Am I nuts?

Last edited Tue Sep 10, 2024, 04:07 PM - Edit history (1)

I live with someone who forbids me from calling 911 when his 200-lb ass is on the floor. I can't lift him.

My insane sister fell the day and banged herself up and whose right side is according to her becoming paralyzed. She's on Medicare. She's out of money so can't go for treatment.

I must be crazy. When I go for care, I present my Medicare card and they bill me later. I'm surrounded by assholes. I mean some stupid mofos. I'm gonna let them kill themselves.

I've got a medical bill coming today for surgery.

ETA my 7000 plus bill was $8.02

If he refuses EMT care, you will have to leave him until he can get himself up. Yikes. Unless they take him to the hospital, it costs nothing for the help to lift him. This has happened so often to us that the EMTs know where they're going when they hear the first numbers of our address. Lol They are angels and kind. Sorry you are in such a pickle of life.

I'm beyond disgusted. I refuse to lift him..he slipped in the shower and stuck bc he's obese. I said I'm calling and not paying. Fuck you.

Btw, my sister is buying expensive food and eating lobster shrimp quiche from scratch telling me I'm lazy bc i eat frozen meals. She's an asshole.

and leave him be. To lift him costs NOTHING. Ambulance to hospital costs, but you are billed first and then give insurance info and usually the cost is still nothing.

My latest response to I'm-cutting-the-money-off is do it we will be evicted in 30 days and goodbye

and then when you get evicted, move on and leave him to care for himself. The sister too. Change your number and block their calls.

They bill you after Medicare pays. So be paralyzed. You'll end up eating frozen meals since you won't be able to cook

6th round, Foreman could barely lift his arms - he had punched himself out. Ali knocked him out in the 8th round.

Eventually, he will scream himself out.

Still no movememt towards medical care. Again, you present Medicare card and you're billed later. I am in the twilight zone
