Just really think in terms of bangability. You wanna bang someone with a hairy forehead? Neither did our ancestors.

Call the hospital, get the billing department ask if you can talk to someone about reducing the bill.

I had a similar situation once, said my chest hurt and everyone freaked out and I ended up with a 5k ER bill. With no actual answer to why my chest hurt, and was still hurting.

I talked to the hospital they set up an appointment with a woman, I showed bank statements, income, insurance information. Ultimately, because I had very little income or money at the time. They just forgave the entire amount. No more bill.

Definitely worth a shot.

Love that song, exactly what I thought of.

I meant freeze, which you should do.

Just a friendly reminder to lock your credit.

I went to some AA meetings at one point in my life. It’s sickening to see people cheapen their success by thanking god, instead of their own willpower.

You made the decision, thank yourself, or the people around you.
