It's amazing how many adults think that they don't need to pay attention to warning labels. Sigh.

Cuz you should. You have hero shits. Because youre a hero. You shit is better than most out there man. I am so impressed. Like... you saved a life, a child's life. You probably do it all the time so you don't even know how fucking awesome that is. Go to the bar - and proceed to pick up any woman in there. Simply say, I shit hero shits, and I saved a life today. That mom better bring you a nice Chilean red wine tomorrow for saving her son. And some shitting reading material for when you take your hero shits. truly awesome. 5/5 | ||

In the U.S., there is no free healthcare without some kind of heavy duty paperwork. The ER won't let you die (they do have medical ethics in the doctors, nurses, and EMTs) but they will bill you afterwards. There are different programs and things that can help make those bills less or even go away, but that depends on the hospital, state, and any charities that may work with the hospitals. Most will try to work with you, but it's still expensive. Even with good insurance, a trip to the ER will probably start at around $400, if my own experiences there are any kind of measure. In general, even with excellent health insurance, people in the United States are one major injury/illness away from bankruptcy. Now, so I can avoid the potential of a discussion of US healthcare, let me reiterate something else. EMTs are fucking heros. So are nurses. Most doctors are as well. They work insane hours, deal with things most people couldn't imagine, and often do it while some asshat in an office is trying to figure out how to bill the insurance to the hilt. Many kudos for your lifesaving work, man. | ||

ER costs a lot and hospital a can literally put people in debt for the rest of their life. and hats off to the EMTs/Doctors/Nurses/Firemen | ||
