This is nuts.
lildreamer starts the first post at 9PM and is still posting at 1:30 and is 'thinking' she needs to go to the ER for help but is afraid it'll hurt her credit rating?
Hey DUmmie! If you're able to sit around posting at the DUmp and you're worried about your credit rating you probably ain't that sick. Unless you're living in BFE there are probably about 100 'Doc-In-The'Box' places within 20 miles of your house, go there in the morning. Some are probably open 24 hours.

I'm about to ruin my meager credit rating for a medical emergency.
I've been suffering from what I believe to be a very bad case of food poisoning since this past Wed. I hope this is ok; mods..please read.
I AM NOT LOOKING FOR MEDICAL ADVICE!!!!!
Tues evening I was bedridden because of severe menstrual cramps..I took something for that;but was exhausted and my husband, who was out and about, offered to get me a treat - fast food. I've been cleaning up my diet and don't usually eat fast food more than about once a month, if that. As a side note, I am usually a very healthy individual..I've been very lucky in my life. My only existing medical condition is hypoglycemia; which I keep a close eye on. It does not usually give me any big trouble unless I forget to eat for some reason.
Anyway; he brings home two roast beef and cheddar sandwiches and I eat them. He goes to work and I go to sleep.
I wake up early that morning when he gets home and feel a little strange. He cooks dinner and I can't eat it at all. I camp out on the couch and go back to sleep.
I wake up about four hours later and my body needs sugar; so I grab a small muffin. Go back to sleep.
Wake up shivering so hard my muscles in my legs will not stop clenching..I'm having a hypoglycemic attack (I ate the wrong kind of sugar and nothing else) on top of a fever chill.
Then it swings to a semi-high fever; so I take a pain reliever/fever reducer and my fever breaks; sweating-ly.
This repeats over the next two days (minus the hypoglycemic reaction; I managed to get some solid food down later). I am nauseous but my body never forces me to expel.
Finally, today I force my body to expel. The fever and chills stop; but now just water makes me nauseous. I'm not going to be able to rehydrate myself, get any sugar into my system or flush my system out this way.
Husband brings me anti-nausea syrup; so I'm in the process of using that now and going to see how it goes.
If I am not better by the time he gets home; I'm going to give up and go to the emergency room.
The point of all this is that we have *just* barely dragged ourselves out of a bad credit rating into a slightly good one (one that is on the upswing; for sure). We do not have:1)house payment 2)car payment 3)credit cards; but of course we are both independent contractors and have no health insurance..just medicaid for my little boy. I had a 401K my mother left me; but you all know what happened to that. So....
SINGLE PAYER RIGHT ****ING NOW. PLEASE.

21. Going to visualize you well
lildreamer, that's all I can think of to do.
I am so sorry this medical move might be necessary after your family crawled out of a financial hole.
Life in these United States can be so cruel. The rabid form of capitalism practiced here makes it brutal.

Typical DUmmie rant........"SINGLE PAYER NOW!!!..........as long as the payer isn't me."

Yeah. You smoked it up in about a week.....ate to much... and now you're sick.

Sorry to sound cold but what a stupid bunch of made up shit.
It sounds like she has researched things to add medical stuff to her story to get the arms around the shoulder and make a political point.
If she knows what kind of sugar is bad then why did she eat it and if she suffers from anything why doesn`t she have the necessary foodstuffs available.
The whole thing is a crock of shit or would be for normal folks...given that she is a helpless and senseless DUmmy maybe there is a vestige of truth to it but that only proves the point of how completely useless and worthless they are.

The whole thing is a crock of shit.....
Damn, you're good, sir.
So eloquently put.

Midol, Tylenol and Pepto Bismal. $10-12 max.
Seriously...

Sounds like she just had the flu, but must blame a resturant while she throws in a few things about how healthy she is.
I'm glad my tax money is paying for her son's insurance. :censored:

2 Big ass roast beef sandwiches and you wonder why you're sick? Jesus! :-)

Umm...how's about A)She go see a regular doc instead which will be probably a fraction of the cost compared to the ER or B) go to one of those 1 minute clinic things a lot of stores have now(probably even cheaper still then the doctor). The ones I see crying about single payer health care use the damn ER as the dr's office--it's no wonder they find it totally unaffordable.
My mother didn't have health insurance when she first came up to live with us, but she called around and a found a doctor willing to negotiate a fee. 40 bucks a visit(not much more then the copay we have incidentally) and he would do his best to give her trial size meds if he could or the generic for her prescriptions. I remember when she did get sick one time with the run of the mill ongoing respiratory type of thing and all told it cost her about 60 bucks total including prescription.
I'd also like to know why this woman's child is receiving Medicaid--how much income is going unreported as an 'independent contractor'...hmmm...I'm sure enough that 60 to 100 bucks can go to the dr to find out she's eaten something wonky. You know what a lot of this boils down to folks--people have the 60 to 100 bucks, they just don't want to fork it over for medical care--they want everyone else to contribute to that so their disposable income goes untouched---unfortunately I think a LOT of people nowadays are like this--nickle and diming every way they can including tryign to foist some of their own costs on the 'government' so they have more 'play money'. America and a lot of it's citizens have become a disgrace an not for the reasons the idiot liberals like to think.
ETA: One's credit rating will only be touched if one does not pay their bill for an extended period of time. Usually hospitals are quite agreeable with working out a payment plan which will stave off such occurances. From what I've been told recently, I don't even know that medical bills figure into a credit report anymore either anyway--at least not so quickly that this individual needs to worry about it being affected.

A) I didn't realize that it had gotten so bad that the proles needed to take out a loan just to be seen at the ER. (Don't worry, Lord Zero will take care of that, making it a reality before too much longer.
B) The only way taking out said loan to visit the ER would "screw my credit rating" is if I had no intention of paying it back; in which case, it isn't the ER that's hosing your credit rating, DUmbass.

I admit I've never had food poisoning that I know of but this sounds just like the flu I had recently. Surprisingly enough, my symptoms were exactly the same as this idiot's. I'm pretty sure it wasn't food poisoning since I haven't eaten fast food lately and didn't compound my problems by eating a sugar-laden muffin on an already irritated stomach. I pretty much stuck to soup, tea, 7-Up, and toast. It was pretty miserable but Advil, Pepto, and Nyquil at night allowed me to manage enough to get through my day (I can't lay around in bed because there's no one to take up the slack).
Everything these people get is a national catastrophe! The flu is food poisoning, a hang nail is a broken finger, a large bruise is a sign of leukemia, being fat, pale, and slightly jaundiced is a sign of pancreatic cancer. Because if she's well enough to sit at the computer and rant then whatever she has isn't a health crisis worthy of an emergency room visit. Such drama queens! Too bad most of them are too fat and ugly for Hollywood.

31. Pretty good..
We've had a hell of a last five months; husband moved from one job to another that he thought was going to promote him. Instead, a month later, they fired him under a false charge. He's been piecemeal with work ever since. Then he was coming home from one of the jobs two hours away and was run off the road by a drunk driver. Totalled our car we've only had less than a year (still paying on). Fortunately the insurance covered it, but we don't have a car now. My internet was shut off for non-payment for awhile, but a dear friend helped us pay to get it turned back on, and we managed a decent christmas after raiding my 401K my mother left me (large penalties, but it couldn't be helped).
We have better hopes for 2009.

Spent it buying Christmas presents. Her Mother must be rolling in her grave. What's really interesting, though, is that the DUmmie pegs out the irony meter with this post.
What are the "large penalties" associated with cashing out a 401(K) as a beneficiary?
The lump sum you receive will be subject to local, state and federal income tax. However, you will not have to pay the 10% early withdrawal tax even if you and/or the deceased person are under 59 ½ (the age at which account holders are allowed to start withdrawing money from their accounts without a penalty).

So, FREE HEALTHCARE....um as long as I don't have to pay like income taxes and stuff...on....um...inherited money.

Why is it everytime a DUmmie admits they or a loved one got fired, it was always under a false charge or pretenses?

yes, there is a always a reason, frank. And that reason tends to favor the DUmmies as some wronged party falsely accused more often then not. Strange that...I'd bet it's higher then the general population the number of people fired there with 'no good reason' according to them. Hmmm...curious.

If it truely was a false charge, she would of already posted a thread about what lawyer they hired and how rich they will become.
