Good Morning!
Okay I received the bill from my day at the ER a few weeks ago. I knew the hospital bill would be ridiculous because they are rip offs, always have been. What I didn't know was that when you are in an emergency situation and you take an ambulance you would be better off calling Uber! I had a bad migraine that day but I had to take my daughter to get her physical for Kindergarten. The doctor there didn't like how I was looking so she took my blood pressure. It was very very high so they called my dr who is also in the same building. Now my doctor told them to call an ambulance because I am stroke zone. Next thing I knew they came out to tell me the ambulance is on the way because my BP is dangerously high and I must be admitted at the ER now! I wasn't prepared for that because I still had kids at home to tend to and my husband was sleeping for work. My son was with me so he said he would drive me to ER but the dr's wouldn't allow it. They kind of forced the ambulance ride on me. They didn't do anything on the ride to the hospital except ask me a few health questions and gave me oxygen. Now can you please tell me how a 20 minute ride to the hospital warrants a price tag of $3,500? I'm not understanding that at all!!! I can see giving you money for gas and tolls and maybe a tip for hospitality but damn $3,500!! I didn't even get a glass of water! It should be illegal to do this! Needless to say, next time if I am having a damn heart attack I will call Uber or a cab before I call the ambulance! It's the biggest Rip off of all time!!! I am so done with them!! That is a shame before God and man to be charging folks that obscene amount!
