Oh I know! Im trying to go back to pre 1907 medicine lol. It was somewhere around there Roth flipped that shit.

lol.... they are truly some of the worst.... eddie and seamonkey (along with a few others) brag about going to college.... 

Quote from: deadskinmask on January 31, 2026, 07:29:35 AMif ppl would limit the amount of treatment they received, the prices would drop at the same rate.... ppl with insurance have no issue getting checked for every little sniffle.... this keeps that money machine well greased.... but i assure you as the money dries up, the prices would drop....

That drives me crazy seeing those folks swarm the ER. I NEVER go for a cold or anything, just ride it out on the couch with rest, fluids, chicken soup, and of course a shot of whiskey and honey lol.

You right though, folks use it WAY too much.

thats understandable.... personally, i like eddie.... but i suspect hes a very "aquired taste".... i'm more repelled by seamonkey.... hes total garbage....

I feel ya 

Quote from: Blazor on January 31, 2026, 01:47:28 PMGoing good so far, they have me doing exercises at home everyday, and they have me do some there with electric shock therapy lol. Im entering week 4 this week, and they gonna try and put me on a bike. I can bend my knee to 90 degrees now. Going twice a week, but after this week it drops to once a week. Around first of March, they will evaluate, and possibly extend another month. Im supposed to be back to work by mid April no matter what.

I'm just about done with physical therapy. I still feel like there's a wrap or band around my knee tho. Its a weird sensation. My worst pain, intermittently, is below the outside of my kneecap running down my outer shin. Its not constant, but man does it hurt sometimes!

Quote from: Blazor on January 30, 2026, 11:02:07 AMI think its $1440 a year on me, employer around $7k Im pretty sure.

I have a chart I have to go by, as far as what is free, what has a copay and how much, what I have to pay 30% of, etc.

Physical therapy is $35 a pop til I hit my max out of pocket.... which I already have. Does cover some meds, think my pills cost me $7 after the surgery, but I only needed the pain ones for a couple days, and the baby Aspirin to prevent any blood clots.

I did get the mid grade Dental, and Vision, they were the main things I wanted, like I could of cared less on the health one lol. They were cheap to add too, like less than $20 a month I think.

Yeah the deductible is $4000, and max out of pocket is $5000, and I've met both of those for the year. When I talked to HR, they "thought" the deductible was part part of the max, but its not.

My husband and I pay nothing for all dental, prescription medications, massages, physiotherapy, or any aids that a doctor writes a note for such as arm braces.....that is our private extended medical......none of those things are covered by the public health care.

That does sound odd. For me, its above the outside of my kneecap, on the inner side, but I think its mostly from the brace pinching the area.

We gonna get through this shit!!!

Seamoron is a given forum cancer. I saw no point in even mentioning him.

None of those three losers works. Asal is one of RW's handles. When she got MS and stopped working she turned into a marxist.

The original version of this forum grew out of VF. One of the primary reasons we broke away was pizza-faced Eddie. He was doxxing people and causing problems for their careers/businesses. He has nothing going on in his life which is why he lives at VF 18 hours/day.

yeah.... hes the definition of a "low function" individual.... much like seamonkey, joe, asal, soon and oscar.... i suspect thats why communism is so appealing to them....
