    I was charged $12,000 to stay in an ER room while doctors did test after test on my 3 day old baby. We never got any results given to us and in the end we were told none of those tests were needed.

    An X Ray, two spinal taps, a dozen blood draws - not a single result. We went for low blood sugar. The hospital kept giving him tests so they could keep charging us. But that’s what you get when healthcare is for profit.

    Yeah the system we’re using right now in the US is amazing. /s





  • When I was a teen I worked as a waiter at a dirty smokehouse/bbq place.

    One of the kitchen staff there would make sexual comments about me. Say things like “You’re lucky you look good because you’re so stupid.” And would ask what kind of underwear I was wearing.

    I told my parents about it, and the advice they gave me was “Deal with it. You need a job.”

    Within a month that kitchen staff member had started to grab me and sexually assaulted me.

    I don’t talk to my parents anymore.
