On October 2, 2004, I headed into the Emergency room in Frederick Maryland because I was having “chest pains”. I did not think these pains were heart attack related as i”ve been having them for quite some time and just figured they were stomach related. However, my pulse was a bit on the “weird” side so my father and I decided it best to go “just in case”….’, ‘We get to the hospital at about 11pm on a friday night and I head to the triage to check in and tell them why I am here. Not taking chances, I immediately said “I think I might be having a heart attack” and her response was “I hope not”. Well duh, I hope not also. LOL. Turns out that they had run out of “Cardiac Beds” which means if I was having a heart attack I was shit out of luck unless I coded right there on the floor and they took me into a trauma room. 15 minutes pass by answering what seemed like 1000 questions she put me on a gurny in the triage room and hooked me up to the EKG machine. It was “normal” so they thru me in a hallway until they had a cardiac bed for me. Over an hour has passed since I walk into this hospital complaining of chest pains before they even get me into a room where a doctor can see me. He checks my pulse, uses his stethoscope and pretty much confirms what I thought was wrong. My stomach was contracting because I had produced “too much acid”. Of course, he wanted to be sure just like me, so he took my blood and had my chest x-rayed to see if my heart was swollen. When they took my blood, they attached what I call an “IV Hookup” which would allow them to put whatever they wanted directly into my blood (which I was not too fond of and it was extremely uncomfortable). 2 hours pass by (Now remember I have only seen this doctor for a total of 5 minutes so far) and he comes back in to tell me my bloodwork is fine and so are the x-rays and that he is going to give me a prescription for Nexium. I”m thinking “oh joy” medicine. For the record, I hate taking any kind of medicine. He tells me a nurse will be in shortly to remove the “IV Hookup” and get me checked out. About 45 minutes later, a nurse shows up, hands me this weird green “GI *censored*tail” and said it would help with my stomach contractions. She removes the “IV Hookup” and sends me on my way. Now on to the ass-raping part.. Less than a week later I received my first bill for the visit. Not so bad, only $35 for the xrays. 4 more days later, I get the actual bill from the Hospital, $550! Yep, thats $550 to sit in a bed for 3.5 hours, use of an x-ray machine and “equipment used”. I”m thinking “holy crap this is rediculous.” I lay it aside in my ever increasing “have to pay” bill pile right on top of the x-ray tech bill. Then 2 more days later, I get another bill from the doctor himself for $250!! yep. He thought it prudent to charge me $250 to see me for less than 15 minutes. So that 3.5 hour trip to the hospital cost me $800. Not to mention the Nexium cost me $5 PER PILL. So $100 for a grand total of $900. Albeit, the Nexium was the best thing since sliced bread. It worked great and I wish i could continue to afford to buy it as it provided relief on my stomach pains i’ve been having for years. If you have acid problems with your stomach go check out www.purplepill.com and read up on Nexium. I recommend it to anyone. Though it hasn”t helped the “chest pains.” I can tell you this for a fact, I”m never going to the hospital again unless I am unconcious and unable to protest. Its going to take me a year to pay this trip off.

I am completely disappointed that John Kerry conceded the election. Is he like everyone else and a quitter? Not willing to fight for our country? I sit here at my computer reading thru the world headlines and come across an article about North Korea. Bush wants to start a war there now and they HAVE nukes. Nukes that are capable of reaching US in the USA. The person in charge of these nukes is NOT afraid to use them. “Kim Jong Il will strike first at the first sure sign of invasion. His army and people have been waiting for the moment for over half a century and will be much pleased to kill some Japanese and Yanks. Kim has over one million soldiers, more than 8,000 heavy guns that fire 300,000 shells loaded with biochemicals per hour, and missiles that can hit Japan and Los Angeles, Seattle, and other major American cities. It is believed that North Korean missiles hidden in caves are already loaded with WMD warheads and ready to go. ” What this means is, George Bush is trying to kill us ALL. I believe that if John Kerry was voted into the office, this would not be such a problem situation, however, we have Mr. Hot-head to deal with again. Anyone selling tickets off this planet before he starts world war 3? I sure as hell want to get off this ride. -SJ
