We Had to Decline Your Card, Harry

[Doktor Howl]

Harry?  Hi, it's the nurse down at the outpatient clinic.  Your Visa card came back declined. 

Yes, I ran it through twice. 

No, I AM terribly sorry, but without an alternate form of payment, we can't give you your treatments next month.

Yes, I know the situation, Harry.  If you can find any method of payment, we can still keep this under control.

Look, I know.  If I had my way, I'd say get your ass in here.  But I'm just the nurse, Harry.  Our bosses certainly won't allow us to treat you without payment, and the only result of us trying would be you not getting treatment, and the doctor and myself getting fired.

Well, you can try, but medicare basically doesn't exist anymore, even though you're technically old enough to enroll.

Maybe you could go down to the VA hospital?  I know they're not the best option, but THEY have to treat you, right?

Oh, you already tried.  No funding there, either, eh?

Well, I am sorry, Harry.  Let us know if you can make arrangements, and we'll make a hole in the schedule for you.

I AM sorry, Harry.

Goodbye.

[Adios]

We need to send these to...*shakes head*  NM.  Can't think of anywhere where this would make a difference.

You know, even my HUSBAND has said he's thinking of moving out of this country.  "Now that the bastards are eating their own children.  Might as well be in fucking Afghanistan."

He's talking sense.  Canada might hang on for a few more years, and God knows they're always looking for doctors.

He was casually offered a job there several years ago...the BC side, anyway.  Sigh.

Fuck this country in its ass.  I just got my dad back.

Maybe europe. I hear the Netherlands aren't too bad, everybody's bilingual so communication is no problem and they at least pretend to care if people live or die.

Roger for the whole Harry series even though they make me cry!!!  


As the topic has progressed....

My sister swears New Zealand is the place to be.  Desperate for any medical professionals, it is the number one

place they are sending travelers these days.  For almost twice the pay one would get in the US.

New Zealanders are saying the same about Australia, twice the pay as in New Zealand.

Better weather too!

Aussies are saying the same about the U.S. BTW. The fucking PROMISED land, that. Streets paved with X-box point cards and iPhones grow on the treeeeeees!
