Further defying logic – he actually opens some mail addressed to him.
And what does the universe send him on this day.
A medical bill for two million eight hundred fourteen thousand four hundred ninety-three dollars.
He called my calming wife in quiet the distress and read to her over the phone...
Please pay this amount: $ 2,814,493

OMG! I got a knot in my stomach just thinking about that.
I think the first 'yelling at an insurance rep over the phone' thing is always the most stressful. Poor guy!
I think one might need the Papaver Somniferum after a bill like that!
I bet if they owed him that they wouldn't pay within 15 days.
i think i'd end up increasing that bill amount with a stroke and/or heart attack! wow! that really makes me extremely glad that i live with socialized medicine.
if you "Please pay this amount: $ 2,814,493" for our house, rather than some dumb ol' bill, we can be up there having cocktails out back with the big screen before the end of the month.
i was actually laughing when i called them about it.
we had a lovely chat. we dished about our older kids.
and no... Ferris will not be going to prison in 15 days.
I wish we had socialized medicine, I really do. The really sick thing is...that it is not unthinkable in this day and age that someone could actually rack up that sort of a bill with cancer, etc.
And, yeah...you just call them up (this may take some time as you have to leap through the robot voices for a very long while) and they tell you that they had a computer glitch or something.
I need to hear the rest of this story please. Thank you.
