I wish I had health insurance at the moment

[ttobba]

Last Wednesday, I was vomiting all day. By Thursday, I was able to keep liquids down but no solids. I still can't hold any solids down and now I am aching all over, head kills, sore throat, coughing, chills, fever, and I just blacked out. I have to wait till the student health center opens tomorrow cause I can't afford an emergency room visit or the premiums for health insurance.

hope it isn't from the peanut butter

nope. Haven't eatten peanut butter in a while. According to the student health center I am in really bad shape. I spent 6 hours there today. They IVed me twice and I have a temp of 104.3. I shouldn't have been conscious according to them.

Damn. at least you still got the strength to fight the scam

I will always have the strength to fight the scam. Without the scam I would have the money for health insurance.

Doesn't your school offer student health insurance?

My school's health center was infamous for mistreatment of students; if you walked in with the chills, they offered you an AIDS test; they often misdiagnosed students which led to further complications (several wrote to the newspaper about this). My weight training instructor got hit by a car and the health center told him to take number and relax!

my school offers health insurance but it is still a 1000 for the premium and it is only doctors the school dictates which is student health center and the emergency room at the hospital. Our HC is pretty good though.

Well i have been sick since sunday. A co-worker was really sick from the cold on saturday. I started to catch it on sunday and was full in on monday. I been getting lots of sleep, basically working and going to bed. Taking lots of emergen-c, which has 1000mg of Vitamin C and a bunch of other stuff. My left ear is clogged up, can't hear out of it, but today i feel good enough not needing to go to bed immediately.
