(oldest posts, page 1. estimate the costs to you, the taxpayer, after reading a few pages)

“If you feel “down” call 911 and come on in at 5 am... especially if you have been seen in EDs over 100 times this year, been blacklisted at EVERY single psyciatric hospital in the area and even the probate judge refuses to listen to your whining and commit you any more... when discharged walk to the EMS station up the road and ask to be taken to another hospital for eval, then when they walk you back down the street act shocked and leave. “

LOL about that ER site. I've seen all of those patients at one time or another.

A real conversation:

Patient:" I'm having trouble pooping, and I'm losing weight over the past 2 months.

Me: "When is the last time you saw a doctor?"

Patient: "27 years ago".
