Although it was the most unpleasant and unfortunate Thanksgiving I've ever experienced, it reminded me the essence of the celebration: Always Be Thankful.
Chean sent me to the ER around 7a.m.
Tag on.
The ER aisle.
Room number (weird to say it this way).
All the equipments and facilities scared me though.
Chean, aren't you suppose to be worried? Stop posing!
Look at my pose, I'm pro. (Of course, I was sick :p)
I swear, I was in pain! But I never forgot to feed my fishes :p (Confuse? Read THIS)
The whole ER experience took me about 4 hours. By the time I left, I was extremely exhausted and sleepy!!!
Not there yet. I still need to buy medicine at pharmacy :'(
Despite its ridiculously high cost, another thing I hate about U.S. health care system is the medical consultation and dispensary operate as two distinct sectors.
This means: if you are severely sick, you need to run to a clinic or hospital for consultation and description first. Then, run to a pharmacy to buy your medicine.
I know, doesn't make sense right? Ohh, did I tell you the whole ER moment costs around US$ 900? Ridiculous.
Don't worry about me, I've fully recovered :) I should be thankful for everything, except the extremely high medical bill.

Oh .. Always take care yourself ~
Thanksful...take care ya~!
和你一样有同感
在美国生病好贵
我发烧一次，就花了美金300
同事曾说在美国只有小孩和老人允许生病，因为有福利
不然你要买保险，才够给医药费
feeling better now?
do get well soon and enjoy your holiday~
i agree about the medical cost in the US.that's why i need to have insurance in case any thing happen.still,expensive~
now snowing season, you, your hubby and Miyaki always take care each others ya. ^^
Take good care pretty. Money is nothing if it can buy us health. So don worry bout the 900 bucks. Jus remember to be healthy :)
Its normal to get consultation and description. This way people won't buy wrong medicine.
The ER costs US$900, not sure whether is consider expensive or cheap. Maybe you're converting the currencies comparing with Malaysia. Hehe....
Anyway...... take cares..... All the best.
