Joined: November 2004 Posts: 1374 | Just got off the phone with the financial administrator at the hospital. They have agreed to cover the costs of the implant and surgery for Char and associated surgery costs and provide the staff and inpatient aftercare at no cost.. everything BUT the surgeon's fees... her gp, Dr. Nunes has already waived his fees, is working on a fundraiser to help raise money for her care, and is consulting with his colleagues and those related to his practice hoping to find one willing to do the procedure, either for little or no cost. so hopefully if all goes well we can get her in to the hospital and have this done early next week. the hospital is waiting for the admission orders.. thanks for the prayers guys..

Nobody is uninsurable with a National Health System. Cost doesn't enter the equation. Wise up and do it guys - it won't make you communists. | ||

I've also heard, that the medical care's not as good. I suppose that's a myth, but canadians do come to new york for medical care, so there has to be some truth to it. By the way, I'm happy the bills are sorting themselves out. Hang in there. | ||

Joined: May 2004 Posts: 2850 Location: Midland, MI | Originally posted by schroeder: Our resident Enlgishman at 'ork has a different view on that. At least he has since his mother wound up in the hospital for emergency surgery because the NHS doctor kept rescheduling her pancreatitis op in favor of 'private patients.' He says that the latest development is for executives to have private coverage and that they pay well for it. So, the docs prioritize...two weeks for private patients vs. months for NHS patients. {shrug} Any system can (and will) be gamed.Course you could always live in Europe and you wouldn't have to go through this ridiculous heartache of paying for treatment.

Joined: November 2004 Posts: 1374 | Thanks All!! Dr. Nunes thinks he has the surgeon lined up... definite confirmation will come later today(hopefully), we have contacted several others as well just in case.. she's scared of the surgery.. but the implant is minor(almost outpatient)except for fishing the electrodes into the heart and monitoring for 24-48 hours.. surgery...and sometimes just done with a local and valium.. if it's a go after today she'll be coming off the bloodthinners and will be admitted early next week. I just got a care package from a fellow OFC member... so I now have something to work some nervous energy off with.. stripping/filling/sanding that wonderful bomb-proof poly off a viper body.. Thanks Mike(CrimsonLake)!! and Thanks again to all here for all of the prayers, kind thoughts and positive vibe. Glenn | ||

Joined: November 2004 Posts: 1374 | I liked the way they hammered the smaller tailstop studs/sockets into the Ovation sockets, primitive, ingenious, and probably worked pretty good.. I'm gonna try to salvage the sockets... but is really just an excuse to swing a hammer and use some tools... don't know if I'll be able to salvage the threads with a chaser or not... but since I'm already going to be chasing the threads on the UK body that B coated in paint will give those a shot as well.. if the neck pocket had had more than 1 side left Frank.. would have been the easiest choice.... but..he's apparently had a very rough life.. and needs and deserves full modification ala MW.. and if Dr. Woody deems it necessary reshape and rebuild him.. Thanks again, and Thanks Again! Glenn | ||

In Poland you pay for health care a lot of money relatively (about 15% of income) and you still have to pay for everything in hospital, maybe except bed. | ||

Joined: November 2005 Posts: 4832 Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Originally posted by schroeder: Wrong on both counts. Nobody is uninsurable with a National Health System. Cost doesn't enter the equation. Some people are uninsurable....or at least their treatment isn't. Same diff. While proponents may say cost doesn't enter into treatment, rationing does. Again, same diff. Still, it's not a horrible system....it just comes with its own set of different flaws. | ||

Joined: November 2004 Posts: 4413 | Correct. But there's no danger you won't get treated. So LBJ would you rather pay low taxes and watch your kids die? 13 million Americans without any form of health insurance is not exactly a wonderful situation. I'm not trying to make this political, just moral. | ||
