“So do you have your medical insurance cards on you?”
“No. It's in my purse, sitting in my car, at the gym.”
“Okay, so to get you admitted, we'll put you down for ‘paying out of pocket.’”
“So does that mean we need to pay now with a credit card?”
“No. Here, call us when you get your medical insurance information.”
“So she's not being admitted?”
“No, you are being admitted.”
“But you want us to call you?”
“Yes, here's the number.”
“You want us to call you, the hospital, from the hospital, with the insurance information?”
“Yes.”
“…”
“Don't forget to call!”
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
