I'm pissed off
The Real Bev
urine sent to the lab. They got my husband's results back in 4 days, but mine
were missing. When I called last week, the guy said he'd check and call me
back. Nothing. I called again today. The nice vampire who drew the blood
said the lab never received it.
I believe the lab lost it -- much more likely that one out of hundreds was lost
than one out of five or ten. But what really gripes me is that I had to pester
the doctor's office about it, and got no results until the second time.
Insurance isn't the answer it's cracked up to be -- it certainly doesn't
guarantee competence.

Thats because they are up on the wall down the lab, for a bit of light entertainment.

Because he didnt have the balls to tell you what had happened with them.

Corse they would say that...

You were warned about that furious drunken grave dancing, you wouldnt listen...

They were too occupied pissing themselves laughing when they

No one was ever stupid enough to claim that it did.

I don't see how insurance has anything to do with it. At least until you get
charged again to go get it redone.

No, those were the x-rays. The MRI was even nicer.

Grave dancing? You mean the stuff with the Druids? Perhaps that's called
"dancing" in Oz, but it's called something completely different here.

Hmm. What kind of lab results could possibly be that hilarious? Your
contributions to the local sperm bank, perhaps?

The democrats keep telling us that giving everybody medical insurance will
solve the problem. Obama seems to be hanging his career on the concept.

Having complete coverage doesn't mean that idiots won't lose things. Now I
have to go back and give more blood and pee. Granted, I have to ride my bike
to SOME destination every day, but the damn doctor's office isn't one of my
favorites.

Because of what you did to him the last time he fucked up.

Nar, the Irish. The Druids didnt bother with graves.
They were more into human sacrific and wickermen.

Not what the irish do on graves, stupid.

They make it clear that you'll be dead in days and given
what you keep doing to them whenever they fuck up,
thats why they were celebrating so enthusiastically.
> Your contributions to the local sperm bank, perhaps?
Those aint blood and urine tests, stupid.

He's a lawyer, stupid. ALL lawyers get rich on fuckups, stupid.

Having an insurance company negotiate costs with providers provides a
significant savings for their clients.
Paying cash (walking in the door) will most always be significantly more
costly than what the provider will charge the insurance company (and
what their clients eventually end up paying).
Bottom line is not so much the coverage, but the reduced cost of
coverage via their negotiations.
