the charge for being thus insane. In the UK, itโs the service as an entire that suffers from misuse. I completely believe a health service that’s free at the purpose of care however I notice it laborious to own a large quantity of sympathy for this man That, I actually have sympathy for!
