After desperately refreshing, I went to downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it said videosift didn't even exist! I immediately hired a bounty hunter.


It seems that was unnecessary.

McCain healthcare plan - go to Walmart instead of ER

I try to stay out of political converstations, and by no means am I a mcCain supporter....but here, he is absolutely right. He isn't talking about people who need genuine medical care here, he is talking about the other 98% of cases that come into the emergency room. I work in an emergency room full time, it is the only part of the hospital I work in. My job is to create the account which generates the bill, which means I type in the patient's complaints then do all the proper insurance coding, as well as going to see the patient to get consent forms signed. 98% of of people that come into the emergency room come in for things that aren't even remotely emergent (Back pain x6 years, sore throat, cough, fever, knee pain, upset stomach). People who don't have insurance, and know that they have to pay a regular doctor upfront. So they come in and get seen and all the need is an antibiotic. That's $500 (Yes, five hundred dollars) they will never pay. A minute clinic could get them their needed antibiotics for 50 bucks. Also, the majority of people that abuse emergency services (Drug seekers, etc.) are medicaid patients (medicaid is GROSSLY abused. It is unreal). These are costs that you and I pay in our insurance premiums, and the reason why hospitals have to raise prices. We collect about 10 cents for every dollar that a self-pay patient owes us. So in this case, yes, I do agree with McCain (and remember, he is NOT talking about real emergencies here)

And anyone that's seen any laceration on the head knows that bleeding is profuse.



Mmmm, not necessarily. I've only worked in the emergency room a couple months now but I've seen plenty of kids come in with head lacerations like that from falling or running into stuff that don't bleed that bad.

You know this is Canada because in America this would've resulted in a ridiculous call for litigation of banning shotguns, metal detectors at putt putt courses, and that guy getting tased.
