I'm to the point where I just laugh when I get them.

I saw ONE DOCTOR while I was there. I have to have bills from, like, 15 different doctors.

They read the CAT scan....then sent it to someone else for a second opinion....then..WHAT the heck it's only money....they slipped it to a third doctor so he can bill me, too.
I feel like phoning these doctors and saying, "Hi...can you tell me what I look like? No? Are you certain that you can't tell me what I look like? Because, ya know...it's the darnedest thing. I can't tell you what YOU look like either....so WHAT the hell is this bill for hundreds of dollars you've sent me??"

I'm calling it an 'event'. When that stops working, I have a really good sad song for this occasion.lol. Followed by the dream bubble, bravado etc. Anything to insulate me from anxiety...

Yes, I get the worries, too. Kind of like a really big fish you have to reel in.

My connection is cutting on and off today.

When my daughter fell into a concrete pit and lacerated her leg to the bone (at her gym), we spent 12 hours in emergency. (We arrived at 7pm and left at 7am the next morning--it was excruciating) The gym was responsible for her injuries and paid for it, but we got all the bills and forwarded them to the gym owner. It was absoutely nuts how many different drs and people separately billed---I felt the same way you did, Quirky...."Yeah, ok, who is this and WHEN did he see my daughter?"

I would think, "Well, that has got to be the last of them", and we would get something else in the mail. For $100's more....
