Brief update: relative took me to ER (saved $950 over ambulance). Not a flu or even Norovirus. Two liters of IV saline and a trip to GI lab. I have been avoiding Upper GI for years but they had me as a captive audience under Valium. Went great, they tell me, no recollection at all under Versed and Fentanyl and Valium (But I’m sure it was lots of fun in real time). This was all covered under a state insurance program (WA State), but that program Basic Health may be going away in two months. Glad this happened now! I actually have had good experiences with Basic Health. It is not much like RomneyCare!
