so one time i was having heart palpitations
and i'm on strong amphetamines which can exacerbate heart issues so this seemed Not Ideal
so i went to an urgent care clinic and the receptionist like "uhhh we're pretty busy right now and tbh if you're having a heart problem you should go to the ER"
so i did a big sigh and we went to the ER
i was there for like ten minutes, they basically took my pulse and measured my o₂, a doctor came in and waved off the pills saying it wouldn't be those, i probably wasn't getting enough potassium and should take a multivitamin
the bill arrived a couple weeks later. and then a second bill a week after that. the doctor and the hospital billed me separately
i think it cost five or six thousand dollars in total
to be told to take a multivitamin
and that will sure give me pause about ever going to an ER again
anyway american health care is bad
