I'm starting to hate the medical world. So you know how I had to take care of forwarding my MRI again after asking the hospital to do it once. Deja vu...my uncle still hasn't received the MRI. So i called the hospital again. This time she's going to overnight it and put a tracking number on it. So yeah, I'm totally calling back tomorrow to check up and see if the third time's the charm. If they haven't sent it out by tomorrow I don't know what to do.
Other hospital stupidity....Billing. I got a bill in the mail last week. I went online to pay it on Monday and it said that i had a balance of $0. I called billing to make sure there wasn't a mistake. The lady called me back yesterday and said that my balance is $0. So, cautious like i am, i went online to double check this morning. Surprise! my balance is now more than double what the bill said. What?! So i call again and the lady tells me that they added new charges and they are re-billing the insurance company. I asked if i should pay the bill now or wait for a new bill to come. Her brilliant answer "It's up to you. We won't say no to your money." Nice, real nice. So I'm so unimpressed with the hospital now that I'm done. No more injuries for me...ever! Maybe i won't be having babies because I can't deal with the stupid hospital.
In other frustration...I'm having to redo all of the textbook orders at work because the girl who was in charge of them and just left screwed them up royally. I'm pretty stressed out with that right now. Hopefully things are getting fixed now, before the semester starts. If there are problems the first day of school I'm going to have a herd of angry professors blaming me. Not enjoyable.
So there is my venting for the day. Other than that life is great. I guess i shouldn't complain. Life would be pretty boring without stupid people to keep everyone on their toes.

Yeah, any kind of medical billing is super bougie! They never seem to know what the crap they're talking about.
Medical billing is particularly evil, and particularly inept. My biggest beef with them stems from a hospital that kept "finding" new bills for services already rendered. I finally told them that I would pay what they were asking only if they would put it in writing that the current balance reflected all services rendered to date. I thought it was pretty reasonable, but they refused. They wouldn't even offer verbal assurances much less writing.
I think they are still under the mistaken impression that I owe them money.
