Royal Rant (original) (raw)
Geezus, Some of you know some of you don't. Awhile back I had some trauma to my ribs, (koda jumped on me, while I was on the floor landed square on my back) Anyway nough background, been in pain for awhile. This week it seemed like to me the pain was getting sooo much worse instead of better. Tried to get a Doctors appointment at one of the clinics, etc etc etc. So figuring to day would be the best day to take off and not have my usual chargees, I decided to take myself off to the emergency room to see if I could get a little pain relief and just to make sure that there wasn't something else wrong that I was maybe missing (cause really this should have healed a bit not gotten worse)cause the pain remained pretty heavy and kinda moved around my entire rib cage and now both front, back and side is sore. Kinda swollen and red blotches.( So I explained all that just to catch up the people who didn't already bleeding know.) Figured I was being a good girl getting a professional opinion. Geez, they saw me all right, the Doctor said he thought maybe I had a cracked rib, but they really couldn't do anything to check it out (like exrays) unless I wanted to put down a three hundred dollar downpayment. And this was at University! Told me to take Aleve for the inflamation. In other words I'm back to treating my self, hell Aleve has an antioxidant in it, we were already covering that base with the green tea. It also has an analgesic in it, which we were covering with willow bark tea. Guess I'll continue with the help of my friends to treat myself. Stupid health organizations! They make it practically impossible to get help if you have no insurance. Oh yeah there are clinics out there, takes six months to get on the list and see someone. Geez by that time the rib better damn well be healed.
Only good thing that happened after all that waiting around, was the stupic MD did listen to my lungs. He pronounced them clear, so no pneumonia or pleurisy complicating things, thats good anyway. Sorry about the negative rant of mine, but this is becoming a pet peeve of mine. WE NEED A NATIONAL HEALTH PLAN!!!! Besides they always look at you as if you are the lowest of the low. For christ sake not everybody who can't afford health insurance is a bum! I'm self employed, and coverage for just me is way too high. Practically the same as my rent. ok done now
